Editorial:
Let's All Go Vote
-This is a presidential election year. It is America's
Bicentennial year. As we head toward the general election
in November, let's make it an election that will let the world '
know Americans value their freedoms.
Thr American Legion again this year is participating in
the "Get Out the Vote" campaign. The Legion has been on
record since 1920 urging all Legionnaires to exercise their
patriotic duty. . -
But the Legion has found, just as the candidates have, it's
a tough task getting Americans to exercise their right to
vote, particularly during presidential election years.
Inquiring into this dilemma, all kinds of explanations are
offered, but none of the excuses offered stand up under
analysis. One vote, for example, can decide an election and
frequently has. ,
President Harry TrUman won the 1948 election, but would
have lost if he had not carried California and Ohio, and he
did that by less than one vote per precinct. In the same
year, Texas sent Lyndon Johnson to the Senate by a majori
ty of only 87 votes. In the 1960 presidential election, the late
John F, Kennedy defeated Richard Nixon for the highest of-'
fice in the land by a hairline margin, averaging less than
one vote per precinct. That year there were 166,137 election
precincts in the United States, and his plurality was only
118,550. If some of those people who thought their vote
wouldn't count, had voted, the results of these elections
, might have been different.
This is America ... and we live the American way of life.
But unfortunately one of the frailties of human nature is to
, take for granted the blessings that are given to us. Perhaps,
as Legionnaires, we value them more. The American
Legion is made up of nearly three million war-tested
veterans who value freedom because we have experienced .
the hardships and pain Of having to fight for it. -t.' .
We as Legionnaires should gladly assume the obligation '
. of helping to point out the way all Americans can safeguard
' that freedom now. That one way is the way to the polls in the ,
upcoming general election which is now less than a week
away. - .

Commissioners Discuss
The Perquimans County
Board of Commissioners
held their regular meeting
on Oct. 19, one day later
than usual due to schedule
conflicts.
The board approved send

97 More Democrats
Register In County
RALEIGH - As a result
of a pre-election registration
drive, the number of
registered democrats in
Perquimans County has
increased by 97 according to
Estelle Felton of Hertford,
Chairman of the County
Democratic Executive
Committee.
Ms. Felton noted that the
effort in Perquimans County
was part of a statewide
voter registration effort
organized by the
Democratic Party.
According to State
Democratic Executive Com
mittee Chairman Betty Mc
Cain, "We are very proud
of the results of our registra
tion drive and of the role
played by Democrats in
increasing voter
participation."
Mrs. McCain noted that an
increase of almost 75,000
Democrats has been
reported in North Carolina
as a result of the drive.
"Of course, voter
registration is only part of
our total effort," she added.
"We have also undertaken a
has been done in the past.
Also, chairman Lester
Simpson presented a letter
to the board from the
Department of transporta
tion requesting approval for
an addition to the muddy
creek road and to take in
nine streets in the Snug Har
bor area to add on to the ex
major effort to facilitate
absentee voting, to explain
the complexities of voting
and to actually 'get out the
vote'."
Two "complexities" of
particular importance, ac
cording to Mrs. McCain, are
the special Presidential
Referendum (PR) Ballot
and the necessity of pulling
two levers on voting
machines in order to "vote
the straight Democratic
. ticket."
The "PR" ballot allows
those who are residents of a
county but not registered to
vote to cast ballots in the
Presidential Race.
Applications for PR
Ballots must be completed
by Oct. 27 and the ballots
returned to the county
