containing the Party Affilia-
ton" gu .Jtion above the line
for the mans signature.
Most uniformed men left this
space blank, and rightly So,
Clerk Brown points out. I'm
der the new primary system
adopted several years ago, no
voter is required to identify
himself with a particular party
to any election officer or coun-
ty official. When entering q vot-
ing booth now, the voter is en-
titled under the law to be hand
ed both Democratic and Repub-
lican ballots. The one he doesn't
use he can tear up or put in
his pocket in the privacy of
the booth, so that no person
can tell which ballot he used"
Brown was frankly indignant
at the ty. of printed form that
requires the soldier to identify
his party politics although
many had not filled in this line.
Further example of the men S
attitude towards the ballot was
in a typewriter statement made
by one soldier applicant, Cpl.
Roy Gipson Lewis, of 27521
Bohm avenue, Roseville, now
with the Signal Corps in Texas.
There is a space on every ap-
plication card for the signature
of non-commissioned officer,
certifying to the application.
This space on Lewis appli-
cation was not filled in. Be-
meath it Cpl. Lewis had typed
with heavy punches on his
typeWriter):
AS a citizen of the United
States of America, do not think
an officer needs to sign for my
ballot He is not casting the
vote; l am. l do not intend to
vote more than once at this COM
ing election, so therefore I be-
lieve my word is as good as any,
one else's."
Good for him., was Clerk
Browns comment. ANY soldier
who applies for a ballot and
checks with our voting lists will
get ballot, regardless of wheth-
er an officer signs their appli-
cation or not" the clerk said.

That period is allowed you TO
