This is a bad political • coodi ». It displays an apathy on the part of the minority voters that is unhealthy in a democracy. It indicates that because they think they have no opportunity to win, the opposition hasn't sufficient pride to make a fight. Such- a rituatior is bad for the majority party, for if it discovert that the opposition it too spiritfess to make a fight the leaders, are apt to put up unfit men for office and thj rank £«1 file, knowing that there is no opposition,
