THE VALUE OF ONE VOTE.
IRu Rodorick COrWin

II have only one vote. What differ.
ence does it make whether 1 use 1t
or not There will be no change IN
the result because I do not go to the
polls" This is the most frequent form
of excuse with which careless or In
dolent citizens soothe their .consc1-
ences on election day.
OF course the excuse carries Its own
REPUTATION with 1t. II everybody
thought and acted thus, there would
be no election at all.
But, moreover. there have been
many cases known in this country
when a single vote not merely on the
bench, or in the legislative hall, but
even at the polling booth, where 1t
would appear that its individuality
would be absolutely lost, has decided
the fate of great men and important
causes.
In the Gubernatorial campaign in
Massachusetts in November, 1889,
Marcus Morton defeated Edward Ev-
erett by single vote in a total poll OF
100,622. This defeat interrupted the
hitherto triumphant political career Of
Everett, and withdrew him from the
field Of possible Presidential candi-
dates, until 1860, when he reluctantly
consented to run as Vice Presidential
nominee on the ticket headed by John
Bell, and was showed out Of sight"
The famous Tow Corwin. United
States Senator from and Governor Of
Ohio, was fond of telling the following
story:
I'm the spring of 1911, at the annual
election in Rhode Island, there was a
town precinct closely contested by the
Federal and the Republican (the
peace and war parties) A
Federal farmer, hurrying down to
vote just before closing time, was
stopped on the way by finding one of
his valuable pigs fast between the
planks of fence. He tried to pull the
pig out, and failed. Then with some
difficulty he prted away one Of the
planks, released the pig, and started
on a run for the voting place. Just
as he got within q hundred feet Of it
the town clock struck six. The polls
closed without his vote. The result
was that a war representative from
that town was elected by one vote.
when the General Assembly met 4
few weeks. afterward war Senator
was chosen by one majority on Joint
ballot. In 1912 the declaration OF war

John C. Kaiser. Republican candidate

announced his withdrawal as candi-

Kaiser realizes If it were not that he

playing particularly well this year. His

ball on a poor kickoff. he ran unaided
through the whole scrub team and scored
a touchdown. His speed was a revela-

game for long time and possibly not
again this year. He injured his back
the first day he was out and has not

that has surrounded the county Jail all
night clamoring for the life of Mrs. Belle
higgins viii attempt to oyerpower the
guard and take the woman, her husband
and her fourteen-vear-old daughter out

The woman, her husband, George rig
gins, and her daughter, Clarissa, have
been specifically charged by the Cor
oner's Jury with having starved and
tortured to death Riggins's six-year-old
son, Ralph. by former wife, and hav
ing treated the boys two-year-old sis
ter in such IAN iflluman manner that
the babe is now at the point of death
in the county hospital.
Witesses before the Coroners in
quest yesterday testified that while
Mrs higgins treated her own children
well, She behaved toward her two little
stepcllidrca with aendish cruelty. The
jnry reacred verdict without leaving

When their verdict was anaounccd
the crowd III the court room made a
hostile demonstration. The prisoners
would have been dragged osIt and dealt
with summarily there and thea but for
the quickness of the Sheriff III hurrying
them from the court room.
The crowd fiocked from the inquest
chamber to the county jail, growing in
numbers.
The Sheriff made speech 10 the
crowd at midnight, telling chem to dis
pcrsc, as he was prepared to sacrifice
his own life and the livos Of his dcpu-
ties rather than to allow the county to be
dissraced BY the lynclling of d woman.
His speech had some effect, but the
mob refused TO Leave, and II the infant
now in the hospital dies Il may attempt
TO carry out its purpose, BY burning
down the jail over the heads Of the pfis-
