In 1896, 79 per cent of the eligible voters showed up at the polls, but the sorry fact is that only 44 per cent of those registered voted in 1950, an all-tme low, he added. Utah is one of three states in the Union in which dealers will not be allowed by law to heed the National Automobile Dealers Association As-sociation suggestion to provide free non-partisan transportation to the polls for any citizen who requests same. In this state, it is illegal for any organized transportation trans-portation of voters to the polls, even though there is no attempt to influence the indivduals, Strong pointed out. Sugar House Ford dealer, Petty Motor Company, and Hudson dealers, deal-ers, L. H. Strong Company, and Harry Luff are enthusiastically supporting the voting drive. |
