' The total vote of York county
last Tuesday was only 2,997,
against 4,103 two years ago?
a fall off of 1,126 votes. The fall
off is due in part to the absence j

and in part to apathy about
things political. It is also very
well to remember, however, that
with a larger number of contests
for the different offices and contests
for magistrates and super- ]
visors in the different townships
there would very prnbablv have
heen at least five hundred more
votes..
