But when it comes to the day
of the general election and offi
cers are to be chosen to fill local
and general positions, every ac
credited citizen qualified to vote
has the right to cast such a bal
lot as he desires, and no one has
any authority to tell him who
shall be the selections on his
ticket. At the polls all political
and party authority ceases ex
cept such as is of a friendly or
advisory character, and all such
is at the option of the voter.
It is well for political manag
ers, to realize that while they
might offer a show of compul
sion in regard to voters, the
thing would have such a reaction
in the ultimate that it would be
suicidal. The way to hold the
voter is to nominate candidates
who are acceptible to him, and
then gain support through pop
ular approval. Any attempt to
drive the voter to the polls and
force him to vote for any name
he does not favor is to disrupt
the party organization, and will
never work with American free
men.
