Chapman, editor of the Oregon Voter: I was deeply Impressed by your ed­ itorial stating, in effect, that a citi­ zen has no right alter registering as a republican to go to the polls and vote for a democrat for President and United States Senator. Supposing, however, that a citizen as been in the habit of voting for a Republican for President and repub­ lican for United states Senator, and if he believes in the principle of the Republican party, especially as con­ trasted with the principle of the Democratic party, has such a citi­ zen a right to register as a republi­ can and if, after registering as a republican, he concludes it is his duty as a citizen, to vote for the d< ni- i ocrallc candidate for president and a democratic candidate for United States Senator, did he commit per­ jury. or did lie do wrong in any sense of the word at the time he reg­ istered as a republican? Also, supposing a citizen, who for years has registered as a republican because of his belief in the principle of the republican party,, has also on occasions voted for a democratic can- i didate for president and a democrat­ ic candidate tor United States Sena­ tor, is such a citizen doing wrong in registering as a republican? Supposing a citizen, believing in the principle of the republican party and intending to vole for the repub­ lican nominee for United States Sen­ ior. does ills intent in the latter re­ gard disqualify him from register­ ing as a republican? Your discussion of the foregoing in your accustomed lucid style, will be very much appreciated by hiyself a; one of the regular and attentive reader of your "Snap Shot” column. election in ’.’g< • (X ()• ■<>• ■<)• O __>o<_ ;2— Having taken this oath and affil­ must concede their honesty.
