I T he g re a te st possession of a free people Is th e ballot— th e rig h t to vote. It Is a defen d er of o u r liberties and a weapon ag a in st Injustice. Yet th a t invaluable h eritag e is not prized by m illions of otherw ise good citizens. P roof of th is s ta te m ent can be found in undeniable statistics. In m ost elections, less than half of the persons who are en titled to vote do ao. It is exceptional when an election brings to th e vot ing booths m ore th a n fifty per cent of enfranchlaed citizens. One resu lt Is th a t public officials a r e elected by m inorities— th e vote of th e m a jo rity La silent.
