By all odds, the coming election elec-tion figures to be one of the closest races in the century. And, coming as it docs at a time of excitement and challenge, a time of grave crisis at home and abroad, it could well prove to be the most important election of our lifetime. Sure it must come as a shock, then, to realize that in all likelihood like-lihood almost half of the citizens citi-zens of the world's greatest democracy de-mocracy won't even bother to go to the polls on November 8th. Thi3 i3 no idle guess; it is based on vivid, disgraceful fact. 1952 saw the greatest percentage percent-age of American voters in history his-tory flock to the polls and then it was only, 62.7! And in the 1948 election the closest clos-est race of our time only 51.5 of the population of voting vot-ing age saw fit to use their franchise. These were presidential presiden-tial contests. In off-year elections, elec-tions, almost no one bothers! Who are all these "non-voters"? Thoy arent outsiders or castoffs or "beatniks"; not most of them anyway. They are the nice, solid, friendly, comfortable people next door. They are the housewives who leave politics to their husbands; the men who are "too busy" to worry about politics. After all, what is one vote in a hundred million ? They are the people who switched channels to avoid thinking about its issues. They are your friends and business associates. They are the shirkers, parasites who reap the advantages of living in a democracy, without accepting their responsibility for making democracy work and not giving anything in return. Democracy won't work by itself. it-self. It needs people who believe in it; people who are willing to work at it. Because, far from being simple, democracy is the most complex and difficult form of government ever devised by' man. But, as we all know, it is also the best. Let's keep it that way. We feel proud of our liberties liber-ties we feel we are better off than the great number of people throughout the world who- have no choice or voice about who shall be elected to the unshakable unshak-able officialdom which governs them, yet ironically, here only about 50 of our freedom fighters bother to cast their ballots. The whole world will be watching us in November, watching to see democracy in action. Let's show them what it means to live in America. Let's vote. MRS.

"Bill" Barlocker in the primary election in his OWN HOME COUNTY. Support like this is positive proof of the high esteem in which he is held by his friends and neighbors who have known and worked with him all of his life. THESE ARE STATEMENTS MR. CLYDE CANNOT MATCH! People who know Bill Barlocker personally are supporting him because they know he has the respectibility, dignity and executive ability so greatly needed today in the high office of governor. Utah needs the leadership of a proven business executive who will apply sound business practices to all phases of state government and thereby assure a "full dollar's value for every tax dollar spent." Bill Barlocker has over 20 years of successful business busi-ness experience. Compare the ability and accomplishments of the two candidates and there will be no doubt in your mind that Bill Barlocker's qualifications far exceed those of his opponent!
