REGISTRATION AND THE VOTE

The Oregonian mourns because the democrats register
as republicans and then do not support the republican
ticket 1t is distressing doubt but hardly ustifies
calling all doing so perjurers The lines between the
parties are pretty well oblteraied, and many voter
hardly knows which party he belongs to- There are num-
bers Of democrats who register such yet who at the
election will support certain Of their party candidates
The same is true Of all parties Many register as repub
cans from habit and because the party is the strongest
and it is natural to desire to be the winning side Again
the progressive party has practically disappeared says
the 0regonan and this vote has doubt largely regis
tered this year as republicans. If progressive is not
nominated for president will these ALL or nearly ALL vote
he republican ticket? That Of course, remains to be
seen but it is highly probable they will not That many
Of these under the conditions suggested will vote the
democratic ticket is certainty Yet they can hardly be
cassed as perjurers
There is a large element Of voters that are rather IN
dependent whose political affiliations have been with the
republican party who especially in selecting state and
county officers cast their votes for the man rather than
the party for the reason that there is really no politics
in the state or county office
In order to vote they have to register and naturally
register as belonging the party with which they former
ly affiliated In fact there many conditions and cir
cumsances that will explain the difference between the
repistraton and the final vote

According to the Statesman - cor

to the writer, as by far the best part
of any musical concert is that period
