Muscle Shoals We have - always thought. Muscle . Shoals wa&.iou. valuable for the government to keep. The fertilizer and power trusts have too much power in,politics to permit the vast plant to go. i« The combined trusts failed to hold the Senate in line, that body passing the Norris resolution which au thorized the government to complete the plant and operate it. In the House, the Norris resolution met defeat, giv ing place to a resolution authorizing the government to lease the plant to private interests. Of course the power gang and the fertilizer people are the only ones who can lease and operate it, the action amounting tonittle less than highway robbery. The principal reason why the trusts oppose the oper ation of the plant by the government is because they know the people will learn how cheaply electric energy can be produced, and the producers will be forced to drop prices all over America. While the committee is investigating fraud in the Senate, doubtless the same gang representing the trusts is buying up the House. Truly this is a government of money operated for those who have money. Are We Acting Wisely? We fear in tffe heat of the present campaign be tween members, of the Democratic Party that many of our young men and women will loose sight of the principals of Democracy without fostering a prejudice for or against either Mr. Simmons or Mr. Bailey. We feel the Democracy for which we stand —a Democracy that was born in the hearts of our forefathers and in herited by us. It is more important than any candi date. Everyone has the right to supiwrt his choice, at the same time one must rememlx-r that if both Mr. Simmons and Mr. Bailey live to l»e centenarians there will still be a need (or the Denvxracy of Jeffer son, Jackson and Wilson. BRUMMIT HANDS DOWN RULINGS FOR PRIMARY (Continued from page one) filiation, and if so. when? Yes. He may do so at any time prior to participation in the primary election. Although registered as a Democrat, a Republican, or an Inde pendent, the voter inay, during the reg istration period or when lie goes to vote in the primary, declare a change in his party affiliation and ask that the change be entered on the registra tion book. He will thereupon have the right to participate in the primary of the party with which lie then declares and has recorded his party affiliation, unless upon challenge his right so to participate is decided against him Challenging of Voter* (7) How is the right of a voter to participate in a party primary to be determined when that right is chal lenged on the ground of party affilia tion? C. S. 6031 directs that the elector shall be furnished witb primary bal lots of the political party with which he affiliates, "and he shall not in such primary be allowed to vote a ticket marked with the name of any political party of which he has not declared himself to be a member.. The right of such elector to V9te in such primary j may be challenged "upon the ground that he does not affiliate with such j party or does not in good faith intend to support the candidates nominated in the primary of such party." In such case it is the duty of the 'election official* to determine the chal lenge as a pure matter of fact. The elector may be asked such questions as will enable the officials to pats upon the question. They may consider *uch evi dence as may be produced, either for or against the right of the person chal lenged to participate in the primary. In the language of the statute, "It shall be the duty of the registrar and judge of election upon such challenge to de termine whether or not the elector ha* the right to vote in inch primary." On this subject see case of Brown v. Cos ten, 176 N. C.. 63. ~ Need Hot Vote at All (t) Must an elector vote for a can didate or candidate* for all office* in the primary of the party in which he participates ? No. He may vote for a candidate for only one office or more, just a* he wishes, C. S. 6031. The ballot thai) be counted for the candidate or can didates for which he ha* properly vot ed as required by statute. (9) Arc marker* to be appointed for It should be remembered that it is a contest be tween friends and not against opposing parties. Every new voter should be impressed with the high ideals of principle and a democracy that stands for equal justice to all men, both as to property and as to person. Wc can't expect a reasonable electorate un less we stress principles rather than policies. Every voter in the United States should have a memorandum book and a pencil to keep a record of all the promises made him by candidates for office. If all the voters will take the trouble to record (he promises and then require the winning candidates to abide by their pledges, a splendid administration of government will result. Mother's Day of all other days is being recognized as the greatest of all days of the year. While it is not a religious feat nor a day of reveling of earthly honors to some war hero, it is the day that makes all true men and women think in terms of reverence for their best earthly friend. Some mothers may be a little old fashioned, yet it is hard to find one who has not a storehouse of good, kindly and loving advice for their sons and daugh- ters. Spurned advice of mother is often regretted in later days. • There is much talk about the home garden, but many people continue to buy their vegetables from foreign trucks. 4 „ > * Anybody can plant a few seed in the spring and have a few summer vegetables when the price is low. The twelve-months garden should be considered. With a little work, it is possible to have such a garden on tvery farm in the county and on every vacant lot in the towns. Winter freezes may get some things, but with a good variety, it likely that some of the veg etables will stand the heaviest freeze. No garden can thrive without attention. A family pf poor people can live easier and better with a good garden than they can by working for wages all the time and igniting a garden. Many farmers in this section arebeginning to solve some of the difficult problems they have faced for the past ten years. They have stopped entertaining ideas that the government will extend them special favors They say that no man should ask the government to do a thing for him that he can do for himself. They realize that the government is needed as a protectorate for the life, liberty and property of the people, and not an agent to stuff f(x>d into their mouths or put clothes on t heir backs. „ Easy borrowing and foolish spending are declared to constitute the chief cause for our financial distress. The farmer and merchants are both looking at both ends of the trouble's source by getting along with as little income as possible and spending wisely. And if such a course is followed for a few years we will regain our freedom. We need not expect our government to do for us the things we should do ourselves. No. Section 2f> of the Australian Ballot Act specifically provides: "That no markers shall be named for or per mitted in primary elections."-However, the voter may obtain assistance at the pi unary elections in the following ways: (a) He may ask and secure such aid from' any election official at hiis voting precinct: • »•- (l>) He may select any member df his family, who shall have the right to go into the voting booth with him aud as sist in the preparation of (lie ballot (c) Or, he may be assisted by any other person requested by the voter and approved by a majority of the election officials. (10) Should separate ballot boxes be provided for Democratic and Kepubli san ballots in the primary election? Yes. Section 12 of' the Australian Ballot Act sets out the kinds of ballot l> xes to be provided, dependent, of -course, upon action of the State Hoard of Elections in prescribing the kind of ballots. Section 34 of the Australian Ballot Act repeals such part of C. S. (>('3l as is in conflict with that act. C. S. Oo3f specifically required separate ballot boxes "for each political party." That requirement has not been re pealed, but is still in force. Number of Booth* (11) How shall the number of booths for each precinct be determined? Section 17 of the Australian Ballot act provides: "The number of such voting booths shall be not less than one {for each one hundred voters qualified to vote at such polling places." I The State Board of Elections has | adopted a regulation which gives this sentence a reasonable construction and | is within the power of the board. Un ; d*r that regulation, the minimum re quirement is one booth for every one hundred qualified voters in a precinct and an additional booth where the ex ; cess number, being less than an ad ditional one hundred, equals fifty or I more. I approve of such regulation and ad vise that providing booths in accord--" ance with it «yill be a compliance with the statute.
