DIDN'T DISREGARD THE DANGER

Senator Bryan has been blamed by
many for not guarding, in his law,
against negroes voting in the demo-
cratic primaries. The truth is that
the senator did not neglect this
point, but provided for it, and it is
the fault Of the state executive COM
mittee that his provision was not
put into effect In a letter to the
Star, Mr.. Bryan says:
Washington. Feb IA.
Editor Star: l am in receipt of
your letter of the 9Th instant, AMI
have read the article from the Star
upon the question Of the right of ne
groes to vote in a democratic pri-
mary. [ did not overlook this mat
ter in drawing the primary election
law. Section 16 provides as fol-
lows:
The state executive committee of
each political party may by resoIu-
ton declare the terms and condi-
tons on which legal electors, shall
be declared taken as proper members
of such party, and therefore entitled
to vote in the primary election here
in required to be held, as members
of that party. 1t shall be the duty
OF the supervisor Of registration of
the various counties in the registra-
ton Of electors to comply with the
terms of any such resolution upon
the filing with them of copies there
of duly certified by the chairman and
secretary of any such executive COM
mittee, at any time before the open
! ing of the registration books as here
/ in required
InasmUch as the state executive
committee failed to act before the
registration books were opened, | do
not believe it would now have the
power by resolution to make it the
| duty of the supervisor to refuse to
register anybody who comes within
the requirements of the law.
However, there are other proyis-
lions of the law which it seems to me
are ample to protect the democratic
party from the negro vote. Section
% provides for challenges at the
polls. Any person whose right to
vote is challenged must Immediately
make affidavit; if, for instance, it is
his desire to vote a democratic bal
lot, that he is a democrat. and that
he did not vote for any nominee OF
any other party at the last general
election. Section 50 OF the act pro-
yides that, whoever wilfully and cor
ruptly makes any false oath, aft
davit or sworn statement shall suffer
the pains and penalties of perjury
The punishment described for per
jury by the general statute, section
3472, is not more than twenty year
in the state prison. The present pri
mary election law gives as broat
power to the state executive commit
tee as it enjoyed under the law unde
which white primary elections hay
been held for the last several years
Yours very truly,
