CORRECTING A WRONG

CORRECTING A O
IF THE FACTS on the inadequacy of election schedule
as set fourth by Senator de Lugo are true, then, indeed, the
situation is serious, and something ought to be done about it.
The Chief complaint is that enough time is not allowed for
proper registration.
THIS rs NO SIMPLE MATTER. The right to vote is the
most precious right one can own in a democracy, or any
where, for that matter. Before that can be exercised, the citi-
zen must register. But what good 81 t if the opportunity is
not provided There ought to have been a much more flexi-
BILE schedule set up so that everyone, whether in the town or
country, could register, and do SO on more dates than sched-
uled.
H CLAIM IS NOT being made that those directly
responsible for registration set out to deprive citizensef their
rights. Rather, it may be a matter of shortsightednesS in fail
ing to provide wide enough latitude, or carelesSness in not
carrying out more fully even the limited schedule set up. But
whether or not there was negligence is now beside the point
IT IS GOOD THAT, those who had the opportunity to
observe have come forth SO that the situation could be cor
rected. In the second place, resort to the Federal Govern
ment may not be the answer at this time. This is not to say
that objections or complaints should not have been raised.
Nothing Of the sort. Rather, what confronts US all is what to
do about this situation right here and now.
THERE is NO DOUBT that in failing to set out and
carry out a more extensive schedule of registration a number
of our citizens may well be deprived Of their basic right to
vote. This situation must be corrected, SO as to give everyone
the opportunity to register before the deadline.
AFTER ALL, THIS IS a government Of laws, and not Of
men, and when men err, they have not only the moral, but
the legal obligation to correct those errors, especially when
failure to correct would be costly.
FINALLY, II IS embarrassing, to say the least, when
in our desire to play politics, we tamPer with basic democrat
tic rights, and then have to appeal to the Federal Government
