Citizens Urged to Exercise Franchise At All Elections To the Editor Oresham Outlook:__ I would like, through the columns of your paper to call attention to the im portance and duty of every registered voter in the state voting at the pri mary and all other elections. The right of franchise carries with It a priceless privilege, and imposes a serious and solemn duty which should be performed. It is a sad commentary on our republican form of govern ment that legislation of great im port ance frequently is placed upon the statute books of this state by a very small percentage of registered voters. This is also true of the selection of our public officials—city, county and state. In many elections even the most im portant officials heretofore have been elected with probably not over twenty-five or th irty per cent of the registered vote. The citizen who is a qualified elec tor and neglects to go to the polls and vote on election day should be the last person to complain about the election of incompetent officials and the enactm ent of objectionable laws. Instead, he invariable is the first to protest, unmindful of the fact th at the real responsibility for the very situ a tion of which he complains belongs to himself and hundreds of other equally negligent electors for evading their duty as citizens. Another class of residents of this state is equally censurable and re sponsible for this condition. I refer to those residents who, although eli gible to citizenship, frequently neg I lect taking out the necessary papers I and qualifying as citizens for a great many years after arriving in this country. Even then, it is too often the case they are impelled to that action by some reason personal to I themselves, rath er than the more laudable purpose of participating in the election of deserving officials and | the enactm ent of good and beneficial laws as well as the defeat of vicious J and unw orthy m easures. Bad as this I is it is not com parable to citizens of this country who neglect th eir duty to vote thereby failing to m easure up to the full m easure of good citizen- ' ship. It certainly is a privilege to be a part of the electorate in this state I where each voter is in effect a legis lator. This in itself emphasizes the duty of every citizen to vote at all | elections. Good governm ent is assured in pro portion as the electorate participates j therein. A great m ajority of citizens in every community desire good gov ernm ent, clean, trustw orthy officials | and legislation for the public good. The best antidote for unfaithful pub lic officials and undesirable laws, now elected or enacted by plurality vote, [ is a general participation by all elect- I ors in all elections. When the voters, by going to the polls, will express their demand for honest officials and clean laws, then and not until then | will the best men in every community consent to become candidates for pub- | lie office.
