World conditions being in such a turmoil, people should carefully choose the man who plays such an important part in foreign affairs. Yet, do you find this in- terest among the majority? A person today will do anything to save the effort of going to the polls. ' Nvhen our, forefathers formed a democratic government they wanted it to be a servant of the peopleg carrying out the peopldi desires. Today the American citizen is the servant of the gov- ernment. Americans are continually meeting the demands of the government. UAnd everyone just sits back and lets this go on. nLet's get interested in what's going on right before our eyes. Ulf everyone would vote in the coming elections with an un- bias mind some of the evils of the political world might be cor- rected. nFor this reason, I believe every citizen should vote in the coming elect1on.M ,
