MANY FRIENDS
ELECTION DAY
Today is the merry election day,
when every man in town is popular
and the women, who are popular all
the time, have a shade more of
that commodity just before they cast
the fateful ballot. It’s a funny thing
about election day. People who go
around with a grouch on all the year
round, open up and smile on election
day. Every one is either running for
office or lias a friend who is, and they
all want a vote. Another peculiarity
about an tlect’on is the fact that both
sides have a safe lead as soon as the
first vote is cast and are surprised at
their strength. Both sides are agreea
bly surprised at the support that they
are getting from quarters which until
today they had conceded to the oppo
sition, and both sides are holding back
their strength until late in the after
noon. Leaders of both sides will tell
you that they have made no effort to
get votes, but that they are in the
hands of their friends and if the peo
ple want them they are willing to take
hold and do the best they can, but per
sonally they would rather be out of it.
Still they show a surprising lot of in
terest in the way everybody is voting,
and will tell you on the quiet that they
abhor and despLe the methods that
have been used by the opposition, and
that they can’t see why people can’t
j stick to the truth in a matter of a lit
tle election like this. Tonight one
side or the other will be pondering
over the number of good single handed
liars that are harbored in this com
munity, and tomorrow enough voters
to have elected each one of the de
feated candidates will be on hand with
the gladsome handshake to assure the
beaten one that at least he voted fur
him, even if he was defeated. And
such is the merry game of election.
