VOTE
At a meeting of the Pocahontas County Democratic Executive Committee, the following resolution was adopted:
“It is apparent at this time that the voters of Pocahontas County are showing a considerable degree of apathy regarding the November 2, 1976 election. We earnestly urge every registered voter within the county to go to the polls that day and vote for the candidates of their choice. This is one privilege we still have and if the present trend continues, we could lose same at some future date. If you don’t want the minority to rule, VOTE on November 2nd.
