Brown, State chair man of the Democratic party, has isued a formal statement in which he rules that in order to qualify as a voter in the approaching primaries, the applicant must declare his or her age. This ruling conflicts with a recent opinion from Attorney General Woll^i in which it was held sufficient that the applicant show that he or she would be 21 or older before the next, general election. Col. Brown states that he {has given serious thought to the rules of the party referring to the age of appli cants for memberships in Democratic clubs ami for voting at a primary. “At first blush I felt like concurring in the opinion rendered by the ‘at torney general, to t& effect that the rules only require women to indicate on the enrollment hook that they are 21 plus." said Col. i4rown: “However, the more 1 read the rules and the more I think of the matter, I am convinced that his ruling la entirely contrary to the true inetnt and re quirement! of the party rules, carefully Rule 6, and then read fully Rule 11.
