Usually such an event is heralded by the » visits of candidates and wide newspaper and radio publicity at this stage, but unless interest is suddenly aroused the day will pass with a very light vote. Judging from the voice of the populace, there is com placency with the present order, and indifference to change. There is more interest in sugar rationing than who will be chosen as political nominees for the fall election. If the average voter were asked today what he will do May 15th, he would say, “I don’t know,” or “I’ll be working on my job,” or perhaps, “Who’s running anyway?” And yet that day is vastly important. We will se lect nominees for the United States senate, congress, for Governor and other state, district and county of fices. These men will be factors in the conduct of our government for the next two years. We are in the greatest war of all history to maintain our demo cratic form of government. The exercise of the right to cast our ballot is the fundamental strength of that government. In contrast, we hear announced in Europe the power of life and death and control of all privileges vested in a tyrannical dictator. The freedom of the individual is dethroned. The absolutism of a Cae sar, or of Charles V, or of the Czars, or of the mon- chies the rise of democracies destroyed, is again re stored on one continent and is seeking to control the entire world. Lest we forget that these were once one with Nin- evali and Tyre and that freedom is still at stake, we should warm up to our constitutional privilege to protect our liberties with that simple process of cast ing our ballots in the selection of capable men to govern us and protect our rights. This may sound like too much grandeur of history for a state primary, but is the cold facts. What we must do to protect our American way of life is to enlist at the polls as well as in the battlefield. No voice will be heard so well in the conduct of things to come as that of the citizen-voter and we hope that on May 15th, in our own area, he will give a good account of himself.
