Other gentlemen on that side of the Hall have denounced these election laws as degrading and hateful. What are these dreadful laws. sir ? The object. the letter. and the essence of them is to keep peace at the polls. to protect decent people who go there to vote. to. secure to each legal voter. native and foreign born alike. the right to vote once at each election and to have his vote counted. and to prohibit any person from voting more than once at the same election. "Only this. and nothing more." Mr. Chairman. the bill to repeal the law authorizing troops to be used when necessary to repel the armed enemies of the United States and to keep the peace at the polls is not before the House at this time. but the provisions for repeal in that bill and in this are only different parts of the same schenme. When one is up for discussion they are all up.
