And for long the voter talked of those imperial traditions that our forefathers had made for us and which he should uphold with his vote, or else it was of a people oppressed by a feudal system that was out of date and effete, and that should be ended or mended. AND FOR LONG THE VOTER TALKED OF THOSE IMPERIAL TRADITIONS THAT OUR FOREFATHERS HAD MADE FOR US AND WHICH HE SHOULD UPHOLD WITH HIS VOTE OR ELSE IT WAS OF A PEOPLE OPPRESSED BY A FEUDAL SYSTEM THAT WAS OUT OF DATE AND OF FEAT AND THAT SHOULD BE ENDED OR MENDED
ently found a man whose face was hot, who shouted that the time was not far distant when a candidate, whom he named, would be returned at the head of the poll by a thumping majority. And by him the poet stopped and offered him a seat in the motor that was covered with flags. When the man saw the flags that were on the motor, and that it was the largest in the town, he got in. He said that his vote should be given for that fiscal system that had made us what we are, in order that the poor man's food should not be taxed to make the rich man richer. Or else it was that he would give his vote for that system of tariff reform which should unite us closer to our colonies with ties that should long endure, and give employment to all. But it was not to the polling-booth that the motor went, it passed it and left the town and came by a small white winding road to the very top of the downs. There the poet dismissed the car and let that wondering voter on to the grass and seated himself on a rug. GENCE AND HE PRESENTLY FOUND A MAN WHOSE FACE WAS HOT WHO SHOUTED THAT THE TIME WAS NOT FAR DISTANT WHEN A CANDIDATE WHOM HE NAMED WOULD BE RETURNED AT THE HEAD OF THE POLE BY A THUMPING MAJORITY AND BY HIM THE POET STOPPED AND OFFERED HIM A SEAT IN THE MOTOR THAT WAS COVERED WITH FLAGS WHEN THE MAN SAW THE FLAGS THAT WERE ON THE MOTOR AND THAT IT WAS THE LARGEST IN THE TOWN HE GOT IN HE SAID THAT HIS VOTE SHOULD BE GIVEN FOR THAT FISCAL SYSTEM THAT HAD MADE US WHAT WE ARE IN ORDER THAT THE POOR MAN'S FOOD SHOULD NOT BE TAXED TO MAKE THE RICH MAN RICHER OR ELSE IT WAS THAT HE WOULD GIVE HIS VOTE FOR THAT SYSTEM OF TARIFF REFORM WHICH SHOULD UNITE US CLOSER TO OUR COLONIES WITH TIES IT SHOULD LONG ENDURE AND GIVE EMPLOYMENT TO ALL BUT IT WAS NOT TO THE POLLING BOOTH THAT THE MOTOR WENT IT PASSED IT AND LEFT THE TOWN AND CAME BY A SMALL WHITE WINDING ROAD TO THE VERY TOP OF THE DOWNS THERE THE POET DISMISSED THE CAR AND LED THAT WANDERING VOTER ON TO THE GRASS AND SEATED HIMSELF ON A RUG
