Why YOUR Vote Is
Needed at the
Primaries

WHY is YOUR vote needed at the primary election?
w FRANK r. Kent political reporter with years of
experience tells best in book he has lust had pub
lished entitled THE Great Game of Politics"
Kent pointing out that not person in five who can
vote takes the trouble to turn out for the primaries says
10 think that the general election is more important
than the primary election, most voters do is TO mag
nI the wrong side of the political picture he writes
As things stand today the popular tendency is TO regard
primaries as the particular Of the politicians and
not oil real interest to the average voter The result Is
that often an absurdly small proportion of the qualified
voters participate in the primaries.
There could not be greater mistake This lack Of
appreciation of what the primaries really mean and the
general neglect to participate in them plays directly into
the hands Of the machine II makes il ridcuously easy
for the machine thru the precinct executives TO control
the situation II actually permits the machine to the
country"
Kent shows how in the city precinct 65 votes
is all the boss needs to control the primary election just
because the average citizen doesn't think ii important
that he vote And it's poor boss who hasn't put enough
people the public payroll that they and their families
furnish him with those 65 votes.
