PAGE USE THIS HANDY ACTION AD BLANK 150 Million Voters The Founding Fathers the learned, more than the ignorant; not the haughty would be astonished to learn that 150,041,000 Americans will be eligible to vote in the heirs of distinguished names, more than the humble sons of obscure and unpropitious fortune. The electors are to be the great Presidential election this November. At the Nation's beginning that wasn't the idea at all giving the vote to every man. Let alone to women, blacks, and citizens only 18 years old. The way they saw it when George Washington was President, a man had to "have a stake in society" to have a say in choosing the new nation's leaders. He had to own property or prove he body of the people of the United States."

Some, like the Federalist Gazette of Annapolis, lelt there was cause of alarm : "Tiit- - liuih is," .Ltiu the paper on August 9, 1800, "the people of Maryland have become too saucy and are really beginning to fancy themselves equal to their paid taxes, the National Geographic Society says. And he had to be "free, white, and 21". Nobody gave a second thought about letting women vote. The brand new Constitution said nothing about voting rights, only that it was up to the States to decide. superiors." After a Presidential recep- tion, Martha Washington blamed greasy handprints on the wallpaper on unin- vited "filthy democrats." As more got the vote, citified NOW, FIVE amendments to the Constitution later, election day in the United States finally measures up to the way Alexander Hamilton and James Madison theorized things should be, writing in the Federalist Papers in the early 1800s. "Who are the electors of Americans joked over enfranchising "bipeds of the forest" and slurred the new "coonskin Congressmen" at the Capitol. BY THE CIVIL War, universal male suffrage was the federal representatives?" they asked. "Not the the law, except for slaves.

Their muskets persuaded the election judges otherwise. , Despite the Emancipation Proclamation, blacks were not enfranchised until the 15th Amendment was ratified in 1870. Then five years later Tennessee enacted the first Jim Crow law separating blacks and whites in public places, and in 1890 poll taxes and literacy tests were enacted to disfranchise thousands of blacks. The 24th Amendment finally banned the poll tax in 1964. Women got the vote in 1869 in the Wyoming Territory. Elsewhere the suffragettes, as they were soon calling themselves, began their long battle for enfranchisement. m m mm momm k CACHE REGISTER PRESTON CITIZEN PRESTON, IDAHO IDAHO SMITHFIEL0, NEWS EXAMINER UTAH start .

In 1910 a suffragette was "one who has ceased to be a lady and has not yet become a gentle- man." In 1920 women won the vote with 19th Amendment and a comment: "The greatest thing that came out of the war (World War I) was the emancipation of women, for which no man fought." The 23rd Amendment enfranchised citizens of the District of Columbia in 1961, and, 10 years later, the 26th Amendment lowered the voting age to 18. Today people of American territories or the Common-- ) wealth of Puerto Rico cannot yet vote in Presidential elections. The eligible electorate in is November 150,041,000 nearly 10 million more than the voting age population at the time of the 1972 Presidential election, according to the Census Bureau. . AT FIRST Presidential elections were held on different days from one state to the next. But in 1845 Congress decided on the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November for Presidential election day, and that is when, it has been ever since. rjrjrrjgi ammmm 8.
