Ii the Kentucky Legislature would
provide for the printing OF hall million
copies OF the new election law aud then
direct the sheritls OF the various coun-
ties to place copy OF the same in tn,
hands OF each voter and explain to hin
what il means, the voters o! the STATE

that "No State shall make or enforce
any law which shall abridge the priv
leges or immunities OF citizens OF the

leges OF citizen of the United States
has always been the right to cast his
vote for any one he chose who was eli
gible to the office voted for. The lat,
election law virtually abridges this priv
ilege by prohibiting the voter from cast

whose names are placed upon the tickets
provided by the various county author
titles, and prevents any one from being
candidate unless he can secure the requi
site number OF petitioners to have hi
name placed on the ticket. Sec. b OF thu

from this that a voter could not be re
