Consider Key West’s registration of 6,854. How many of those qualified voters their ballots tomorrow? The number may 1,500 or possibly 2,000. Americans talk more about the “free ballot” about it than other nationals the We still have fresh in mind the 1948 presidential electio opposed Truman, The Republicans thousands of stump speakers who con rs to go to the polls. The last wee of the campaigning was among the most intense this « ry has witnessed, with the air bristling with charges an counter-charges. And yet only 54 percent of the qualifie: to vote cast their ballots. England went through a quiet campaign that culm nated in an election 11 days ago. The campaign had litt! of the ballyhooing that characterizes election contests i the United States. But 82 percent of the Britons qualifie: to vote east their ballots If you tried to stop the many Key Westers who wil not vote tomorrow from exercising that privilege, would loudly protest that they were being robbed of thei rights as American citizens.. And yet they robbed themselves of that right. Why does a man or woman, go to the trouble to ré ister and then not do the really woxthwhile thing Illness plays an exceedingly small part in keeping voter away from the polls. The nearest approach to the reasor so far as The Citizen can determine, that keeps a qual “inalienable import, anc record-breaking will run to as higl not cas and d¢ in world any when Dewey anc Democrats used stantly urged the vote the complace vote tied voter from bothering to vote, is that saying so fre quently heard, “It won’t make much difference if I don vote; I'm only one.” When a man or a woman says that, he or she doe not realize that the total vote is composed of ‘‘ones” and that if everybody took the same view, be cast. no vote woul A man does not have to be an experienced poli tician to know how important it is to get out the vote, onc by one. As Key Westers, interested in promoting the welfarc of our city, let us strive tomorzow to break up that smug ness among a large segment of ‘Americans: itiasisting o: registering and persisting on not voting. We have. set’ record-breaking registration; let us set tomorrow a re« ord-breaking percentage of that registration in ballot cast. The Citizen appeals to every Key Wester on the qualified list to do his duty tomorrow—vote! When Congress gets around to corporation taxes there is a lot of sympathy that comes to the surface.

I know I’m often accused of be ing a pessimist anc a_ chronic griper. Some say I’m a coward. If it’s cowardice not to want to lose all the ethieal concepts that lifted mankind above the beasts, that permitted a portion of us to rise still higher through the found- ing of these United States—if this is cowardice, I’m guilty. Naturally, I’m proud of our country and of our town. I’m anxi- ous to see both grow. But prosper. ity must never be allowed to be our predominant aim. Space ig short.
