The following lucid explanation of voting rights and of party rules is from the pen of Neal W. Workman, chairman of the county Democratic Executive Committee: “I have been asked by many vot ers in Newberry county in recent weeks whether or not a person who voted in the Democratic primaries this year could vote any ticket in the General Election on Nov. 7, 1944, other than the one pledged to sup port the nominees of the National Democratic Convention. “The rules of the Democratic party of South Carolina formerly required those who voted in a prim ary to take an oath to support nom inees of the party, State and Natio nal. That rule has been amended, and appears in the rules of the party adopted at the Convention held in Columbia May 17, 1944, in the following form: “ T do solemnly swear that I am a resident of this club dis-- trict and am duly qualified to vote at this primary according to the rules of the Democratic party, and that I have not voted before at this election, A pledge myself to support the nominees of this primary.” ’. “No “Presidential Electors” were candidates in, or voted for, in any primary in South Carolina. It is therefore clear that those who voted in the primaries are only bound to support the nominees of those pri maries in which the voter partici pated, and are not bound to vote, in the General Election, for “Presi dential Electors” who are pledged to support the nominees of the Nat' ional Democratic Convention. The State Democratic Convention, by striking out the Words “State and National” and substituting the words “this primary” expressly absolved the voter from any obligation to vote in the General Election for the nominees of the National Democrat ic Convention. Consequently, those who voted in the primaries in 1944, as well as those who did not vote therein, are at liberty, if otherwise qualified, to vote to the General Election for the Presidential Elect ors of either faction of the Demo cratic Party, or of either faction of LOOKING DOWN , MEMORY LANE 20 YEARS AGO Pity Ye Poor Ed It is reported that one of the fas tidious newly married ladies of this town kneads bread with her gloves on. This incident may be somewhat peculiar, but there are others.

Turner, Jeweler know, there are six tickets in the field, each with a different set of Presidential Electors. Any qualified elector in in South Carolina, irres pective of whether he or she did or did not vote in the primaries, may vote either one of the six tickets mentioned. That is his or her legal right. Further, I have been asked whe ther or not a vote cast for any ticket other than the one pledged to support the nominees of the National Demo cratic Convention would be a vote for Mr. Dewey. Certainly not. It is puerile, if not deliberately deceptive, for any one to make such a claim. Of course those who vote the ticket of either faction of the Republican Party would be a vote intended, by the voter, for Mr. Dewey. But it would have no legal effect and could not be counted for him unless that particular ticket prevailed in South Carolina and the Electors named on such ticket, at the proper time, cast their votes for Mr. Dewey. In like manner a vote cast for any other ticket is not a vote for any one for President, but for the Electors nam ed on such ticket, and I know of no such Electors pledged to support Mr. Dewey. It is not my duty, as County Chair man, to suggest to the Democrats of this County any ticket. It is my duty to tell them that they have the legal right to vote either one of the six tickets now in the field for Pres idential Electors. Elach qualified elector, whether Democrat or not, has the legal right to choose and vote either one of the six tickets mentioned that most nearly express es his or her views on national and international questions, irrespective of whether or not such vote helps or hurts any particular candidate for President.
