Election .day is just around the
corner. It is at duty of the first im-
portance to record year vote. In
Great Britain millions agitated for
years, against bitter .odds, to secure
the franchise, because they recogniz-
ed that it was only through parlia-

Canadians have not had that pain-

this is the reason why so many - vot-

duty and privilege to direct the des,

rests the responsibility of the legis-
