Dear Slr.---Yours OF July II, asking
my opinion as to whether negroes can
legally vote in Democratic primaries.
received. Under. the law. I am made
the legal adviser Of tho governor and
officials aud boards ut the seat Of
government. and the rendering of opin-
ions to individuals Is not within nay
duty as -escribed by law. But AS Il
personal courtesy to you, and because
as u Democrat and citizen ! am great .
~ interested in the question you pro-
pound. / herein give you my view rs
to the status OF the law under the
primary act, approved March IS. 1914.
1t provides as follows:
All persons qualified to vote at
the election for which the primary
Is held. and not disqualified by
reason Of other requirements in
the law of the party to which he
belongs. may vote al the primary"
etc.
From the above language fl would
seem that the general asf mbly has
expressly recognized the right of par
ties &c prescribe qualifications TO vote
Ia primaries other than the qualffca-
lions set out in the general law. The
Democratic party plan. adopted Feb
ruary 8, 1918 expressly provides that
only white Democrats may participate
In the primary.
While I am of the opinion that the
general assembly has the power to take
away from party authorities the right
TO prescribe different qualifications for
participating in primaries than those
prescribed for general elections, yet II
also has the right TO permit party au-
thorities to prescribe qualifications for
participate In party primaries, and
this perTnlssion is given by the terms
OF the statute quoted
I am, therefore, OF the opinion that
the rule of the Democratic party limit
ing the electorate in primaries to white
Demoera, Is valid
Allow me to add that Virginia's sad
experience with fraud and corruption
induced and encouraged By negro sui
frago. is sufficient justification Cor
nay saying that those who seek Il
again Introduce the negro problem into
i our primary or general elections should
be considered al enemies both to this
state and the party.
Yours truly.
