several states, provided penalties for their
V olation and method Of supervision. Only
the ineffciency Of the state laws or AN TN
fair or partisan administration OF them
could suggest depar ure from this po icy.
1t was clearly, however, in the contempa-
ton of the fr mers OF the constitution that
such an exigency might arise, and provision
was wisely made for IT, The freedom OF
the ballot is a condition Of our national life,
and no power vested in congress or in the
executive 20 secure or perpetuate IL should
remain unuS q upon occasion. The people
OF all the congressional districts have an
equal interest that the e. ection IN each shall
truly express the views and wishes
OF majority Of the qualified electors re-
siding within 1t. L results of such cleo
tons are not local. and the insistence OF
electors residing in other districts that
they shall be pure and free does not SAVIOR
at all of imperunence II, in any OF the
states, the public security is thought TO be
threatened by ignorance among electors,

sympathy and help of our people w II not be

with special emDarrassmonts or Difficult
ties come ted with tho suffrage, if the
remedies proposed proceed upon lawful
lines and arc promoted by just and honor
able methods.

evanescent, even from party standpoint
We should hold our differing opinions IN
mutual respect and, h1ving subm tied them
TO the arbitrament of the ballot, should
accept the adverse Judgment with the same
respe th0t we would have demanded OF
our opponents, If the decision had been in
our favor.

pursue advantage at the expense OF public
honor, or by rude or indecent meth DDS with

our next census will make Of the swift de
