He stated that the people of his land had never ‘been trained in their homeland to vote; that in comâ€" ing to America they had not learned the importance of the ballot, and that a very large percentage of the voters were in the habit of voting on whichâ€" ever gide, or for whatever condidate, would pay them most for their votes. He felt that this practice was detriâ€" mental to the welfare of the people of his nation, and he and I both agreed that the welfare of America depended upon the elhnimtio‘of‘ such pracâ€" tices. s @x "In the colonial days in America varisous restrictions were placed .on the extension of the right of suffrage. In some cases the restrictions approxâ€" imated those now in vogue in India. However, the educational reauir~â€" ments were never as high as are the requirements in India at the present time. In the latter part of the colonâ€" ial days, and particularly in the south, it is stated that the number of voters were very few. The story is told of two gentlemen of North Carolina who met: and discussed the selection of a member of the Continental congress from North Cu‘xl-;llm. The two z& tlemen agreed that of all the possi candidates they ‘themselves were the best qualified. One of them yielded and authorized the other to proceed to Philadelphia as the official repreâ€" sentative of North Carolina in the Continental congress. â€" New Republics "Following the World war republics were organized and in their constiâ€" tutions the right of â€"suffrage . was widely extended, and the responsibilâ€" ity for voting was sometimes expressâ€" ed in forceful language. In Czechkoâ€" Slovakia, for instance, the right to vote is most general,â€"every person whose name is on the voting list must either vote, be sent to jail for one day, or pay a ‘fine of considerable magnitude. 1 understand that in Czechkoâ€"Slovakia it is not difficult to get out the voters. + , In India "In India at the present time the franchise is restricted to those who owt» land or to those who have, seven years previously or more, been gradâ€" uated from a standard college or uniâ€" versity. It is said that the right of vote is highly prized in India; that those who have the right exercise it, and that the results are satisfactory, at least to those who vote, although, of course, only a very small percentâ€" age of the total population thus have the right to suffrage. J "In England at one time the franâ€" chise was for all practical purposes limited to the lord, or the chief citiâ€" zen of the district. He selected among the available candidates, whether the position to be filled was a seat in the mrliamentoranofl!ceoeflesmdic- nity. ® od has much to comm@d would be quite impractical such as America. n ~"The problem of voting is not now, but it is assuming increasing importâ€" ance and is being given increasing atâ€" tention. The qmliï¬eatgon of a voter lndthemotbodoleat_ï¬n:thovou bas differed from age to age, and from land to land. In ancient Greece the selection of candidates was deâ€" termined by lot.

Both the Republican and Demoâ€" uk wf“"w':amma:"nï¬ York quarters. in and Chicago, are frankly admitting they are in a state of worry over tlr apathy of the voters. It may as well be confessed that no one of them has yet succeeded in working out the magic formula which will bring the voters to the polls. In diagnozing the gituation, however, leaders of both political parties have reached : one common conclusion, namely, that a considerable part of the apathy among the common and garden voters is because of the confidence which the said common and garden voters have in Presideng Coolidge, his days and ways. & GENERAL APATHY ON ELECTION REPORTED People Little Interested In Trifling Issues and Political Bunk THE CHICAGO DAILY NEWS THE HIGHLANDP PARK PRESS, HIGHLAND PARK, Order through your local dealer or mail coupon The Chicago Daily Newsâ€"whose business is to keep pace with the trends of civilizationâ€"has devoted a great deal of effort to the development of a Some boy awkwardly fumbling with wires and screwâ€"driver tonight may beâ€" fore his life passes send the spark to Mars!
