TEST FBR U11RACY DOESNT GO LEGISLATU'RE STRUCK OUT PRO VISION FROM BILL, BUT IT STICKS ANYWAY. Helena, March 31.-(Special.)-The enrolled bill of senate bill No. 132, by Byrnes, amending the general regis tration laws, is wrong; the county clerks and recorders were right in be lieving the legislature had struck out section 26, providing for a literacy test. Though this was stricken out by the legislature, the clerk that en rolled the bill incorporated the sec tion anyway, and the question has arisen as to the status of the matter. Some lawyers are of the opinion the court cannot go behind the enrolled copy of the bill; while others insist the courts can refer to the journals of hduse and senate. It was over this very section that the mayoralty candidates in Butte held "a gentlemen's conference" the other evening,, at which it was agreed they would overlook any failure to comply with it. That this section was in the en rolled bill that Governor Stewart signed and deposited with Secretary of State Alderson was not discov ered until the day of the primaries last Monday, when the question was raised as to the validity of the primary elections for failure to observe the provisions of section 20.
