morrow? l have my choice for Con-
gross, and II IS II choice deliberately
made. l have real interest In the
success OF my candidate, but | really
believe that Il large vote at the polls
Tuesday would give me greater salts

have stated tho truth when YOU say
that the great evil OF to-day is the
public indifference toward their civic
duties.
1t is rather strange too. that the men
who do not vote, leaving that work
to the professionals. are the loud
est compliments Of the fact that the
professional politicians elect men whom
they want instead Of men the city
wants. What do they expect? These
men are not in politics for their health,
they have the right 10 vote. and If by
exercising II they can forward their
own ends, who has the right To com
plain? Certainly not the men who
stand idly by and let them do 1t.
