Information has come to The. Jour
Dai that an effort Js being made, by
pernotis interested in certain - candi
dalen. to make the ru-wly chfranchlaed
women voter and young men wno are
voting thin yar for the f irHt-ltme, be
lieve that they will be violating ajaw
If they'do not vote as they are registered.-
Thin la one of the most palpable at
tempts to Impose upon the lnexpericn-j
of new voters that has come to light
in a long time.
l'arty reglstratfon, has nothing what
ever to do with) the voting at the gen
eral election: 1 1 applicB only to the
primary nominating election. In the
primary election only registered mem
ber8 of a party are permitted to "par
ticipate In the nomination of that
party's candidates.
But in the general emotion the names
of all the ennd'tdates of ull parties and
independent candidates are- upon the
tame ballot, and the voter is supposed
to choose the men1 or women he wants,
to servTin puhllu office, according to
his ideasSrf" the fitness of the ones
he selects.
It is not a question of how voter is
registered. The question for the vot-?r
1st Who are the best men for office?
It is not a question of what party
label the various candidates bear. The
question for the voter is: Which, of the
candidates will best serve the interests
of the peoplo of the state?
The voter has the entire list of can
didates of all parties to choose from.
Any attempt to make new voters be
lieve they ure required to vote the
ticket of the party with wliich they are
registered is .a palpable fraud. The
whole purpose of the Australian' form
of ballot, which is used here. Is to
allow a voter to get away from such
partisan restraint. c
