AS-Lancaater Farming, Saturday, November 2, IM6 ma i Election Day Ogden Nash put it in well-rhymed verse in “Election Day is a Holiday” when he said, “They have such refined and delicate palates/That they can discover no one worthy of their ballots/And then when someone terrible gets elected/They say, ‘There, that’s just what I expected!”’ So what are you expecting? We hear a lot about voting for the lesser of two evils, or having no :hoice at the ballot box But wouldn’t it be better to offer a write-in candidate or make the best choice among fhe candidates than to stay home and do noth ing? Just reflect on the battles fought (women and Blacks, especially) to gain the right to vote. So speak your mind on November 5' Your every voter, as surely as your chief magistrate, exercises a public trust. bs- If you know you're going to be standing in line, bring a magazine or some mail to read.
