EDITORIAL
WILL VOTE THIS YEAR
If on were told that In tha
last presidential election less
than half the voters cast ballots.
It would be hard to believe, yet
that Is the fact. The percentage
of citlsens who exercised the elec
tive franchise In this country
during a series of presidential
years shows a growing public
patfcy. Percentages of those
casting ballots were aa follows:
18. 80 per cent of all cltliens;
1300. 73 per cent; 190S. 6 per
cent; 191!. 2 per cent; 1920.
less than 60 per cent. The eiact
percentage of voters who did not
vote last presidential year. 1920.
was .5085.
The number of votes cast In
all the states was 2t.S22.C14.
while the total number of ellgl
bles who did not vote was 27.
651.901. The south led all the states In
proving recreant to the dirty of
voting, but Oregon has no very
proud record, making a showing
of 47 per cent of her clUtens who
were ao little interested In the
result they did not cast their
ballots.
This lacks but litUe of half
the total electorate of the state
and is sufficiently alarming.
There are many Indications
that at the election November 4
of this year there will be a lar
ger percentage of the eligible vo
ters of the country who-will take
part In the election thaa at any
general election for many years.
The laboring men. the friends
of labor and the farmers mak
ing op tb largest part of the
voters of the country fell this
year that they have an opportun
ity to make their vote felt .and
will come out and vote.
The three sided contest of
this year la arousing Interest such
as has not been aroused -for a
quarter of a century and that
will Insure Improved conditions
regardless of whom is the win
ning candidate.

THOMAS WITHDKAWH FROM
CAXUlllACV VUK JHIlKtTOK
"It is very hot traveling at this
time of the year, especially hot
crossing the deeert. Everyone's
chief interest is in keeping cool.
Next, politics seem to play an im
portant part. The poll of the
Literary Digest is exciting a lot
of comment. On all sides one
bears that Coolidge will be elect
ed hands down, with La Follette
a close second. Almost everyone
concedes that Davis has very lit
tle chance. One also hears the
decision of the Loeb-Leopold case
freely discussed. Opinion seems
to be strongly in favor of lynch
ing the two degenerates. Then,
the round-the-world flyers come
in the much conversation. Peo
ple are wondering whether the
trip was worth the money it cost
or whether this was not an un
necessary waste on the part of
our government. Everyone seems
to believe that Lieut. Lowell
Smith should receive the heart
felt good wishes of this country
on his daring ifeat." Cornelius
Vanderbilt in correspondence by
wire to his Pacific coast papers.
PANNING" THK MAYOR
(Pacific Record Herald)
A G. A. R. veteran who came
to Medford In the Interest of the
LaFollette campaign was refused
the right to speak" from the band
stand in the city park, by that
greatest of all political "jokes"
who sits at the head of Medford'a
political table.
Well, after all, it may be a
good thing. Some day, folks may
consider Medford of sufficient
value to warrant , their being a
little more particular 'what' they
elect to public office. 1 We pre
sume that "His Highness' did not
want anyone to speak In Med
tord wiho had fought to 'save' the
country.
Editor Klamath News:
I wish to announce to the wa
ter users of the Klamath Irriga
tion Ditrict through your col
umn that I have withdraw
from the race for district direc
tor and the reason lor so doing.
' Immediately after my nomina
tion for the position by ballot at
a mass meeting of the water
users of the lower end of the dis
trict that same clique of gentle
men of Klamath Falls who have
been directing the. affairs of the
district with such entire satisfac
tion to themselves, being inoe us
ed. I suppose at the temerity of
the water users In daring to
choose for themselves who would
have for directors these violating
the well established Derogative
of the gentlemen above referred
to If deciding wbp should con
duct the water users affairs sent
an emissary to the end of the
project with Instructions to split
the Malin vote. He succeeded In
getting another candidate to en
ter the race
Beliering strongly that It la
vitally necessary that the water
users elect directors this year
that will operate the project In
the interest of its farmers and
knowing that to do so will mean
a very hard fight agalnslt en
trenched privilege. Immediately
suggested to the new candidate.
V. J. Spolek. that we both with
draw our cand'dacy in favor of
J. L. Jacob, the second choice
for the position as shown by the
ballot at the water users mass
meeting.
Spolek. being au Interested as
I am in the welfare of this com
munity readily accepted the sug
gestion stating that he would
willingly withdraw in favor -of
Jacob.
I want to say to the water
Users who so kindly supported
me at the mass meeting that in
view of that support I would
have withdrawn from the race
for no other reason than the good
of the cause.
We must elect our candidates.
There must be no division of
opinion. You have in Jacob, as
most of you know aa well as I, a
better man than I am, a success
ful farmer, of good judgment,
well informed, safe, sane and
conservative, and whose sincer
ity and honesty no man doubts
who knows him.
He will make a fine director
and I think I am safe In saying
he will have the unanimous sup
port of the water users of this
end of the project.-
Both he and Bradbury will
have my most enthusiastic sup
port. A. M. THOMAS.

by leaps and bounds, and thej
road antboritles of Modoc should
awaken to Its Importance. The

and should have, a good road to
the county seat, but at the pre

than none, besides it being al
most impassable about half of
the year.
