Dear Judge Biggs:
At yolur.' nequeet, I uildertake to
answer a .number of questions which
have rea^d your office dr mitie,,
relating to conduct of the approach^,
ing pritnary election, -to be held June

St should be remembered - that the
law is designed to afford a meiahh
whereby political .parties may select
their ycanifidates for public office..
Prior to the enactonent of the pri
mary law, in 1916, swdi Candida^,
were selected, exeeqat in isolated im
stances, under the voluntary rules
or plans of organisation established
by each party for its guidance. ’I^c
purpose of the act is to establish
a method whereb.v under- the law all
members of a party may participate

tickpt?
No. So long as he remains an In
dependrat, he is- not a member of
eitoer pdrtv and, therefore, the law
conifers ujpon him no right to par-
ticip&te in the primary of either.
It should be reoneinbered that these
answers relate to the primary. Con
fusion on the subject may arise be
cause one fadls to differentiate a

in a Democratic primary election,
and all qualilfied Republican electors
have the right to participate in a
Republican dection.

Yes. Tie may do so at any time
prior to participation in the primary
election. Although registered as a
Democrat, a Republican, or an In

dependent, he thereby states that
he is not a member of .or affiliated
vriith either of the two parties holding

long as he remains registered as an
Independent, he would have no right
