Show iTHE REAL POWER OF A SINGLE VOTE It is a common remark that a vote more or less don't make much difference Many get the idea that they have no say because their voices are not heard in the law making bodies. This idea is all wrong. Let us see: There is a United States senator to elect. He is elected by the two houses of the state legislature. The legislature is elected by the people. A single vote either way may elect or defeat a candidate for either senator or representative. When the vote on the senator comes the member you elected by the bare margin of one vote may have the deciding vote as to who shall be the senator. In this way you can see that the vote was yours. When the senator is elected he has his say in all the important affairs of the government. Of course, it is not often that one vote decides an issue, but haven't you had your say just the same when your representative gets the desired result without opposition or without a strug gle? Every vote counts and chere is a senator to elect. You have a chance to say by your ballot who he shall be. If you want to send a republican senator to Congress a vote for G. A. Iverson for senator and Wm. J. Seely for representative rep-resentative will help accomplish that result. If you prefer a democrat a vote against these men will help elect one. The election of a U. S. senator is always an important matter. They hold office for six years and their actions determine the standing of the state in the councils of the nation. A member of the dominant party can always accomplish more than one'who is in the minority. Therefore a republican repub-lican can do more for Utah than a democrat dem-ocrat could hope to. If you want your state to get things you had better deposit de-posit a vote for Iveron and Seely. |
