if it is decided in their favor, to register if they have not registered, and then to vote in the November election, Now that is the purpose of having that special session which the Supreme Court was kind enough to set one week in advance of the regular calendar which commences on October 15. We are given until the end of this week to file our brief, and then the Attorney General must have his in one week later, or by October 6.
