to the Oklahoman today:
Pawnee. Okla Aug. 3,-To the
editor Of the Oklahoman Oklahoma
City. Okla, Dear Sir: ] have just
read with no little concern the
comments of the Olllahoman on the
decision of the court of criminal
appeals in the matter of democratic
registration Being lawyer and
having been a democrat all my life,
must confess ! am amazed at what
appears to my mind as an unfair and
unwarranted attack on the opinion
OF one Of the highest tribunals in
our state The courts opinion Is
manifestly fair. Each political party
is allowed TO name its own nomi-
.nees without Interference from any
other party. The position taken by
the court of criminal appeals must
appeal 10 every fairminded man as
being fair and consistent with the
primary law obviously all parties
are to hold their primaries on the
same day set 10 prevent voters OF
one political faith being allowed to
participate in the primary OF another
party

Of any OF the political candidates and
to refuse to allow him to east a vote
in the primary for the candidate OF

the legal right to vote. I take it
