There is wide difference of opin-
ion in the various counties of the
state, as to whether voters who have
not registered can vote in the primary
election by having six freeholders as
witnesses, the same as in a general
election.
The primary law is not explicit
upon that point and attorneys differ
upon it also. In some counties ar
rangements are being made to send
the "freeholder blanks" to the polls,
in other counties it is held that no
vote can be "swOrn in" at the pri-
maries, but that the voter must have
registered previously
1t is conceded in all the counties
that the safest way is to require every
voter to register in advance of the
primary election as required by law
Registration for the primary election
closes at 3 o'clock on April 10. In
speaking of this subject the Salem
statesman says:
Some more doubts have arisen
under the primary election law The
county clerk is in doubt whether he
will be supposed to send out with the
supplies an installment of registra-
ton blanks a. for use at the polls
on the day of primary election.
The doubt is as to whether a voter
who has not registered while the
books are open can go to the primary
accompanied by six freeholders and
be registered at that time with the
right to vote. The doubt brings with
it the fear that in a precinct with a
large number of votes, a dozen men
seeking to register under the six
freeholders" provision would so block
the work as to make it practically
impossible to get all the voting done
during the seven hours allotted for the
election. This fear is all the more
plausible since the change in the law
which makes it the duty of the judges
of election to take the verification in
such cases.
But a reading of the law indicates
to a layman at least that the right of
registration by the six freehOlders'
process is guaranteed to the voter at
the primary election. The only por-
W
contrary view is contained in the
section of the primary law which pro-
vides that an elector must state his
| political alliances at the time of reg
I istration.
part of that section reads: mo
| eleCtor shall be qualified to vote, nor
permitted to vote at any such primary
| nominating election required by this
| law, and it shall be unlawful for him
to offer to do so, unless he shall be
registered as above required as a
member of one of the political par
ties choosing and nominating its can
didates." etc, but another part of this
same section says:
provided, that nothing in this law
/ shall be construed to deprive any
elector Of the right to register and
vote at any primary nominating elec-
ton required by this law, on his COM
plying with the special provisions OF
this law, in the same manner that he
is permitted by the general laws tl
register and vote at a general elec.
ton"
Then section AZ of the primary Law
says that section 2S75 of the code
shall apply to and is hereby made
applicable to primary nominating
elections held under this law, so fai
as not in conflict herewith" Sectior
2S75 of the code provides that if the
eleGtor is not registered in the pre-
cinct where he applies to vote, h'
shall be considered challenged anC
