Now Registration.
Editor Virginian-Pllot:

Editor Virginian-Pi
Your editorial i'll yesterdays issue
on this above subject, among other
timely suggestions, mentions the cleo
toral board as one of the mediums
through which means might be devised
of satisfying the Democratic voters of
this city. that there will be an honest
ballot and = fair count" Reluctant as
L am to appear in public print, / do so
in order that the impression may not
be made upon The minds OF our people
that the City Electoral Board, appoint
ed by the Legislature, is the same
Electoral Board that appoints the
Judges for the primary election. 1t is
not. One is appointed by the Legisla-
ture. the other is appointed by the can
didateS themselves by 4 two-thrds vote
at a meeting held. in accordance with
the provisions of the primary election
law. The City Electoral Board, of
which L am chairman. has nothing
whatever TO do with primary elections.
AS to providing for new registration,
am of the opinion that the law does
not give the City Electoral Board pow
er TO do so, except as follows: (Sec-
ton Il, Code Of Va, 1850 The said cleo
toral boards shall provide for a new
registration of votes for any election
district of their respective counties and
cities. whenever. in their opinion the
same may have become necessary by
reason of the loss or destruction of the
registration books, or when said books
are SO mutilated, blotted, defaccd, or
otherwise in such condition as to ron
der it difficult, troublesome or unsafe
10 use them longer, etc.
or the Electoral Board can order the
books copied.
Less than two years ago the books
were newly copied. To-day they are
in excellent physical condition. At n
meeting OF the Electoral Board. called
at the suggestion of the Good Govern
ment League Committee, held recently
it was argued that the word "other-
wise" in above section of the code gave
the board the power to order n new
registration. because there were names
of persons on The books who had died
and who had left the city. In response
thereto I contend. and am still of the
same opinion, that the law specifically
provided remedies (undcr sections 30
and SIC OF the Code OF Va. 1851 there
for and that the Legislature never in
tended to imply otherwise when it had
specifically made provision on n sub
ject. If The clerk OF the court fur
nishcs q. list of the dead as the law
prescribcs. the registrars are compelled
to erase the names OH said list from the
registration books. and names Of dcnd
persons cannot be erased unless Off
cially done.
AS THE LAW DIRECTS.
AS to the names OF persons who have
left the city the law provides for purg-
ing the registration books; ana the reg
istrar dare not erase a PERSONS name
unless it is done as the law provides
Those remedies are as lawful now as
they have been In the past.
Neither the City Democratic Execu-
tive Committee or the City Electoral
Board have anything more to do with
the primary election than any other
citizen or citizens. Therefore, I
hope you will impress it upon the
minds of the people that this is so.
Respectfully,
