We do not ask TINT the nation shall Insist
On an unconditional, universal suf. age. We
admit that States determine for themselves
the principles upon which they wilt act, In
the 1tstrlcitons and conditions thsy placau up
on eufiage. All this States make reatrlc-
items Of age, SEX aad residence. and often
annex other conditions operating In substance
equally upon all, and reasonably attainable
BY all. These matters lie within tho region

the untional authority comes In. We caunot
