Main Bryan The Battalion The Editorial Policy of The Battalion Represents the Views of the Student Editors Battalion Editorials Page 2 THE BATTALION FRIDAY, OCTOBER 29, 1954 Some Ringing Phrases Every year at this time, newspapers have editorials lecturing people on going to vote. They say it is every citizen’s duty to vote and democracy hinges on the vote of the peo ple, and they use a lot of other ringing phrases. And most of this rolls off the backs of the citizens, because 60 to 70 per cent of the people don’t vote. But the stark facts are that the editor ials’ ringing phrases are true; they voice the principles that have made America a country so complacent in its democracy that its peo ple can think they don’t have to do anything themselV^g to assure that democracy. So once again, we join the other news papers of America in asking the citizens to vote—it is the citizen’s duty, and democracy hinges on the vote of the people. The citizen who is proud of his country and its form of government needs no more encouragement than this simple statement— the election will be next Tuesday.
