went to work ia the Tribune office,

Now, as to the right of man
who has in the past belonged to one
political party to call for ballot Of
another political party. The oath
required to be taken in case a voter
is challenged at the primary is as
follows The voter has to swear
that he is qualified voter; that is,
that he is of the legal age and
residence and that he affiliates with
the party whose ballot he calls for.
The language of the law is plain.
1t is in the present tense. That is,
the voter is required to swear that
he atf,liates now with the party, not
that he has always affiliated with it
UT that he has affiliated with it in
the past at any time.
1t is one Of the privileges OF
American citizenship TO change
political affiliations at any time. A
man might decide to affiliate this
year with the Republican party
and next year with the Democratic
party and the following year with
the Socialist party, and he has a
right to do so. / is entirely a
