Normally perhaps less than 30 per of the voters
in the United States actually vote The remaining major
ity for one another fails to vote This is the
result of many things. 1t is sometimes the result of dis
gust the part of the voter with all candidates In the
field and it is sometimes the result of indifference or pure
Ith0ughtessness.
In 1920, 26705346 persons voted. This 40 per
cent of the 54421 832 persons who eligible to vote
In the 80 states in which governors were elected IN 49,
15 8507 persons voted while 38,434, 483 eligible
Only 80 per cent of those eligible actually went to the
polls Many times particularly in primary elections the
vote is lighter than that 1t almost beyond under
standing that less than majority of those eligible to vote
in the United States actually exercise the franchise. The
figures, however, are unassallable.
1t is undoubtedly the fact that trade union members
faithful to the duties of citizenship those in any
other sphere of American life. Nevertheless, the fact
must be that many thousands of trade unionsts have
failed to The coming national elections will be of
preme importance. The primary elections will be equally
important 1t is debatable whether primary elections in
many not more important than final elections
There be good candidates in final elections, unless
good candidates nominated in primary elections. In
many there is bipartisan political machine which
seeks control the primaries of both of the great pot
cal parties and the only opportunity alert progressive
citizenship has for sefasseron is in the primary cleo
TONS If the opportunity is lost then it is lost for good
There must not be repetition this year of the tragic
showing of 1920 and the still hopeless showing of
1922. We live today under government composed of
officials elected by majority of people The trade
unions do much any other organized force in our
national life toward bringing about election in which
a majority of the eligible voters will participate The
question should be made the sube of discussion and
action in all local union meetings Editors of trade union
publications should make it object of frequent
ment.
The right to vote is not something which given to
the people, which they came by easily 1t the
suit of tremendous effort and terrific sacrifice. 1t was
gained because people had the conviction that other
kind of government could be tolerated and because they
were willing to sacrifice everything for that conviction.
The failure of 81 per cent of eligible American voters to
exercise the right dearly bought is appalling thing
The of democracy be assured only by intei
participation the selection of officials and the
making of national decisions by oyerwR emng major
ity of the people.
Let the whole trade union movement begin and
keep constantly at the job of educating trade unionsts
and ontradeunionsts alike to what is paramount duty
in every electonthe casting of vote by every person
eligible to vote

UNITE COMMUNITY
BUILDING PLAN
WITH I. NJ. {. A.

Consolidation of the community
building idea with a Young Mems
Christian Association in Champaign
i the final decision Of a general COM
mittee Of business and professional
men who have had the eity's need Of
large auditorium for convention
purposes plus a young mems home
under consideration for the past three
months.
Differences Of opinion were praeti-
eally eliminated last Friday evening
al a meeting of the committee which
vas convened at the request OF Presi-
dent F. c. Amsbary, OF the Chamber
Of Commerce. Only one of the fifteen
members of the committee present
voted against the Y. NJ. c. A. plan.
All others present expressed the opin-
ion that the Y. NJ. c. A. organization
would be the most effective means of
caring for young men of the city, but
insisted that the building when con-
structed by made to include an audi
forum that will seat approximately
l 900 people.
In order to obviate the necessity OF
raising a large sum of money for the
construction of an auditorium which
is not likely to be opened except on
convention days the committee tenta.
lively agreed that the gymnasium of
the Y. NJ. C. A. building should be sc
constructed as to make its use posi-
bic for convention purposes. Thus
the entire building will be in constant
use, with the least possible outlay Of
expense.
Investigations previously made by
members of the committee showed
that the Y. NJ. c. A. program is ar
ranged to accommodate all young men
without regard to differences in creed
or church affiliation.
1t was explained that the offering
of Senator w. B. Mckinley will be
made upon consideration that young
mne of the city are properly cared
for, and members of the committee
understood that the senator favors the
Y. NJ. C. A. plan and is not particu-
larry interested in a community build
ing for convention purposes only.
According to President Amsbary
and other members of the committee
false reports have been widely circu-

INJUNCTION JUDGES
DESERVE DEFEAT BY
ILLINOIS VOTERS

The reason why the State Fedora
ton of Labor has endorsed the can
didacy of Judge Lawrence Il. Stringer-
of Lincoln, is summed up in the legis-
lative report submitted to the Decatur
convention Of the Illinois State Fed-
Grafton Of Labor.
In the report some important facts
are pointed out showing conelusively
that iniunctions are now being used
in a sinister way that is sure to be
come a menace, not only to those I'm.
mediately affected by such injunc-
tions, but to the entire country.
The injunction as now misused, ae-
cording to the report, represents a
sinister revival of the power Of an
cient kings to govern their subjects
by arbitrary ptoelamatious issued
without the authority or sanction Of
any legislative body. As such the in
junction becomes a substitution Of
personal government for government
by law.
The steady growth Of this evil
magnifed in its persistent application
to labor disputes, has marked an
epoch in the fight of Labor against
capital Bills aimed at the evil have
Dtti NuiiElCttHAiA bRDbsth ~ a NAsAae
whose purpose is to make use Of the
injunction to prevent the organized
action of workingmen for self-protec-
ton. In short the injunction is being
used to set aside legislation enacted
solely for the purpose Of obtaining
what the injunction denies.
Where judges can be found who will
resort to the injunction method of do
ing away with the legal rights of
labor naturally they receive the I'M
qualified endorsement of classes who
have consistently opposed any legis-
lation designed to aid the workman to
secure his inherent right.
Labor has every reason to believe
that Judge Stringer will not set aside
law by the use of the injunction
which was never intended for such u
prostitution, but which on the con-
trary was intended as a supplement
tary aid in enforcing law.
The injunction is now being use /
against the working people not only
during times of strikes, but also to
prevent them from appealing to their
fellow workers to join their unions
even in cases where strikes are not
in progress.
"The constitution is brazenly chal.
lenged," says the report, '.in practi-
cally every one of these so-called

swept into office last Tuesday. A. C.
Singbusch, in the race for supervisor,
received majority of 1856 over his
opponent, John C. Bell. The vote was,
Singbusch, 1917; Bell, Ali.
For assistant supervisor the vote
was j. o. Goodman, 675; Joseph w.
Percival, AIS; H. p. Harris, 672;
Donald c. Dodds, 445.
For Assessor, Edwin c. Flanagan,
656; George f. Parry, 3S7.
For park commissioner, j. NJ. White,
$40; Mrs. Anna b. O'Donnell, $50.
Little interest was taken in view of
the fact that no issues were drawn.
At noon less than 300 votes had been
cast in Champaign. Reports in the
afternoon showed only total of 500
votes in the Urbana election.
With the exception of one candidate
the entire Republican ticket was elect
ed in Urbana. A. F. Shaft defeated
William Archdeacon, Republican, by
a majority of only 13 votes.
Other results were as follows: Fo1
clerk, Francis A. ingalls,, S25; George
Bonnen, 1856. For commissioner of
highways, Frank Werts, 758; H. M

President Coolidge has finally Gust
ed Attorney General Daughertyl The
president has been commended for
going Slow" His attitude, however,
is not fair test of capable eXecu-
tive. Most any man of ordinary talent
will arrive at a proper conclusion if
he is given enough time. A presi-
dent of the United States should be
possessed of a mind sufficiently acute,
and a vision sufficiently far reaching
to arrive at proper conclusion before
the majority of his constituents are
awake. President Coolidge has not
shown this qualification.
Perhaps he hoped that the attor-
ney general would be able to prove
an alibi, or that the popular clamor
for his resignation would be asuaged
by the resignation of Secretary Den
by, and a few other lesser lights.
Theodore Roosevelt, Andrew Jack
son, or anyone of a dozen other presi-
dents would have ousted the attorney
general long ago. 1t isn't enough to
be good. a president must be man
of action.
The argument against a "slow act
ing president in this day is that a
man of the Roosevelt type would
never have permitted the transaction
which resulted in the Teapot Dome
scandal. 1t remained for a good man
of the Harding type to close his eyes
while the grafters were alert to put
something over on the administration.
This is the best that can be said of
| the late president in connection with
this astounding piece of graft. 1t may
be conceded that he was not sufficient
! ly alert to know what was happening.
! This may vindicate him as a man;
! but 1t is reflection upon his ability
as a president of the United States.
The hardness of President Coolidge
/ marks him as a man of the Buchanan,
! Mckinley, Harding type, and ii is a
! serious question whether such a man
! represents the type of president need
| ed in this day when keen minded men
are alert to grasp whatever opportun-
! ity is at hand to fleece the govern
ment, or to put something over on an
administration.
The Republicans have had hard
! shedding since the war. Several gov
errors have been under terrific fire;
DENLY and Daugherty and a few
lesser lights have been removed from
office; Governor MeCray, well known
cattle king and banker, faces convic-
! ton in Indiana on a federal indict-
ment; one president has died and Bob
| LaFollette has pneumonia. which, il
prolonged will seriously handicap his
race for the presidency on an indie
! pendent ticket. William II. Anderson,

EVERYBODY VOTE TUESDAY,

months of the year is better than
SIPS an hour in a trade that works
only nine months in the year.
Merchants, retired business men and
farmers, professors and ministers are
all paid better than the building
trades crafts; yet because they have
missed this point they are not aware
of the loss every such craftsman suf-
fers during the long periods of idle
ness during the year. Hence they
criticise him for demanding a living
wage.
1t would be interesting to know how
many merchants, farmers, property
owners, bankers, etc, could aecumu-
late compentence on the returns of
eight or nine months labor per year,
If by any chance they were denied
any returns for the remaining months
and had to live, pay rent, taxes,
educate their children and keep pace
with all other necessary expenses
throughout the entire IL months.

ney General Daugherty. Indictments
have been returned against Represen-
tative John w. Langley, Republican,
of Kentucky, upon which he faces a
term in prison and fine of $4,000,
and Representative Zihlman, of Mary
land, is linked with the Kentucky con-
gresham in open charges of conspir-
acy to defeat the prohibition amend
ment. Will II. Hays has been resur-
rected long enough to brand Al Jen-
nings, a deliberate falsifier when the
outlaw-preacher declared that the Re-
publican national committee had ac-
cepted a gift of $4,000 from the late
Jake Hamon. To this category may
be added scores of prohibition agents
appointed during the Republican
regime, who have sold out to the boot
leggers-and the end is not yet. There
are still eleven months and two DAYS
before another president can posi-
bly, be inaugurated.
Verify it would have been better to
let the Democrats have clean sweep
in the last election.
Butler Brothers, well known mail
order house, refuses longer to catal-
ogue fire arms of the pistol and revol-
yer type.
Figures, they say, show that large
per cent of such weapons are put to
murderous use and the firm refuses
longer to contribute to the criminal
record by providing the necessary
arms and ammunition for criminals.
In order to be sure that the gangs
tiers, crooks and would-be killers are
not among their patrons they propose
to dispense wholly with the traffic in
weapons. Hence pistols and revolt
vers have been stricken from their
catalogues.
Metropolitan newspapers and mag
azines have consistently urged abol-
ishing the sale Of weapons in a gen.
eral way and the action of this firm
Will afford a substantial argument for
those who oppose the indiscriminate
scattering of such weapons for profit
A more effective campaign could
be waged If congress would pass a
prohibitive law against the sale of
pocket weapons except to authorities;
but even this would not stop the
traffic. GangSters would obtain them
in some manner. but there would be
less likelihood of boys in the teen
age becoming killers.
The building trades crafts have
Justly asked for increased wages and
have been granted a part of their
demands. Naturally there is opposi-
ton to such increase and this opposi-
ton comes largely from those who are
Ignorant of the facts.
1t should be understood without
argument that a craft which loses
from three to four months work in a
year should command a higher wage
per hour than is granted to those who
are employed II months in the year.
II building trades were placed on
salary basis the demand for in
creased pay per hour would not be so
iaslstent; but such trades are paid
only for actual time spent at labor.
