The citizen who does not vote is becoming more of a problem in this country than the negro, or the men of any special race, Recently Omaba, following an ex- citing campaign of ‘education in favor of commission government, found that out of 17,000 registered voters, only 86 cast their ballots. Five thousand three hundred and forty-one of these voted for the commission plan and it was carried. That is to say, less than one-third of the electorate decided for the city the most important proposi- tion which has come before it in re- cent years. The Portland Express says with ref- erence to indifference in that state the st Monday in September: “While the recent election in Maige was on an issue that directly or in- directly affected every man, woman and child in the state, the vote was probably 25,000 to 30,000 less than it should have been. Unquestionably, | these delinquent citizens were in the rural districts where the farmers and | their employes were busy in the har- | vest fields. Had they turned out as they should have the ‘No' predomi- | nance would have been so marked that vould have been no chance for present state of affair: vill be remembered that when ernor Baldwin was elected, at least n the state of Connec- v from the polls and indifferent to results. be done to bring out a important questions is ious question in all country.
