The increase is unprecedented in the history OF
local politics. In figures II is 27.099. While the
increased population and the fact that this is

in registration there is no doubt that the inter-

that registered two years ago.

ignorant Of governmental affairs, and never had
government or any political training They
never had any antecedents who were instructed

persons of their standing the power to vote is
very unwise from my point of view. And per-
sons who have managed governmental affairs In

and the reason is found largely In the Ignorance
of the voters.
