at the November election and United States
senator's and said day shall be the first
day Of registration Of voters in all cities
where registration is required
Without punctuation those who have
examined this piece OF democratic work
have concluded there is a grave doubt or
the right OF the voters under its Drovi-
sions to nominate a senator. Deputy At
torney General Grant Martin said there
was grave doubts about the law providing
for the nomination OF candidates Tor the
senate. but he preferred to look into the
matter more thoroughly before giving out
