Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1908-05-27
NO FRAUD PERMITTED AT PRIMARY.
Penalties Provided for the Same Under
Section So OF Primary Law and Section
1919, Code Of 1907.

49l9. Code OF 1907.
Under the law no voter at the pri- /
mary election should call for or cast
ballot except that of the party to
which he in good faith belongs. To
do otherwise is to commit fraud, to
violate both the letter and spirit of
the statutes. and to make the offender
liable to the legal consequences of
such acts as provided by the statutes.
Section 1919 expressly provides that |
Whenever any political party shall
hold primary election for the pur-
pose of selecting delegates to any
convention Of such party, it shall be
unlawful for any person not qualifi-
ed elector, or any qualified elector not
at the time member in good faith of
such political party. to vote at such
primary election. Any person violat-
ing the provisions of this section,
and any person: knowingly procuring.
aiding. or abetting such violation.
shall be deemed guilty Of misde-
meanor. and upon convict on shall be
fined not to exceed one hundred dol
lars or be imprisoned in the county
Jail not to exceed thirty days."
At the primary election, June and.
voter calls for the ballot Of the
party which he declares to vote and
the primary law provides that the
same constitutes declaration of his
party affiliations. which is perman-
entity registered and can only be
changed by subsequent change in
good faith of party utilization. of
which change a written statement
must be filed with the auditor ten
days prior to the next primary elec'
tioh.
Every voter is subject to punish
ment for the making of false DECLARE.
tions. In Sec. SO OF the present pri-
mary election law it Is. among other
things, expressly provided: Amy
person making false answer to any Of
the provisions of this act relative to
his qualifications and party affilia.
tions; or any person violating any Of
the provisions of this act, or of any
provisions of the code as may be
hereto applied. and any person know.
ingly procuring, aiding or abetting
such violation, shall be deemed guilty
of misdemeanor, and. upon convic-
ton, shall be fined not less than one
hundred dollars, nor more than five
hundred. or be imprisoned in the
county Jail not less than thirty days
nor more than six months.
II any person, known to be men,
Der of one party, calls for ballot of
the opposite party and thus causes
himself to be registered q member Of
such opposite party, he thereby fur
nishes written proof of his fraud and
thus puts it in the power of any per-
son to cause his punishment. Those
who aid, or abet. or encourage the
violations above referred TO. are like
wise guilty and as liable to punish
ment as the voter who untruthfully
registers his party affiliations.
This, the first election under the
new primary law. happens to be. also.
one in which there is an unusual in
terest. 1t may well be expected that
every feature of its working will be
carefully scrutinized and every viola
tion Of its letter or spirit will be rig
orously punished.

Decorah public opinion. (Decorah, Winneshiek County [Iowa]) 1895-1928, 1908-05-27

Judged Robert Sloan and Atty. w.
Nj. Walker of Keosauqua have issued
an exhaustive opinion on the primary
law, in which they hold that voter
who casts ballot different from his
party affiliation is liable to fine and
imprisonment. Among other things
the opinion states that 'The act
alone of declaring himself a republican
or democrat. when moi: such and ask
ing for party ticket which the elect
or does not intend to support at the
general election would be fraud and
a violation of the spirit and the letter
of the statute. and subject the person
sosoffending to che penalties prescrib-
ed in the statute.

All those statements about the
feebleness of Senator Allison, made
by his enemies are belied by the facts,
and are proving boomerang against
the men who have been making them.
Senator Allison has been getting
through with an immense amount Of
work for a man who is feeble. 1t
may be said of him what Lincoln said
of Grant. just after the victory at
Vicksburg. When Grants enemies
complained that he was drinking too
much whiskey and wanted him re-
moved from command. Lincoln said
he would like to find out where Grant
got that whiskey. for he would send a
supply to some of the other generals.
