and bankers use this inthienceto intimidate
voters. In this way many were prevented
or at least the democrat legislature felt they
would be prevented, from registering as social-
ists. The law com pels.you to vote at the
primary as you register. The comb;na-

enough of you from voting so as to. force jour
