History You Can't Get From A Book

 

From an interview with James Graham, Lake Midway
Q.What do you remember about elections?
A.Seeing three or four people intoxicated probably. This always seemed to happen back when I was a younger fella. They, the different parties had a, and a lot of people, some of them, they wouldn’t go vote unless they could get a pint or something. Some women wouldn’t go with out a box of chocolates so a lot of the fellas that wanted a pint, they’d get intoxicated or partly intoxicated and probably get in an argument over who was going to win, who should win. That, I was never much enthused over politics. I’ve always voted but that’s as far as it went. I didn’t want no part of it because it’s a mixed up game and I think still today that most of them are there for what money they can make and not for the good of the people.
