The Columbus weekly dispatch. (Columbus, Miss.) 1902-1905, 1903-04-09

The view expressed by THE
DISPATCH that the ruling of the
Attorney General that a man had
to be registered four months be
fore the August primary to be
qualified voter in that primary
would force counties where new
registration had been ordered to
use the old registration books is
borne out by the Attorney-G Gen
eral in an opinion given out the
past week in which he states
that it is the duty of the election
com missioner to place on the poll
books the names of all qualified
electors whether they are regis
tered on the old or the new reg
istration This will simplify the
in this county very
much, and save a large mum Der
of the people the necessity of re
registering.

The topic Of discussion in the
State press the past week has
been the remarkable opinion de
livered last week by Attorney
General Williams on the regis
tration question 1T has been
shown that the Attorney -Gener-
ais opinions are merely advisory
they are not binding and in this
deliverance this opinion was not
even an official one. The Attor-
ney General must have realized
that he had made a legal slip for
he quickly gave counties which
had ordered a new registration a
getting out place" by stating
that old registrations could be
used in the August election But
the feature Of his ruling which
attracted most discussion and
CRITICS N was his applica-
ton of constitutional provisions

conclusively the error Of the At
torney- Generals contention and
Senator Noel, author of the pri-
mary law. Is Of the same opinion,
In some counties the ruling
caused the registrars to begin
operations instanter, but in a
great many counties the opinion
was ignored There seems to be
no doubt but that citizens who
are qualified electors in an cleo
ton are qualified to vote in the
primary to make nominations for
that election and the party au-
thorities in this State should so
hold
