1898- The Advertiser and the Daily Press

I totally agree with the paragraph in this reading that says "We have not yet hit on the best plan of getting at public opinion. Elections at best tell us only what half the people are thinking; for no party nowadays wins an electoral victory by much over half the voters". When it comes time to vote everyone clearly does not vote, either they just dont care or for other reasons. This is exactly why people get cheated on in the election. The things that are written in the press is often times not the truth, but its what the readers approve to be posted.
