MALLORY TALKS
ON REGISTERING
THINKS THE REGISTRARS OF
MONTGOMERY COUNTY HAVE
NO RIGHT TO MEET AND EN-
ROLL flames BEFORE ELECTION

Selma. March Especial 1.-THE discus
sion among some of the registrars Oh
Dallas county of following the proposed
plan of the registrars of Montgomery
county which is to meet and enroll the
names of electors having certificates Is
sued in another county, called forth a
visit of the Age-Herald's representative
to the Hon. H. s. p. Mallory, recog-
nized lawyer of ability and chairman OF
the state democratic executive commit
tee. Mr. Mallory is strongly of the opin-
ion that there is no authority for such
proposed action and said that it might
lead to some innocent person being ar
rested for Illegal voting.
THE law" said Mr.. Mallory, states
that any elector who registered prior to
January l, 1903, who has changed the
county of his residence shall be register
ed ON application on production of his
certificate unless he has since become dis
qualified. 1t says nothing about enroll
ment. The board of registrars could not
lawfully register person who though he
held registration certificate from one
county, had committed one of the crimes
for which disqualification is provided
since January l. 1908 therefore what au-
thorty in law have they for meeting to
register anybody until July?
Again" continued Mr.. Mallory, what
authority has the probate judge to add
to the list that he is to deliver to the in
spectors preceding the election any
names handed him by three persons sit
ting without authority of law. In my
opinion any three citizens would have the
same right to meet and place other names
upon the registration list as the three ap-
pointed registrars. The latter acting out
of term time as it were have no more
authority to meet and perform their
duties than a eric ait judge has to begin
the regular term Of his court some weeks

AS a matter Of fact the democratic NOM
inees of the county only received 1879
votes In the general election held in Mo-
vember, 1902, whereas the registered vote
of this county Is upwards of 5000, only
about 400 of which is republican. So that
the enforcement of this rule would result
in the practical Acknowledgement of about
two-thirds of the democrats of the county
Again, rule 10 of the county committee
provides In part that mo challenged
vote shall be counted by any inspectors
of the election" This, the professors
claim, is In violation of rule of the
state executive committee, which says:
said primary election shall be held and
in all respects conducted under. and in
pursuance of the primary election law
of the state and the general election
laws, except as may be herein otherwise
provide The general election law, which
requires that challenged votes shall be
received and counted when the party
challenged takes the oath prescribed by
vision was made by the state committee.
The third ground of objection to the
rules of the county committee is that rule
10 provides that the Inspectors shall dis
tribute the tickets only to qualified cleo
tors.
The professors claim that this rule II
enforced would debar a defeated candi-
date from the right to contest. provided
BY the laws of the state. for the reason
that a party arbitrarily refused a ballot
could not offer to vote and could not
therefore even get on the challenged list.
