108. The judges, after organizing and selecting a presiding
judge at any such primary election, shall, before entering upon
their duties, severally take and subscribe to an oath in form now
required of judges at general elections. The vote or ballot of
any person offered at such election shall, upon challenge by any
lawful voter or watcher thereat, be rejected unless he be sworn
as to his lawful qualifications as such voter; and the presiding
judge of such primary election is hereby empowered, and it shall
be his duty to administer an oath to such person, or any other
person offering to vote as may be deemed advisable by the said
judge, to the effect that he will true answers make to such ques-
tions as shall be put to him touching his qualifications as a voter,
and his right to vote. He may then be examined as to such
qualifications and right to vote. If he shall swear to the neces-
sary qualifications of a voter, as prescribed by the regulations of
the association holding the primary election or convention, his
vote shall be received; provided, however, that said voter
shall hold and support the political principles of the association
conducting the said primary election. If the person so sworn
and examined shall intentionally swear falsely as to his qualifica-
tions as a voter, he shall be deemed guilty of perjury, and shall,
on conviction, be punished as now prescribed by law for the
crime of perjury.
