WHY DID THE VOTE FALL OFF

WHY DID THE VOTE FALL OFF
The falling off by some 100000 OF
the popular vote in the presidential
election from the totals of 1908 is a
susprising aspect of the election that
causes much discussion The most
plausible explanations offered are,
first, that there was a good deal less
money to spend this year second,
that owing to the length and bitter
ness of the campaign the people be-
came tired Of politics
1t is comonly estimated that about
one man in every four or five of pop
ulation could be voter according to
the strictness Of the tests imposed in
various states Apparently about one
man to every seven Of population had
the energy to walk up to the polls and
vote on November 5th
II it was announced that on a certain
day, at hours convlent for all classes
Of people, every citizen over 2t would
be given a $1.OO bin free, probably 9S
per cent of the voters would happen
along aud take their dollar When
Patrick Henry got to talking about
the privilege Of voting. he remarked
Give me liberty or give me death
But Patrick lived in time when they
didn't know how to take joke
