those devices for nullifying th?

The legislative branch of the f?
gov.riinient, spo? itUally clothed with
r to enforce the suffrage articles
of the constitution, has vlewV?d with
apathy and inaction their flagrant
violation save when actively con?
doning it by seating congre
elected under the violation as av
contestants entitled to seats if the"
feulerai law had h.-.n obeyed in their
districts in the South. The judicial
branch has dodged the issue in all
caaes brought involving southern d:s
franchlsement laws, thus by persist?

the nullification and emboldening the
nulliflera of the supreme law of the
