Explanation on voting There seems to be a great deal of confusion and misunderstanding in our county about the declaration of ones politics in the Primary election, and how it will at feet ones right to vote in the November 8th General Election. The following explanation will probably enlighten and clarify any misconception or misunderstanding that anyone might have about voting next Tuesday! 1. One DOES NOT have to declare his politics, or his politics in the November General Electoin. didates of TIIEIR choice, and where the general public who were not affiliated with the Parties and their MACHINES, had no choice in the selection of candidates. In place therefore, of mancorrupt political-machin- e aged conventions, the Primary Election was provided which in no way deprives a citizen of the right of secret ballot, but rather provides the public at large a voice in choosing his partys candidates. Rather than denying the public a privilege or right, it provides a greater right and privilege. Remember, the right of secret ballot in the General Election on Novembebr 8th is not denied anyone, nor will it ever be; one does not declare his politics. Now, with this information taken from the 1943 iCcde; Section of Utah Election Laws, Volume we plead with all Emery 3, County citizens to get out and vote; scratch if you want to, BUT VOTE NEXT TUESDAY FOR THE CANDI- Re-Decl- 2.
