TWU n ii !! i MUST DECLARE AGE IN SIGNING ROLL5 State Chairman Rules Contrary t< Attorney General Regarding Enrollment of Women The State, 12. The State is in receipt of a communication from Edgur A. Brown oi Barnwell, state chairman of the Dem ocratic party, enclosing a forma statement, in which he rules that ir order to qualify as a voter in the ap proaching primaries, the applican' must declare his or her age. Thu ruling conflicts with a recent opinion from Attorney General Wolfe, ir ? ? ' L-u Wllicn it was nsiu sumcieui mat, m* applicant show that he or she woulc be 21 or older. Mr. Brown is a lawyer. Writing to a member of the stafl of The State, Mr. Brown said yesterday: "I have given some serious thought to the rules of the party referring to the age of applicants for membership in Democratic clubs, and for voting at a primary. "At fir6t blush I felt like concurring in the opinion rendered by the ? ff Avr? a 17 oronDral to thp pffpft that avvvx UVJ I1VIUI) W *?W v.. - the rules only require women to indicate on the enrollment book that they are 21 plus. However, the more I read the rules and the more I think of the matter, I am convinced that his ruling is entirly contrary to the true intent and requirements of the party rules. Read carefully Rule 6. and then read carefully Rule 11. "I am therefore constrained to give it as my opinion that in order to qualify as a voter in the primary, it is absolutely necessary that the applicant shall write in person upon the club roll, his or her full name and age, occupation and postoffice address, etc. "I hand you herewith a statement which I have prepared for publication. I hope you will see that it gets the widest publicity, in order that the women may have an opportunity to avoid improper enrollment in this respect." Ruling of State Chairman The formal statement follows: "In order to determine the requisites as to age of an applicant for membership in a Democratic club, and for voting at a primary two rules of the party must be construed: Rule and 1 1 "Rule 6, in part, is as follows: " 'The qualifications for membership in any club of the party in this state, and for voting at a primary, shall be as follows: viz., the applicant for membership, or voter, shall be 21 years of age, or shall become so before the succeeding general election/ "Rule 11, in part, is as follows: let f~? i i n " \ . . n.acn applicant ior enrollment SHALL in person write upon the club roil his (or her) full name and immedately thereafter his (01 her) age, and postoffice address.' It does not say that the applicant 'may supply it as one of the requisites t< becoming a competent voter. "The rules of the party are the statutes of the party, and must be strictly construed, in the same man ner as the courts construe our statute laws. Hence, I have no alternative other than to rule that in order tc qualify as a competent voter, whe ther man or woman, he, or she, shal in the wording of Rule 11 'in persoi write upon the club roll his (or her] full name, and immediately thereaf ter his (or her) age.' "I urge every woman in Soutl Carolina, as a part of her duty to th< state to enroll and vote in the com ing primary. At the same time I urg< them to follow the rules strictly. T< do otherwise may bring about in numerable contests which can s< easily be avoided by strict adherence to the rules." POTENTIAL POWER Hubert Aull in Clemson Chronicle. Potntial Power?what a thought Who knows the secrets which are con cealed beneath the folds of influenc so great; who knows the possibilitie of potentiality; and who can foretel the magnitude of power. Potentia power, that force which exists in pos sibility but not in actuality. Ah there the rub, not in actuality. Wh; not in actuality? Who is responsibL that so much power in the world to day is merely potential; possible bu not actual; capable of being don Ibut not existing in reality. And why There is so much potential powe in the world today and men every where are prone to await the emer ?- AVAT?/>ic i n or f V? o cf ror> orf jjenc> uciuic A of their might. We have no doub whatever that should the occasion de mand it, the forces of our grea B country would combine again t crush an enemy even more powerfu than was Germany. We are cor vinced that the potential power o the United States is as great as tha A i-nt I n r>f XVP d Kauu jrcv ??* ? I not give that power its fullest e> P?p???Bog mm m ?aacacgeg _ ?_ ' J pression. How many of us put this same restraint upon our powers. > How many of us use the power which we possess in pushing forward as much as we use it in meeting an 'emergency? Is there not u tendency after having made a great achieve - ment tor one to lapse into usuessf ness? In other words how much of - this vast storehouse of power within I each of us is called into action eich 1 day that we live? These are ques tions which we ought to be concernt ed about. The world is potentially > powerful?immensely so?but only - through the combined efforts of those i who are converting the possible into s the actual, and the ideal into the [ real is there anything really beiiv; . accompnsnea. ! God has blessed us with wonderful ? possbiilities. He has made our na. ticn the greatest potential power on errth. He has placed in our hands : influence, sway, government. Poten; tial power is a blessing only in so far . as it is cultivated and made available for active service. Shall we be pojtentially great or shall we be actively . great. Unless we make use of our potential greatness we cannot hope ; i to occupy our rightful place as a cog . in the groat wheel which is grinding: out human history. Potential power?how thankful : we should be to possess it! How eager to make it actual, real, compelling. j BIGHAM'S LIFE IS PROLONGED j BY AN APPEAL TO COURT i Ca*e Will Be Argued in Sitting at!
