Would it be better to have more members OF

LACK OF INTEREST IN POLITICS

LACK OF INTEREST I'm POLlllOo
TURING our recent city campaign there
~ was much complaint over the small num-
Der of votes at the primary elections The vote
at the regular city election was also small as
compared with that cast in Presidential con-
test The wonder was why the people did not
take more interest in civic affairs and snow
their concern by appearing at the polls. But
il seems that as regards civic interest WI
mineton surpasses Baltimore, Md, where the
recent primary elections of both parties have
been pronounced 'farces' by one OF the Bal
timore papers.
There are some 10000 registered voters in
the MARYLAND metropolis The vote is almost
evenly divided, the Republicans carrying the
CITY at one election and the Democrats at the
next Yet, at the recent Republican primaries
only 1898 votes were cast in the entire city.
The Democrats sSiSd somewhds letter s as they
polled about 10000 votes Aptem- and he endeavo,

terest. The average vote was triie more than
1000.
The Baltimore Star says that in no instance
did any candidate have a chance unless he was
supported by the organization" Not only IS
there complaint of the small VOTE but there is
comment because of the fact that 10000 resi-
dents of Baltimore take no interest in politics
and are not even registered The city is ruled
by very small percentage of her voters.
When we look at these Baltimore figures, we
feel assured that Wilmingtonians are not less
interested in government than their neighbors
The Baltimore Star remarks that those who
have been engaged in improving the primary
law of Maryland have made "a mess of it. Ii,
however, the vote is so small under primary
law it would probably be still smaller if the pri-
maries were merely to elect delegates to a con-
vention to nominate ticket Some writers
seem to think that the people are becoming less
interested in politics than formerly. 1t mus:
be confessed that there is not great concern in
political affairs throughout the country. There
have been no sharply drawn issues to divide the
parties and until there is a change it is not likely
that there will be a revival of intense partisan
feeling such as VIC used to have.
