And Yet They Vote
Recently a child returned from school and speaking to mother told her that the school had_ paid tribute to the memory of the late Lieut. A. G. Hultquist. "Who's Mr Hultquist?" avus the question put. The astonished child enlightened her mother, "Why, he was our Member of Parliament." "Oh, well what is Mr Barry then, I thought he was?" replied mother, very puzzled. And so we have at least one elector who did not know the difference between our M.P I . and our Mayor. Perhaps she doesn't know which party is in power or that there's a war on. And yet such have a vote !
