“The matter that I wish t« bring
to your attention i* the importance
of casting your ballot. The trouble
with a large percentage of the peo-

not sense the importance of giving a
matter of this nature serious consid-
eration and consequently when elec-
tion day comes
not cast and the proposition is OVer-
K°ing whelmingly defeated. It is the duty
of every citizen in this city to give
this matter serious one ide ration and
arrive at a definite conclusion and
when he has reached that conclusion
l*b to the pole* and cast his ballot
it and and urge that his neighbor and friends
tonight do likewise. It is for lack of inter -

by 29 per cent of the registered vote
of his state of Wisconsin. In the
election that chose Senator Brook-
hart, 55 per cent of the registered
voters did not go to Ute (Joies. It is
safe to say that 90 per cent of those
who remained away were industrious ' ternary wood-entting
thrifty, conservative citizens who were '
more interested in carrying on their
own personal affairs than in seeing
that they sent to the United States
senate a man who would truly rep-
resent them as they would desire to
