ONE VOTE
Learn the value of one vote—your
own.
About 80 per cent of those who
read this didn't vote in the 1959 off-year
elections.
Some 58.5 per cent didn't make it
around to the voting booth in 1958.
Even in 1956, with the Presidency
at stake, around 40 per cent of you
didn't bother.
Nobody can force an American to
vote. It is his right to do so.
