Raleigh, Sept. 14. — Secretary of
Stale 1'had Eure is doing something
this week he felt he ouuht to do. and
yet that he doesn't believe i- really
"worth anything at all. lie i- acknow
ledging receipt of more than :> thou.
s.nd requests for absentee ballots un
der the congressional act pi'iniiuiij
ail soldiers over 21 years of age to
vote by mail for Federal olTieers. The
Federal statute named thi -eeretary
of state as administrator ot the ad.
The letters to soldiers are being
mailed because Mr. Eure doesn't lilso
the idea of not acknowledging the
post card requests for ballots. So
along with the acknowledgement lit
is giving a concise statement of
what procedure the voter must lol
low, as well as reminder that nod i
an act ol the lust legislature North
Carolina citizens can vote tot alt
Federal. State ami countv ofiiei.tl.v.
both in the primary and in the ;;< n
tial election. It would lie a genuine
m i vice to the prospective soldse;'
voters if there wasn't so mui li • i:ani-e

The secretaries will quite likely
have constructive suggestion* for
amending the law. growing out ot
their cxpei ience with it last tall.
Then several members of Congress
have said they will propose changes
m> as to make it more convenient for
members ol the armed Iorces to vote,
with perhaps inclusion of primary
privileges in the Federal act. Any
material change in the congressional
act will make it necessary to send
another leltci to the soldiers telling
tin-in about it.
The main la«loi* tending to make
present advice worthless is the al
inesl certain change of address of the
\ i ter before November of next
year. To meet this problem the sec
retary in his letter asks the soldiers
' to advise him during September.

I Further con.minding the confusion
is conflict between Federal and State
laws about the distribution of ballots
to service men and women. The Fed
