quite so sure and Senator Franks re
moved his straw hat and contemporaries

Mr.. Johnson and the reporter confessed

Franks prepared to check it off on his
fingers. They'll let everybody that's en-
titled to do so register alright, but wher
it comes to voting there's going to be
more challenging than you ever heard o

ties Precincts have been combined an6
enlarged for this purpose.
Johnson leaned forward, blinking his
eyes in absorbing interest at the nara
ton. Senator Franks looked at him

ION election day in these big pre-
cincts the Democratic voters will crowo
around the polls, which you know, will be
roped off. There will be considerable
challenging of Republicans and Populists.
but most of those challenged Will be
Democrats. This will be done by some
fellow claiming to be Republican, but
in the pay of the Democrats. The objec
of this will be to take up time, nearly
all the Democrats having voted, and keel
the Republicans from voting
Johnson nodded as if the idea had per
