From coast to coast, in hamlets,
towns and city wards, all summer, the
work of preparing to get out the vote
has gone merrily, vigorously, intensive
ly on. A new habit appeared to be
forming at the primaries. In widely
separated states the percentage of in
crease in votes in primary elections
promised a new popular interest in gov

ried over to many first registration days
with new startling high records of reg

each registered voter is not merely call
ed to the voting booths to cast vote,
but is individually needed there if a
25 per cent increase over the 1920 vote
is to be won. 1t is each individual vote
that counts-and that is counted. No
one can truthfully say that her or his
vote does not matter.
From the tiniest voting precinct on
record-where the entire legal popula-
ton numbers one woman and one man
to the million and half registered
men and women in the greatest city in
the land, each voter, for herself, and for
himself, and all on the same day, must
troop to the polls.-- Only so shall gov
