What is your vote worth?’ Or put it this way: “In the next mayoralty in Duluth John Smith and William Jones will be op- candidates for mayor. —Sup- pos week . before election Smith called on you at your home or place of business and offered you $5 to vote for him., Would you take would you try to get him to raise the price? Or would ‘you refuse at once?. Or,..would you take the money - and then vote for Or would you wait tto see what Jones would offer? Or would you collect something from both of them and then vote for whichever you pleased’? Some way the thing resolves itself into Ben King’s lines: —I would, wouldn't you? Or would’nt you? Anyhow, would you do? Now here: That ds-exactly the position that several hundred men found themselves in, down im Adams county, Ohio, It also duplicates what happened in the Mlinois legislature. You condemn those men, who. sold ther votes, but what do you know about the conditions? ..Perhaps the qualifications of the opposing candi- dates were evenly balanced, and it really made no difference, for that and other reasons, to the yoters,who got the benefit of “their respective ballots. They merely saw in the sit: uation a chance to make a little money “on ‘the’ side ‘without: infring- ing on their own deeper principles, election posing that. a nh, or the offer Jones? what yourself in the same position and what would your vote be worth? In the vote market, which exists in spite of its illegality, the value of a vote depends, as do values in all markets, on the relations of sup- ply and are markets, ke Wall Street for ex- are controlled by artificial means, aifeetefl by the fact. But do you realize that when your vote ds con- sidered at its real value, not as your vote, but A VOTE, its price is be- yond the power of all the wealth in the uniiverse? Here is the principle on which its worth fis based: True government depends on integrity, and intelligence The moment you remove honesty from the choice of public men, you Id4sen the keynote of the arch of popular government. A man who will try to buy his way into office is unfit for that office, though he may have ability, training, experience and all else that goes to make up the best kind of an official. H'slack of in- tagnity alone ts enough to offset all the rest. After he had paid you to put him jim power, would you feel sure that he was using that power ‘to public advantage? You could not. \‘Wigure out the value of your vote on that basis and you will find that its worth is not to be estimated in terms of money. And that is the true bas's of its value. It tis part of the system on which American when somebody wants to buy it. Also, and remember this, it is what it ts worth when you throw it away by failing to go to the polls on elec- tion day. —Duluth Herald — ————< --- REAL GREATNESS. greatness which eliminates confl cis.
