Butler County,s Action.

Hon. r. j. Lowe, chairman of the
State Democratic Executive Committee,
was asked II he had heard of the action
of the Butler County Democratic Execu-
tive Committee Monday in Letting down
the bars" which the State Committee
had put up. He replied:
IF / am correctly informed the But
Ter County committee has practically
nullified the action of the State Execu-
tive Committee in prescribing the quail
fications for voters. The power of the
State Committee to prescribe uniform
qualifications for voters is unquestloned
and is sanctioned by the written law Of
the party as well as by custom for many
years.
"a county committee has no right to
prescribe qualifications for voters in a
general State primary different from
those prescribed by the State Commit
tee, and the effort to do so can only lead
to confusion.
"It would be manifestly unfair to
allow Populists to vote in Butler County
and to deny Populists in other counties
