It provides in what case you shall go the courts. and it makes provision by which a person having a certain belief or doing a certain act shall. without the intervention of a court. be disfranchised. In the case of guardianship. in the case of conviction of crime. other provisions apply. In those cases the courts are invoked. but in the case of insanity. which is a condition of body. and also in the case of Indians and Mongolians and of the Mormons. it expressly strikes at the interposition of the courts. I have looked at the provision of this constitution in regard to the jurisdiction of the supreme court. and in my judgment. unless a law is passed very carefully guarded. the entire decision of the facts will rest or may rest with boards of election officers. and so strip the courts of all real jurisdiction. I believe the gentlemen say that this will not be done.
