'.' ' If the essence of democracy-is popular suffrage, 'how can democracy continue when those living under it refuse Election A Month Away . .(Christian Science Monitor of October (ith) ' Four weeks from tomorrow the people of the United States will elect n president, vice president, house of rep resentatives and one-third of the members of the senate. To say, that the event, which in .an extreme eventuality t niijrhl amount to , VViViVl,'' revolution, is contemplated calmly is to slate un obvious fact. Nobody is excited except the professional politicians whose business it is to feiffn excitement. Mr. Duller strove to impress on tjie mind of the electorate the theory that the issue is "Conl idjre or Chaos!" but so far as can be obsei-ved he aroused the ttttention' only' of Mr. Shaver who, with n calm disre gard of the Republican lijrht of priority, announces that, as he sees it, tohe issue is "Davis or Chaos!" Presumably by "chaos" these eminent strategists mean Senator La. Toi lette, but the systematic way in which the managers of that candidate are pressing his campaign seems to indicate or derly determination rather than anything chaotic. , . The masses of the people refuse to be unduly excited by the wild alarms of the campaign managers, because they have seen election after election pass without any of the dire results predicted having come to fulfillment. H may be noted in passing also that the victorious party lias seldom, if ever, heaped upon a happy electorate aH the blessings which jts spellbinders have promised. In the end human life, individual and national, runs about the same course whichever party may be in power. He who looks wholly to material things for happiness, or who trusts entirely to human agencies for prosperity, is doomed to disappointment, whatever party may be in power. He who has no other means of averting chaos than the selection of some finite man to administer public affairs is pretty likely to encounter the chaos which he forecasts. Hut if it is well to avoid excitement in politics, it is equally well to study the issues involved and to perform the duty of an elector wisely and sanely. And while there seems nothing to ind,icale that the voters ale contemplat ing this election in such excited fashion as characterized the campaigns of 18 and of 1!)12, there is much to indi cate that they are giving to it serious thought, mid are approaching election day with a fine determination to do their duty as it is revealed to then). We are not inclined to ascribe much importance to prc-i election polls, or straw votes, as indicative of tho relative strength of the candidates. Too many elements of human error and partisan bias are involved to make their show ings impressive.- Hut we do discern in the many polls j now being conducted one almost invariable factor that! demands consideration. That factor is the obvious In clination of voters to "shake off the party yoke," as the rhetoricians express it, or to exercise their independent judgment uninfluenced by party rallying cries. To an extent never before observed, Democrats arc turning to the Republican ticket, Republicans to the Demo cratic ticket, and former adherents of each party to the new progressive organization. If independence in political thought and the exorcise of individual judgment rather than unquestioning fealty to party bo virtues, this year wc shall see a political contest far nlmve the ordinary. Another fact already apparent is that ; strenuous efforts are making to bring out the fullest possible vote; In the )n.st this task has lioen left to the party organizations with results that have become scandalous. Tho proportion of the vote cast to the full number of qualified electors in the . couutry hua steadily declined. The nation has been by wireline two men ropresenlln;; 1 he two extremes. vill nol auec-m'd.
