The following statement was issued
Saturday by Travis County Chairman
Patterson:
“As so much misunderstanding has
arisen in respect to the tests and
pledges to be used in Trans County,
and the pledge unintentionally con-
fused with what is known as the
“scratching affidavit," and many
voters have been incorrectly in-
formed as -to the use, intent and
meaning of both, I deem it proper
to both the voters and candidates to
make a clear statement for the pur-
pose of removing the erroneous ideas
that some voters have concerning
the same.
“I wish to say that neither the
pledge nor the scratching affidavit

In th, eeneral election tn November,
1212. on th. fl mt Tuenday of maid
month and year, I voted for all of
th. Democratic nominees of th, pri-
mary elections of mid year 1514
from Governer to Constable, and did
not scratch the name of any Dam-
ocratie nominee at mid general elec-
tion in November, 1918.
"In Mme way. the Idea has ob-
tain ad that thia affidavit la a part of
the pledge.
"It is no part of the pledge and
la entirely separate from the pledge,
and will not be presented to any
voter unless there la a challenge.
"On the sixth day of thia month,
the Attorney General, Department
held that oar County Executive Com-
mittee had the night to prescribe
both the pledge and atnidavit and
to caune both to be enforced on pri-
mary electon day."

acted in 1905, when we had only
one primary. In 1918, the Legis-
ylature passed a law requiring can-
i didates to be nominated by a ma-
I jority of all votes cast at the pri-
mary and providing for a second

“The Legislature in amending the

( so as to make it cover both pri-1
maries.
! “For this reason our committee
I felt that when a person voted in ei-
ther the first or second primary.
> he should be pledged to support the
[ nominees of both primaries, and
passed a resolution adopting the fol-
lowing pledge to cure the defect in
the statute: "I here pledge upon
my oath that I am a Democrat and
that I will, in and at the general
’ election to be held on the first Tues-
day in November, 1920, support all
of the nominees of the Democratic
I party, who are nominated at th©
I general primary election of July 24.
; 1*20, and at the second primary elec-
tion of the fourth Saturday of Au-
gust, 1*20.
j “The only reason for using the
word "oath" in the pledge is that
I a number of our citizens had boldly
। and openly stated that they did not
regard the pledge on the ticket as
being in any way binding. morally
lor otherwise, and that they intended
। to vote in the primary and scratch
the ticket in the November election.
This part of the pledge is only for
the benefit of this kind of voters,
and is not intended as a reflection
I on those who are honest in taking
I the pledge on the ticket, and I trust
* that no good Democrat who prizes
I his word as his bond. will take of-
fense at this part of the pledge.
“Men and women who keep their
word, no matter how given. are what
every organisation, po"itical or other-
wise, must have to exist. When com-
posed of others. It will soon pass
I into the junk pile.
“The ‘scratching affadvit' can-
not be used except when there is a
। challenge. If there is no challenge
’ for scratching the Democrat nomi-
l ness at the general election two
years ago, then there is no affidavit,
and if there is a challenge it then
only affects those who voted in the
general election two yearn ago and
actually scratched the Democratic
ticket
