flucnce upon the election.
One frequently hears during u cam
paign the statement: 1My ballot won't

there Is no use in my go'ug 4" the polls ="
Men Who habitually make THE state
meut forget that they do nOl stand
alone. Public interests have suffered
greatly IN he pnst by the sta~y-lt.home
greatly count, and yet in the aggregate
these stay.at.bome ballots would in
many cases have changed results. And
there have been many instances where
even n single ballot might have turned
the scale.
Not long ago the St. Louis Republic
said that, ut a municipal election III st.
Louis one Of the nominees for the city
council WAS elected by a plurality OF
three votes ont OF "a total Of about 9S.0O0
and thesc three votes definitely decided
the majority,of the superior branch Of the
municipal assembly. These three votes
caused a majority OF one in the city
council; by such Il small majority put
mayor mid his administrators. These
three votes practically determined the
general working policy of the council.
Coz .menting upon this fact the rs.
public said. ~At some nEIe u tmr ma,
tons history one vote might determine
the governments policy or the country's
destiny. The small plurality nf three
votes out Of 95. 000,... impresses tl,e value
OF the ballot and ac]ccn;uates the duty
of patriotism upon every occasion
Every ballot is equal. Every ballot j!
