REPLIES TO CHARGE.
Primary Ruling Not Reversal, Attor-
ney Generals Office Holds.

In answer to Secretary of State c.
| E. Denton, who asserts that Mr.. jack
son has reversed himself in his recent
ruling on the primary law, the attor-
the following letter, written two years
! ago. which is held to be in exact ac-
cord with his more recent ruling:
July. 81, 1908.
Mr.. C. w. Ryan. Troy. kansas.
Dear Sir: Your letter of July "a is
received. In this letter you ask wheth-
er section II of the primary law
makes the affidavit prescribed therein
for the voter who is challenged as to
party fealty the sole test required Tor
hmi to vote. A careful examination of
this law and the decisions of other
states upon the question leads me to
the conclusion taht it is fundamental
in the framing of primary laws that
the legislature has a right to PRESCRIBE
the qualification of voters at the pr1-
mary election of the several parties,
so long as such requirements are rea-
sonabie and do not arbitrarily deprive
any voter of his right to vote.
1t is not lawful for the legislature to
place in the hands of any board the
right to arbitrarily determine whether
anv voter is a member or affiliated
with any particular party. 1t may,
however. in pursuance of the principles
above stated. prescrlpe certan re
uuirements which the elector must sat
isfv as a prerequisite to his right to
vote at the primary of any particular
party.
1t seems that our legislature has
summed up the whole matter by re-
curing that any person who is chaI-
lenged upon the ground that he is not
a member of the party announced by
himself may make and suDscrlpe TO
the affidavit set forth in section IL of
the primary law. AS you are aware,
this affidavit is substantially to the
effect that the person who offers TO
vote is a member of and affiliated with
the party announced by himself ON
the filing of this affidavit, the party
has the right to vote.
The election board has no right TO
question him concerning his party al
filiation or his past acts or his future
intention The whole matter is closed
bv the filing of the affidavit on the
part of the voters. The vote ne casts
other challenged ballot under the pro-
visions of the general law. If the
voter has sworn falsely, he can be
prosecuted for perjury and in con-
test of the primary, or any proceeding
to test it's validity, his vote can be
ascertained by the mark placed on the
ballot by the judges. and his right to
vote tested under the general rules of
law.
1 shall not attempt to define what
constitutes membership or utilization
with the party. In common accepta-
ton of the term it means person VINO
has and will general vote for the can
didates of the particular party, and
who is affiliated and connected in gen
eral with the interests of that party.
I think this answers as nearly as
possible your inquiries. Very truly
yours,
F. S. JACKSON, Attorney General.
