Because the state primary law Is

stood by voters as it will be after more
experience is had with its workings.
1t may prove timely to repeat, on the

quired of the voter.
Any qualified elector, which means
a male citizen over 81 years of age,
who has lived In the state six months,
and the county sixty days, is entitled

vote he passes into the booth, marks
his ballot, and returns 1t to the cleo
ton board. The voters selection OF MS
ballot constitutes his declaration or
party utilization. A record Is made OF
his name and party, and this list Is
returned by the primary election board
to the county auditor for preservation
until the next primary.
As to Challenges.
Each political party shall be en-
titled to two party challengers at
each polling place, to be appointed by
the respective party COMMITTEES
Any Judge or clerk Of election and
the party challengers may issue chal-
lenge on the grounds covered In the
statutes.

have to take any party allegiance, as

erly be administered to challenged vot-
ers at tomorrow's election, and that
ds an cath in which the voter sim
ply declares himself to be legally
qualified voter in that precinct. He is
his own Judge Of party utilization In
this primary, but In the next primary
he will fnd himself recorded as he
voted this time, and he can not change
his party atfiiiat'on then without put
ting written notice of his desire on
file with the county auditor.
