REPUBLICANS BARRED
FROM NEXT PRIMARY

According To an opinion made pub
TIC yesterday, Assistant Attorney
General Hank holds that no man or
woman may take part as candidate or
voter in ,hc Democratic primary in
August VINO voted for Rcpublica n
candidates AT the last general cleo
ton. lhc case in point WAS that OF
l.. ". Graves, of Orange County, who
desires 10 enter the race for inc HouSy
OF Delegates, hut who voted Tor
CLASS, Moore and Harding. In ais
letter Oh TINS subject MIR. hank says
III II were true that ii person could
vote in II Democratic primary because
he voted Tor some, but not all, of
the nominees OF the Democratic part y
IN the November election. then mani
iestly he could also vote i'll any pri-
mary that the Republican party held
because nc voted for some OF the
nominees OF that party in the last
preceding general election.
1T IS Obvio-s that the Legislature
never intended TO provide that IA per-
son could vote in TWO primaries OF
opposite parties held for the purpose
OF selecting nominees who should Op-
pose each ether in the general cleo
lion Tor which the primary was held.
The primary law provides that no
person snail vote for the candidates
al more than one party"
