SAD BLOW
Lake County Situation BY
Reason of War and Epi-

Candidates Do Their Can

These are dTear days for Lake county
politicians for with war and influenza
the public mind is occupied to an extent
that the November 5th election less
than two weeks off. is seldom mention
ed except by candidates and then in a
sort of apologize manner.
The total registration Of $4,000 while
only 5000 under the registration Of two
years ago represents weeks of work by
both parties. Nearly every voter who
registered was button-heled and assist
ed by member Of one of the political
organizations. Therefore leaders see
the necessity of creating enthusiasm
and arousing interest in the county and
state election. the Importance Of which
has been blurred by the shadow of
greater events.
The voter must be made to realize
that his duty as a citizen is increased
greatly by the fact that tho country
Is at war and the young men are bear
ing arms and laying down their lives.
He must be made to realize that he IS
responsible for the conduct of civil af-
fairs and has a patriotic function 10
perform at the polls.
How the candidates are going to tell
the potential voter these and other
things is the real problem. however. The
