In the last Presidential election, 22 per cent of the quali­fied citizens of Cattaraugus County failed to vote . In Al legany County it was e v e n worse wi th 27 per cent of the residents there failing to go to the polls. A s a result, Cat­taraugus and Al legany counties were the worst citizen-slacker counties in the state in the matter of exercising their franchise. Downstate only four and five per cent failed to vote.

What are w e going to d o about this situation this year? Are w e going to stand idly by and see our county stay in this same slacker class again on Tuesday or are w e going to do something about it?

How simple a matter it would be for all residents of this county, first to make sure to vote themselves and then make sure their next door neighbor gets to the polls, if physically able. If this practice was carried out to com­pletion, Cattaraugus County would roll up the biggest vote ever recorded in its history.

Just because our county is so overwhelmingly Repub­lican, voters may have the delusion that their votes are not needed. They fail to realize in a close e lect ion even the votes in their l ittle township might swing the national election. For example, as the Cuba Patriot, points out, "in 1884, Grover Cleveland won the election b y carrying N e w York State.i. . . . . .and he carried it by a m e r e 1200 votes. Thus it is obvious that the vo te of even a low-population area may swing N e w York State , which, w i th the highest number of electoral votes, is pivotal in the Union."
