implication is that it may do either.
II may either make the regulations
or it may alter such regulations.
The Supreme Court also discussed
this question in TX parte Var
borough. ITO U. s. 65l, when Jus
tiCe Samuel F. Miller. delivering
the opinion Of the court, said:
That a government whose es-
sential character Is republican,
whose executive head and legisla-
tive body are both elective, whose
most numerous and powerful
branch Of the Legislature is elected
by the people directly. has no power
by appropriate laws to secure this
election from the influence Of vio-
lence, Of corruption, and Of fraud
is a proposition so startling as to
arrest at once and demand the
gravest consideration.
IF this government il any

ton Of delegated agents Of other
States and governments. each Of

government. Il must have the
power TO protect the elections on
which its existence depends from
violence and corruption.
III It has not this power it is left
helpless before the two great
natural and historical enemies Of all
republics, open violence and in
sidious corruption.
will II be denied that it is in the
power Of that body to provide laws
for the proper conduct Of those cleo
tions? To provide, IL necessary.
the officers who shall conduct them
and make returns Of the results !
And. especially, to provide in an
election held under its own author
ity for security Of life and limb to
the voter while in the exercise Of
this functionH Can il be doubted
that Congress can by law protect
the act Of voting. the place where
it is done, and the men who vote
from personal violence or intimida-
ton and the election itself from cor
ruption and fraud"
Justice Miller said these ques-
tions answered themselves. and it
was only because the Congress,
through long habit and long years
Of forbearanee, has, in Difference
and respect to the States, refrained
from the exercise Of these powers
that they were doubted.
In view Of the language Of the
Constitution. Of the intention Of its
