County Farm Bureau Head Urges Heavy Turn-Out At Fall Election

Pointing to the fact that only 62, percen 1 of the eligible voters actually voted in the 1940 presidential election. Delmore Wechter, president of the Adams county farm bureau, today Issued a statement urging a heavy turn-out at the' polls on November 7. “I* Is our duty, not only as rural' and small-town citizens, but as Americans,’’ said Mr Wechter. "Vot-, Ing is a right-a privilege —for which our sons and brothers are fighting in many parts of the world today. It Is our duty to them and ’ to ourselves to vote in this nation-1 al election when so many criclal| issues are at stake." Mr. Wechter’s statement came in response to an appeal from the American farm bureau federation: highly organized nation. It needs coal and food from outside. It 1 needs to operate railroads aud trucks and to be active. The people are industrious and will waut to reutrn to normal life and they are nut revolutionists as the people in other countries of Europe are. As winter approaches they realize the danger and they want the whr settled so they can live. When the Siegfriend line is destroyed aud the armies routed. It is believed a government of the people will be organized and will function.

I which wax sent l»y Hassil E. Schenck, president of the Indiana Farm Bureau. Inc. to presidents of all county organizations. The farm bureau federation is now carrying on ,i nation wide campaign, strictly ' non-partisan, urging rural America: I to vote in the November elections., Farmers and citizens of small ■ ' towns can have a powerful voice in : governmental affairs through their, representatives If they will get out and vote for the men of their | choice, according to Mr. Wechter.. ' He added that rural people have | the power to infiueuce national ■ politics if they will only use It. He called at'entlon to the fact that 77 perceat of the senators aud 62 : fercent of the congressmen come from districts which have no cities ' of mure than lo.oon population and hence are predominantly rural. He said, however, that if rural Amer- , tea stayed at home on elec'ion day and the big city vote turned out lull strength, rural people would have an ever harder time from then on making their wishes heard. Mr. Wechter said that an appeal for farmers to vo*e In the coming ele-iion was stirringly made hy Edward A. O'Neal, president of the American farm bureau federation. in a recent address. Mr. O'- , Neal said: "I know the farmer has an obligation to get his crops in al the - proper Mme. but I also know tha* . he lias a duty that transcends even the obligation to produce, and that is to contribute to good governmen*

by exercising his right to vote. Leave your plow, leave your cow. leave your sow. and go to the polls in what is one of the most precious rights and privileges that we enjoy under our democratic form of government In my opinion, farm people carry a greater responsibility for the preservation of our great tradition of democracy than :-.ny other group." In his statement. Mr. Wechter •aid that although farm bureau members, like everyone else, are busy a*, thia Hine, they and Ml other rural citizens can take off the necessary hour or two that voting requires. "We should remember," he said, "that our boys in the armed services mm* giving the best years of their lives to defense of their country. They were no' too busy when the call cam*. We cannot and we will not be 100 buay to vote. We should, everyone of us. go to thp pull* November 7 and thereby act as share-holder* In America.
