WHO IS ENTITLED
 TO CAST BALLOT
Attorney General NorWood Responds to Inquiries Concerning Quali-
 ficaiiOns of Voters.

Little Rock, March 26.-Numerous inquiries have been received by At torney General Ncrwood and by the officers of the Democratic State Cen tral Committee as to the .ualifica- tions that voters must possess in or der to part cipate in the state Demo cratic primary to be held tomorrow, as we'll as to the legal hours for op- ening and closing the pools and other matters connected with the holding Of the primary.
 Section g of the act No. 165, adopt ed by the legislature of 1909, making all primary elections held in the state legal elections, provides that only these. persons shall vote who possess all the qualifications of an elector as required under the general election laws of the state. This, however, does not mean that all those possessing the qualifications of an elector can vote at the primary, as the party conducting the primary may provide it's own qualifications, the only provision of the law being that it can allow no one to vote who has not the qualifications of an elec- tor.
 Norw0Od Gives Opini0n.
 Attorney General Norwood tells what will constitute the qualif-ca- tions of a voter in this section, in an opinion which he gave yesterday in response to an inquiry from Jesse Martin of Russellville. MT. Nos- woods letter is as follows:
 Answering your inquiry as to who are eligible to vote in the pri- mary to be held on March p I beg to state that under Act 165, Acts o, the General Assembly of 1909, be- for a person i: eligible to vote n the primary he must possess all Of the qualifications of an elector as required under the general election laws of the state: That is to say he must have resided in the state l. months, in the county SIX months and in the precinct or ward one month next preceding the primary and have paid his poll tax at the time of collecting taxes next pre- ceding the primary, or have at ta ned the age of 21 years since the time as assessing taxes next preeed- ing the primary. The time for col lecting taxes next preceding the pr.- mary on March 27 was between thc first Monday in January and the Saturday preceding the first Mond y in July, 1911. See section f of Act 320, Acts of 1909. and the decision in the case of White vs McHughes 97 Ark, 221.
