DUBIGNOX’fi LETTER. Over his own signature Chair man F. G. Dußiguon of the State Democratic Executive Committee writes to Judge Joel Branham : ( Savannah Ga., May 31, 1898. Judge Joel Branham. Rome Ga. 1i Dear Judge: Referring to our J conversation, in Atlanta touching ' th j qjalificfltions ol voters at the! primary on June 6 h wculd say th it the State Executive commit" < tea 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, L where the County Executive Com- i mittee has prescribed no qualin-'l cation. I unhesitatingly express ( the opinion that all dt mj 1 ocrats who have attained the age of 21 years and who are residents of the state and county where the primary is held have the right to t vote therein regardless of whether . they are registered or whether they > have paid the taxes required by , the oonstilution in order at a < regular election. ' Very Truly Yours, 1 F. G Dußignon. < From the above it will be seen ' that the Rome Tribune seeks to ■ confuse the people as to the , qualifications of a voter in the , coming primaries and hinder the ! free exercise of the rights of the people. By 7 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 dies 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 ating convention and democrats have as much right to vote in it as they have in amass 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 theii 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 cunity in order to serve a selfish a id partisan purpose.
