THAT PRIMARY PLEDGE

As the day for the primary election approaches
some candidates in both the old parties and not few
political leaders fear that the party pledge which vo
tiers are required to subscribe to before they are per-
mitted to receive primary ballot will have the effect
OF keeping men of more or less independnt political
tendencies from attending the primaries for fear that
they will in that oath assume moral if not legal OBJ
legation to support the straight ticket of the party the
candidates of which they helped to select at the pr
mary election.
This would be drawing an entirely too fine point and
it sincerely is to be hoped that no voter will permit him
self to be kept away from the polls next Tuesday by
any such scrupe The pledge which voters required
to sign at the primary polls contains number of
pure and honest choice and to prevent systematic cut
ting across party lines so that the candidates of one
party are selected by the voters of the opposing party
The only statement affecting party regularity which
the voter is asked to make is contained in the following
words
a % ar memssE ss Tosr e that
party.
There is nothing in this which pledges man to vote
straight party ticket, or even for majority of the
candidates on the ticket of his party as is the case in
some OF the states where the primary laws are more
specific on this point. Most men regard themselves
as member OF some party even when they have for
years made practice of voting without regard to par
ty lines at the general election There is nothing in
the primary pledge of this state which legally binds
such men to support the whole of ticket which they
have helped to nominate. That being the case there
is not the slightest why the voters who are
most independent politically should not take the pri-
mary pledge and at the general election vote with
clear conscience for the candidates they deem best fit
ted for the Offices
OF both the Republican and Democratic parties
