An Error Corrected.

The Press desires to correct its
error made in the issue Of May II
regarding the matter Of the re-
publicaus seeking u voice in the
election of county officers. The
Press in the aforesaid issue stated
that the republicans of Tom
Green county sought to have II
voice in the democratic primaries
which is incorrect as is shown in
the communication of Mr.. Geo.
Richardson Republican County
Chairman to Mr.. NJ. b. Pullam,
Democratic County Chairman.
This is the letter and is fully eX-
planatory of the proposition:
San Angelo, May I, 1904.
Hon. M. b. Pulliam, Chairman
Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Tom Green County,
San Angelo, Texas.
Dear Sir:-For obvious reasons
the republicans of Tom Green
county will have no candidates
for county offices at the coming
election. There need, therefore,
be no hesitancy in asking, on be-
half of the republicans of this
county, that your committee take
such action as may be deemed not
incompatible with the rules of
your political organization where
by the qualified republican voters
may be given voice IN the cleo
ton of democratic candidates for
county Offices who may be best
acceptable to the greatest mum her.
There can be no question that
the unhampered choice of county
officials by all qualified voters
would promote public welfare.
May it not then be possible for
the democratic party to dispense
with the primary election of can-
dldates for county offices and per-
NIT the names of all now an
nounced to appear on the election
tickets? This would give every
voter an opportunity to select his
candidates, and would certainly
result in the election of those best
suited according to public mind.
The enactment and strict obser-
vance of the Terrell election laws
preclude the possibility of sub
terfuge by any candidate.
Believing that the election of
the best men can but please the
democrats rs it certainly would

1t will be seen from this letter
that the statement of the Press
was an error. The republicans
sought to have the county pri-
mary done away with, that all
citizens who were qualified
voters might have a voice in the
selection of officers. They real
ize that tine choice of the demo
cratic primaries is practically an
election.
To partisan their request
seems unreasonable. TO nom
partisan and an independent
voter their request appears to be
Just in that national politics does
not figure in county elections and
who says that no man be he
democrat, republican or popullst,
should be barred from II county
office on account Of his political
creed as regards national affairs.
AS well as all others, there are
two sides to this question
AS it is there are some men
who will participate in the demo-
cratic primaries and also vote the
republican national ticket. There
is no use denying this, 1t has
always been and always will he
done. Only those republicans
who are too conscientious so say
81 am a democrat" will be pro-
hibited participation by this test.
What harm would it be then to
allow all voters u voice IN
the primaries here?
