Editor, Peoples Voice
Your Editors note replying to Esther
Curtis query on voting records As one
t the first directors of the Cooperative
Publishing Company which set up and
named The Peoples Voice, are you not
overlooking the fact that the set up
was made to educate the citizens of
erals. You state the entire voting record
of the Legislators in Sc counties would
be $50 first thousand, S25 second thou

There is no additional cost to The
Voice in printing 10000 for 10 differ
ent set ups than printing 10000 for one
party.* How in the world do you ex-
pect coverage in % counties of the Sc
unless different groups in other coun-
ties send them in for distribution by
the half dozen liberals in that county?
| feel that many readers of The Voice
will agree with the following of
thought:
The Voice will accept orders for the
Voting Record for the Sc counties at
a rate of $25 thousand, when orders
for 10000 are received the rate will
be based on $24 a thousand for all or
ders received. Undoubtedly you can
make better rate if orders for 10000
received.
Say you make first deadline for first
run to start September first. Sure
checks must accompany the order. How
else did you figure on covering every
one of the Sc counties, where the vote
of the Senators and Representatives are
as important as the votes of those from
Silver Bow, Cascade, Deer Lodge. etc.
