Your Respoasible Duty Is To Voieà Whenever an election is called, and in particular a mun- icipal election, the press takes the lead in urging the electorate to get out and vote. In fact it fails upon the press to, take the lead in encouraging a more general interest in public aif airs. In the absence of compulsory voting and the lack of any officiai proclamttiofl urging people to exercise their franchise, this self- imposed task of* the press is one of the f ew remaining factors in stimulating the flagging interest in democratic institutions. When once again we reiterate the slogan: "Vote as you please-but vote" we trust it will be received at this particular time with a sense of responsibility in greater measure than has been displayed in former years. Even when candidates have pro- vided transportation to come to the poils, the response has bee n too often discouraging. The only way to preserve free institutions is to support them through the franchise. The.election on Monday is highly important in view of the fact that so much important work is in prospect for the coming year. Ratepayers should be impressed with the necessity of electing the strongest possible representation for 1947. The Statesman off ers support to no particular slate. The matter re- mains strictly in the hands of you-the ratepayers-who supply the funds to run the business of the town. It is big business. Therefore, take timne off to vote in Monday's contest. )nly 14 jack rabbîts and two1 approximately 80 members and foxes, but the nîmrods feel they location for the next hunt.
