VOTE
Voting is a great Am erican privilege. We are the controllers
of our destiny. It is ^really surprising how few of our citizetfs
avail them selves of this opportunity. Only a little over half of
the people took the trouble to register their choice for leaders,
who direct the affairs of our nation in 1948. Mississippi registered
about 15G of the voters and several other sta te s less than 2 0 7 .
This seems like a tragic situation, it truly is.
Do you realize you are living in a country where the common
citizen.has more privileges and advantages than any o th er people
of the e a rth ? Do you ever just stop and think th at the working
people receive the highest wages ever paid for services, yet
have more m odern convenincs and luxuries than are enjoyed by
those of any other nation? Do not forget th at nearly three ,
fourths of all inventions and scientific discoveries are the product
of American minds.
Two years ago the governor of California m ade this s ta te
ment during his campaign for reelection, "The sta te has enough
autom obiles if placed bum per to bum per to form six lanes from
New York City to San Francisco. This is probably m ore than
any nation outside our country possesses. This is just one exam ple
of our fo rtu n ate situation. O ur homes, factories and our farm s
are filled w ith all the m odern conveniences known to the
scientific world. We are citizens of the m ost favored country
of the world. Do you not think you should be interested enough
to her fu tu re to vote for the ideals and policies you feel will
keep her a leader?
