Show Why Didn't You Vote? Why did so few voters take part in this week's primary election? , A number of reasons can be advanced but one stands out above all others plain apathy. Non partisan city elections lack the ballyhoo and competition competi-tion of partisan elections. It is hard to stir up interest in a campaign cam-paign that is restricted to handbills and a few candidates appearing appear-ing before women's clubs. Voters won't take much interest in popularity contests. They want something to choose between when they mark their ballots. Two weeks from now they will have just that chance when asked to vote on the so-called "home rule" question. But unless both proponents and opponents of "home rule" get busy and let the voters know what it is all about this imporant issue likely 3. will be decided by a minority. oOo |
