Harder on your own sex than you are

; mo. dear; do not mean that the
wife who is unfaithful to her hus-
band is any greater sinner than the
man who is unfaithful to his wife, but
do think that unfaithfulness on the
part OF a woman means only that she
does not love her husband and she
does love the other man. On the con.
trary. have come to believe that
most men can love their wives and
be unfaithful to them every day"

earth there Is only one man made for
one woman and these marriages are
made In heaven"

RIGHT OF INDEPENDENT VOTING

rTNHE main purpose of registration is to
i qualify citizens for voting on election day
In November The secondary purpose is to
separate the electorate into party groups that
the voters may be qualified TO vote at the
primary elections for the nomination OF can
didates for the offices to be filled in No
vember.
There is nothing in the law that can inter-
fere with the exercise of the fullest freedom
OF Judgment at the November election. The
provision permitting n man who split" his
ticket at the last election to enroll as Re-
publican, Democrat, Washington party man,
or what not, so long as he voted for ma
jority OF the candidates OF his party, was in
serted for the purpose of preserving and en-
couraging independence Of judgment at the
final voting.
The enrolled Republicans voting at the
primaries may split their tickets at the Mo-
vember election, and the same inalienable
privilege is open to the enrolled Democrats
and Independents OF whatever name.
The courts have uniformly overruIed the
efforts Of the party machines to tie the voters
70 any party ticket and have uniformly sus-
tained the right of the citizen to exercise
HIS choice In the polling booth as seems to
him best at the time he casts his ballot.

asking him to accept The Governor said
that he was aware that there was tank of
nominating Smith for the mayoraity; but
he continued, Il trust in accepting this ap-

Smith, on the same day, wrote TO the Gov
ernor resgning his place on the Commission,

had resigned
