In that he is mistaken. Wo do not undertake to do anything of the kind. We only undertake to make the registration laws of States under the Constitution of the United States effective and to protect every citizen of every State. entitled to vote and to register under these laws. in the exercise of that highest right and privilege that belongs to him . so that when a citizen having the right to vote. like the Senator or myself. offers to register and is wrongfully refused on account of his race. color. or previous condition of servitude. be he white or black. be he Scandinavian or Slavonic.Caucasian or Mongolian.or whatever. his offer to do what the law requires him to do shall be taken as a performance. just as when I owe my friend money and it becomes duo and I offer to pay him and he refuses to take it. the law and justice both agree in saying that I have in fact paid it. and the offer of performance. so far as my rights are concerned. is equivalent to performance.
