other being that the tune would come
when the Democrats would need fed
eral election laws, if for no other rea'
son than to protect them against each

The Democratic position in favor Of
the bill was stated by Mr.. Gray Dem,

ought 10 be wiped out, not only be-
cause they were at war with every ira
