This case. decided by the supreme court of Wisconsin. declares a principle which disposes of tle question raised in this contest. Here the constitution of the State makes every voter of this class an agent to execute it. and plaes the burden upon him to lurnish the prerequisite evidence of his right to veto. The constitution does not say that he shall be required to produce his naturalization papers only when his vote is challenged. Biy that instrument lie is informed and challenged in advance of the election itself. and lie must approach the polls armed with such evidence as the supreme law commands him to produce is a condition precedent of his right to exercise the franchise of an elector. Our attention has not been directed to any *udicial authority in conflict with the authorities cited.
