Next Tuesday is Election
Day. This is a time of peren-
nial, electric excitement which
seems unique only to elec-
tions. Also, it is a time of
sobering sadness.
Here's why: This year in
Texas there are an estimated
5.900,000 people over 21, but
only 3,110.000 are eligible to
vote. And that "eligibility es-
timato” takes in everybody:
poll-taxpayers, folks who were
issued ■xwnptinus and those
who live in towns who do not
require over-age exemptions,
and those who registered un-
dor the federal provision.
So, right off the bat we lost
more than two million poten-
tial voters.

the polls close at 7 p.m.

General Election Tuesday.
In all, 20 polling places
will be open for business
from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m.
With a paid poll tax count
of more than 2,500, balloting
in the Presidential race is ex-
j^hted to exceed the record
2,773 votes cast in Grimes
County during the 1960 Ken-
nedy-Nixon scrap.
For several months, the bat.
tie lines have been drawn.
Active campaigning by both
the Republicans and Demo-
crats will apparently continue
right up to election day.
County Clerk Trinston Har-
rs late Tuesday reported a
total of 102 absentee ballots
issued with three full days
remaining before Friday’s
deadline. The final count is
certain to pass the 116 ab-
sentee record of 1960.
Attracting interest equal to
that of the Johnson-Goldwater
Presidential race is that be-
tween incumbent Ralph W.
Yarborough, Democrat, and
George Bush, Republican, for
a' seat in the United States
Senate.
A total of 5,500 bal-
lots and all the necessary
election supplies have been
delivered to the county clerk.
