We just don’t do it.” As for y membership, Champer- lain said he instructed election officers to waive it last time because “we heard up in Mscon that in Alabama Demo- crats who voted for Hoover couldn't vote in the Democratic primary. Well, sir, nobody in our county would vote for Al Smith aad we knew a lot of Democrats would want to vote Demo- cratic this time.” Senator Nye asked what provision made to prevent ballots going y.
