that the supreme court of Missouri

opponents.
The proposition by Marshall to dis
franchise the entire electorate OF st.
Louis in 1910 was laid before the court
when he was making his argument
for the production of the poll books
SO that he might ascertain whether
over 5000 foreign-born citizens, whom
/ he challenged voted at that election.
