TROUBLE KEEPS COMING
Does the Party AffIiation Enrolment
Law Demand Registration for
Judiciary Elections.

Another poser for. Attorney General
Andrew Miller, bearing on the assess
ment registration law. has been pre-
sented by an inquisitive North Dako-
tan who wants to know if a man has
to swear to his party affiliation in or
judiciary primary election, held SIM
UNANIMOUSLY with the party primaries.
The attorney general. acting on the
decision by the supreme court that
voters must register their party affilia-
tons to participate in the primaries,
ruled that women who wished to par.
ticipate in the nomination of school
office candidates, must be registered,
and now he must say whether the man
didate must necessarily have qualified
himself by making known his party
a%ffliation. through the assessors am.
daNit.
Several Grand Forks attorneys quiz
zed on the subject yesterday. were not
willing to make any snap decision on
the proposition.
They contend that, on the face of it,
The proposition seems absurd, yet the
law provides that a voter, to qualify
himself for participation in the pri-
mary, must make known his party am
liation. The point at stake is whether
or not the non-partisan judicial pri-
mary is separate and independent
from the party primaries. and il that
view is sustained, the local attorneys
believe a voter who has not given his
party a%ffiliation to the assessor. is still
qualified to participate in the non
partisan primary.
This question is but one Of the sew
eral that have arisen in connection
with the registration law Of the state,
which Is giving assessors no little trou-
BILE in some quarters. although most Of
the voters are educated to the system
and respond readily to the ENROLL
ment odicial's request for informa-
tion.
