fact that a biennial ,ctlon amend
ment has been passed calls to mind
that this is one OF the arguments In
favor of the biennial elections. 1t
was advanced at the time as an ar
gument for the passage of the law that
elections were not needed every year
as an educational factor In the making
of citizens. 1t was argued that In this
day and age the people get their in
formation on political matters as on
almost all others from the newspapers.
The newspapers keep abreast of the
trend of public sentiment and opinion.
This information is given as 1t hap
pens and not in one big dose during a
short campaign. The fact that the
people kept their equilibrium during
the last presidential campaign and
could not be gotten to attend political
meetings In any considerable numbers
is merely another evidence along the
same line tending to snow that the
people get their information as they
go along from the newspapers.
