WHAT Is A QUALIFIED VOTER? ?

Tindai. May 16.-It seems that the

quoted what we said. We said that
Some of the voters thought that the
Kesoiution OF the wedgefield club
would injure DIR. Dwight's chances
down here as they (the voters)
thought that IL only qualified voters
could vote at the primary 1t would be
a gap through which the Republican
party may get In power" We then
said that we did not understand poll
hcs sufficiently to explain why they
h,ought this. but perhaps some one
aoulA explain. We would like II un-
1ersiood that we have no personal
foeling In the matter. and we are rot
trying to injure DIT. Dwight.
To our mind the correspondent has
not explained anything. The question
sss the action OF the club In passing
ahe resolution TO restrict the primary
to qualified voters. and what the re-
sAlt would be. should II become a law.
The issue stands as before: that
Vedgefield club only wants qualified
voters to support DR.. Dwight. and cor
respondents excuse for this resolution

and jury duty" Now. our impression
