Griggs, Wm M Farmer Sullens, J L Pres Judge Co.Ct William: extrsordinary, dangerous and revo- lutionary measure now proposed by the leaders of the party in power for passage in the house of repre- sentatives. “Uuder a doubtful construction of the constitution this bill proposes to substantially take from the states and local authorities control of all elections at which members of congress are balloted for and hand the same over to United States judges appoined to office for life and chief supervisors of elections. “If the power claimed resides in the constituion, which we deny, the ‘|republic has gone through the diffi- culties of the formative period, made heroic struggle against di lution, triumphed and successfully readjusted itself to changed condi- tions without the exercise of such power by the federal government for 100 years and over. Mr. Jeffer- |son and the fathers of the republic would have considered such a prop- osition as this as an open attempt at centralization. FOR VILEST PARTISAN PURPOSES. “This bill is a purely partisan measure intended primarially to control the elections for eongress and presidential electors in all the states, and to intimidate, hound, ob- struct and harrass by political pros- ecutions in unfriendly hands the ad- verse majorities in the cities of the north. ‘To this end it gives to the control of the chief supervisor of electors a body of federal police spies who are authorized to make domiciliary visits superintend the naturalization of foreign born citi zens, place the citizens under strict scrutiny of these trusty and unprin- cipaled federal detectives for days preceeding and following the elec- tions in every way subject him to the power and control of such party mercenaries of the government in a way at utter variance with republi- can institutions and the great prin- ciple of American freedom—home rule. “To carry out this scheme of im- perial government millions of dol- lars:will be taxed from our people and the judiciary of the United States prostituted to the basest par- tisanship in §the management of elections.
