GETTING THE VOTERS TO VOTE.

The Muskogee Times Democrat in the follow
ng observations strikes an important chord:
why don't the voters OF Oklahoma vote7
The last general election was ono OF the
most holly contested elections we have ever
seon In the state. There were more ole
ments ana more angles that would tend to
bring out fun vote than we have ever
before seen. The election was preceded by
n primary that aroused tremendous Inter

mont to the constitution that should have
arrested the attention OF every man and
woman in the state.

are 63S,209 males over 81 years OF age I'm

2l years OF age, or a total OF 1.00s,5l6 per-
sons OF voting age. These figures do not
include any foreign born unnaturalized
persons.
ON the face OF the returns from tho last
600 votes cast This includes the socialist
as well ms the democrat and republican
votes. This leaves 6OI,6i6 persons OF legal
voting age who did not vote. That Ia more
people who did not vote than who did vote
Yet we talk about n government by the
people.
These figures are conservative. They arc
from the 1890 census. Since that time the
population OF Oklahoma has increased and
a great many who were not OF legal voting
