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.
