It may be ques tioned whether this can be done, but if it is possible euch a law as is pro-postd pro-postd bIiouM be promptly enacted. Federal interference in congressional and preaLdeulul elections has in more iuBtances than one resulted in revers ing tue win 01 me people, or at icusi in not permitting a free expression of that will. It id probable that the next congress, being democratic in both branches, will repeal tbe objectionable objection-able Jaws, leaving tbe people of the states free to act, as they were before republicans sought ny party enactments enact-ments to fix themselves permanently in power. |
