RLL DEMOCRATS !
Jiaue a Right to Participate
in The Primary
NEED NOT REGISTER.
Chairman Dußignon And The.
Constitution Oppose The
Rome T ribune
Under the head of “Qualifica
tion for Voters” the Atlanta
Constitution answers the inquiry
of Hon. Clarence Wilson as fol
lows:
,Ql AI.IFICATION FOR VOTERS.
Editor Constitution —Please
publish the qualification of
voters is decided by the state
executive committee.
C LA RENCE WILSON.
Fort Gaines, Ga., May 26,
1898.
The only action taken by the
state committee was the adop
tion of the following resolution :
“Resolved, That the qualifica
tions of the voters in said pri
maries be left to the executive
committee of each county, where
they see fit to act, but where
they do not act, we recommend
that the qualification for voting!
at the democratic primaries I
shall be that the voter be a dem
ocrat and that he will vote for
the democratic nominees in said <
election. ■
“This declaration not being
intended to prevent the partici
pation of any voter who has not
heretofore been a member of the
democratic party, but who
wishes now to become so.”
Under Uie same heading, this
morning’s Rome Tribune utters
the following:
qualification for voters
Any Man Qualified to Vote in
1896 Can Vote Mondav.
“As some questions has been
asked as to who can vote in the
primary on Monday it nay be
stated :
“1. That every man mist vote
in the district in which he re
sides. i
“2. That every qualified voter
in 1896 can vote in this jrimary
if he has paid his taxei since
then.
“3. That any young mm who
has become of age receidy can
vote in this primary.
“The Floyd county epeutive
committee adopted qiaiifica
tions for voters which kill be
published tomorrow, ad are
about as above.”
MR. DUBIGNON’s LETTR .
Over his own signaturChair
man F. G. Dußignon f the
State Democratic Exmtive
Committee writes to Juch Joel
Branham :
Savannah Ga., May 31,
Judge Joel Branham.
Rome Ga
Dear Judge: Referring to o
conversation, in Atlanta
the q lalifications ot vote---* a( th
JUne 6th wculd sai
,k„. .i ... J
that the State cotami\
tee imposed no restriction upon
voters except that they should be
democrats and they should ( agree
to support the nominees of the pri
mary in the general election,
where the County Executive Com
mittee has prescribed no qualifi
cation. I unhesitatingly express
the opinion that all dem
Vcrats who have attained the age
' I 21 years and who are residents
cf the state and county where the
primary is held have the right, to
vote therein regardless of whether
they are registered or whether they
have paid the taxes required by
tin oonstitution in order at a
regular election.
\ ery Truly Yours,
F. G. Dußiqnon.
„ . 1
tom the above it will be seen j
| that the Rome Tribune seeks to
Iconfuse the people as to the
1 qualifications of a voter in the
I coming primaries and hinder the
I free exercise of the rights of the
people.
By what authority does the
Tribune say taxes of 1897 and
98 must be paid. Taxes do not
figure in this question any more
than registration.
If a man is 21 years old, or
will be by the time of the gener
*al election, lives in Floyd county
and is a democrat or wishes to
become a democrat and will
abide the nomination, he is en
titled to vote in the primary.
The payment of taxes and regis
tration are not regarded
Who does the Tribune seek to
drive from the polls? What
right has that paper to disfran
chise the people in a democratic
primary.
The primary is only a nomin T
ating convention and democrats
have as much right to vote in it
as they have in a mass meeting
Let the democrats of Floyd
exercise that right on Monday.
Let them go to the polls and
cast their ballots against “re
formers” who are reformers for
office only. Let them cast their
votes for officers who have prov
ed true to every trust and who
eternally squelch the pie hunters
and mudslingers who would dis
franchise the democrats of Floyd
county in order to serve a selfish
and partisan purpose.
