PIONEER PAPER or The COUNTY.

There have been manv inquiries
recently as to what are the penalties
prescribed by law for the man who
refused to declare his party politics
or lack of party politics in response
to the questions fo the assessor, and
who attempts to vote at the coming
election. The law under which par
ty registration is required was
known as House Bill No. 259.' 1t
was introduced by Davidson. OF
Burke county, LaFolette Progress
i've, and is said to have been pre-
pared from Wisconsin ard Oregon
laws by Bessesen. also IaIoliette
Progressive. 1t was passed bg a
House and Senate both having a ma
jority largely of the same faction,
and that faction is. therefore entire
ly responsible for its good or bad
features. But it is the law, and oi
course it must be obeyed or punish,
ment for its violation expected. The
new law is an amendment to the Phi
mary Law 1t provides. under Sec
ton 1854 of the Penal Code. the fol
lowing punishment for those who
commit crimes against the elective
franchise: Section s59i" Every
person knowing himself to be an un
qualified voter, who votes, or offer:
to vote al any election, shall lie pun
ished by fine not exceeding twf
hundred dollars, or by imprisonment
in the county Jail not exceeding one
year
Section $685. of the Penal Code pro
vidcs that any one who advises ar,
one to vote when such person has nc
right to vote shall be punished 'bs
a fine not exceeding FIVE hundred
dollars nor less than fifty dollars anc
by Imprisonment in the county jail
not exceeding one year.
Section s6l7 Of the Penal Code pro
vides that inspectors and Judges whc
allow man to vote knowing him
not to be a voter under the law are
guilty of a misdemeanor.
A friend of the writer writes ask.
ing whether although he did not de-
clare his party utilization to the as
SCISSOR he can vote at the coming pri
mary election. We would advise
him not to attempt to do so as he
would be subject to the punishment
provided as above quoted for ilegaI
voting. The political preference.
law is not only a law but it is law
that has been declared constitutional
by the supreme court.
Sections s6l0 and s6ll provide
punishment for any one who raises
a disturbance about the polls or in.
-terferes with the authority Of tbs
election officers.

A Democrat told us the other day
that he believed Wilson would be the

he was beginning to get ready for It,
as it was always prudent to be on the
safe side. Yet blinded by political
heredity Or choice, he will vote for
Wilson with due preparation for the
inevitable, instead OF avoiding ali
doubt and uncertainty and cast his
vote for President Taft, the repre-
sentative of the Republican party
and its policies. This may be good
politics, voting one way and praying
another, but it looks like rank fool
ishness. And many will vote fer VIII

SIMMONS ANDPENROSE
Charged Simmons Wanted to
Swap Some Votes With the
Republican Senator
Winston Paper Reprints Charges
Made Against Simmons in . Dem
yer Paper-Makes Interesting
Reading For North Carolina VOt-
erS.

According to report OF a Washing
ton correspondent Of Denver paper,
Senator Simmons has been very
handy to offer votes BOSS" Penrose
in the Senate when Penrose should
chance to be in need of such a COM
modify. In commenting on the Den
yer article which was reprinted in
the Winston Sentinel, the Greensboro
News Of Tuesday says:
Acknowledged supporters and
workers of Governor Kitchin in his
campaign to defeat Senator Simmons
were busy yesterday circulating a
copy Of an article printed originally
in the Denver Express from it's Wash
ington correspondent and reprinted
in this State by the Winston-Salem
Sentinel. The article, which was
credited to Gibson Gardner, charged
a frame-up between Senator Sim
mons, of North Carolina, and Sena-
tor Penrose, of Pennsylvania, as re-
garding tariff measures. Gardner
charges that he overheard conver-
Penrose in which the two reached an
agreement as to how votes should be
cast upon pending tariff measure.
The article. originally printed in
the Denver Express, was clipped by
the semi-weekly edition of the Win
ston Sentinel and the Kitchin sup
porters here secured copies OF the
Winston paper, decorated the article
in question with a red ink border
and in a sort of confidential way call
ed voters to one side and gave them
the privilege of reading what the Col
orado paper had to say Of Senator
Simmons. 1t was said that circulars
containing the articles were being
printed by a local printery and that
they would be distributed through
out the country
"The article in question Is rather
ed as it appeared in the Winston pa
per, headline and all:
SENATOR SIMMONS STAND
IN WITH BOSS PENROSE.
This statement is by Gibson Gard
ner, Washington correspondent of
the Denver Express.
Senator Penrose is following in
the footsteps Of his predecessor, MT
Aldrich, in trading across the party
line when it comes to protecting the
high tariff schedules. The other day
when the Pennsylvania Senator re-
ported his suggested revision of the
wool schedules a bill drawn by Mr..
Lippett, Of Rhode Island, the attor-
ney for the American Woolen Com
pany, Penrose held a little informal
meeting in the Senate lobby with
Senator Simmons, of North Carolina.
The writer stood by and heard the
following conversation:
Simmons: What DO you want Us
to do. Do you need any votes?'
"Penrose: No, think I can put
it over; you fellows vote for your own
BILL
Simmons: You don't need any
of our votes, then?'
"Penrose: No, you fellows vote
for your own bill. I'll take chance
on putting it over, and then I'll fix it
up in conference

FIREMEN CHARGE
CRUELTY In NAVY
Declare That Ice For Water Is
Used To Cool Beer
For Others.

NORFOLK, Va, July 17.-Several
firemen from the United States navy
collier Vulcan, now at anchor in Hamp-
ton Roads, have told Agent F. Balsa,
Of the local branch of the Marine Fire
mems Union. and a Norfolk attorney.
that when they complained about the
bad condition Of the food and water
they were being given, eight of their
number were thrown into the brig,
which was only large enough to ac-
commodate two. and that on account Of
the terrific heat. two of the prisoners
tainted and came near dying.
Agent Balsa said the firemen were
given water in. the fireroom SO warm
that they could not drink it, and that
the ice which should have been used, to
cool the drinking water was used for
icing bottles of beer which. he said,
were sold to the firemen and oilers for
Is cents per bottle, or cents more than
1t could be bought for on shore.
The men in some instances, he said,
were unable to buy the beer. and were
forced to drink the hot water. They
also claimed that the meat which was
served them was tainted, and unfit to
eat
Mr.. Balsa told them he would report
the matter to the Secretary Of the Navy,
and an attorney drew up q petition.
fCned by the mem themselves, which
was forwarded to Washington.
