We shave received several communications, one
now before Us from soldier, propoundlng the in
quiry whether soldiers can vote. and whether any
steps have been taken to give them the opportu-
nifty to do So The same inquiries have been ad
dressed to the officers OF State. The lndianapo-
liz Journal wered these inquiries few weeks
ago. and as it probably represented the opinion
entertained by the State officials upon the sub
ject. reproduce it a response to the inquiries
made of Us:
lFrom the indianapolis Journal. August IL, IsGe-l
SOLDIERS orING.-We have received and pub
shed several letters suggesting that steps be la
ken allow the soldiers from this State vote
the coming election and the officers of this State
have received hundreds Of a similar character.
As an answer TO all. NAV say that in the opn-
ion of the best lawyers of the State, such meas
ure can be constitutonally adopted The ID sec
ton OF the 81 article of the State Constitution
provides that all persons entitled to vote shall
''cofe ia the foicnshp in irhich they reside Sol
diers in the field in the camp can not comply
with this provision, and As it is in the Constitu
tion the Legislature not set 1t aside, nor the
Executive make any order to evade it. Pennsyl-
wanna adopted such measure last year, and the
decided il unconstitutional and aside the
vote OF the soldiers thus putting out of Office on
or two men who had got in by very handsome ma
jorities- The courts here would doubtless do so
too, aud we can't well see how they could do
otherwise Besides the introduction of partisan
differences into the army, the canvassing for can
didates and the revival of old party feelings, is a
measure of very questionable utility.
All citizens of Indiana who volunteer are
otherwise engaged in the military service Of the
State or the United States are entitled in the
language of the Constitution. to vote il the town
ship or precinct where they may reside, but they
can only vote in the township or precinct where
they resided the time they volunteered or other
wise entered upon said service. They can not
acquire residence in any other township or pre-
cinct while soldier in the service Of the State
or Federal Government by reason of having been
stationed within the same. Neither sol
der, seaman marine, in the army navy oil
the United States. acquire residence in the
State. in consequence of having been stationed
within the sane, and consequently such sol
der seaman or marine has the right To vote
These are the constitutional provisions on the
right OF vosing. and we state them so that there
may be no misapprehension upon the subject and
in reply to the inquiries made OF Us in reference
thereto.
