PAGE FOUR THE -® An Editorial The idea is that every Am- erican not only has a right . 10. vote but an obligation to “inform himself and to ex- press his opinion. And, what- ever that considered opinion turns out to be, it is not was- ted. Does anyone have the au- dacity to say that roughly half of America wasted its vote in 1960 when the late John Kennedy squeeked through to a narrow election “win over Richard Nixon? We doubt it. ; What is happening is that the major candidates are -afraid that what now appears will be a heavy Wallace vote will upset the normal pattern of things and that possibly the election will be tossed into the House of Represen- tatives for decision. The truth is that the major- party candidates do not want people to cast a protest vote. They feel, and probably rightfully so, that the wave of Wallace sympathy can rise high enough to change things from the normal, usual, gen- erally accepted way of doing things. The fact is that hundreds of people are going to vote for Wallace as a protest a- gainst some of the things they see in government but do not like. In fact, some people are going to vote for Wallace despite the fact they agree wholeheartedly that Wallace would be a poor third choice as a president. But, to these people, a vote for Wallace is the only way the voter has of showing his protest. To say that the man who has a protest to make is wast- ing his vote is like saying that protest is wasted. The truth of the matter is that now is the time and place for a good solid, legal protestation. A protest at the ballot box is where protest should be made. Not on some bloody street with fists and nightsticks flying. From where we sit, it ap- pears that the American vo- ter is as fearful of Wallace as he was of Goldwater and, he knows that one of the other two candidates is a sure winner. But even now, eight years later, does any- one feel that everyone who voted for Goldwater wasted his vote? Those who did, re- member, were protesting — protesting the liberalism of the left. America will elect, this fall, either Richard Nixon or Hubert Humphrey because America is afraid of the ap- proach advocated by Wallace, the third-party candidate. But, there will be plenty of protest votes and they're not wasted. Until America is a one par- ty nation, no vote is wasted. + WEDDINGS :-- NEY — REYNOLDS Miss Harriet Reynolds, daughter of Harry E.
