Show SPEAk'uP! Almost every other person you meet today is grumbling' about some-thins: some-thins: connected with government and almost every other man or woman ' you meet neglected to vote on last Presidential Election Day. Often you hear them say, "What's the use of voting-? My vote won't change the result." Many of the men and women who should have cast their ballots in 1921 must have talked talk-ed like that, for only 52 percent of mem vo'ed. America has faced many crises. She has made laws, amended laws, abolished laws. She has kept step with changing world conditions. But many old problems remain unsolved. New ones will arise.

And the way to exercise it is through your vote. Do not neglect it. By 'ailing to vote, you offer en-:f en-:f merit to the political plundered! plunder-ed! other unscrupulous persons -.;.. are can or to profit by the op-o: op-o: '.unity you give them. Only by voting can the majority of Americans holding like opinions dictate their wishes and save themselves from the danger of being governed by a minority min-ority holding opposite opinions. Your next President will not be a despot or a dictator. He will not make or unmake laws, but he has great power and influence and will go into office bound to use them to bring about the kind of government wanted by those who elected him. Once in four years you are called upon to vote for a President and thereby help to solve great problems. Let no private affairs prevent you from doing your duty to your country on Election Day. Be a good citizen. Go to the polls on November 6th and vote. Metropolitan Metro-politan Life Insurance Co. |
