We all proclaim Americaii Democracy witk Rs manifold
privileges and blewingB,. but lum many of us give proper
thought to the obligations inherently imposed upon us as eiti-

to be good patriots in time of war and the equally important
obligation to do all in our power at aH times to place in re-
spoiwble posts in our governm^ oiriy honest, capable and
patriotic men and women. This can only be done if all persons
qualified to vote make the sm^l effort to see that their
names are enrolled for the pron^ee and* then to let nothing
