“"The conclusion is inescapable that our State has the right to grant immunity to its citizens from being compelled to give testimony that will incriminate them, or to withhold that right, or to give it under certain conditions or subject to certain exceptions. The people of this State have chosen to give it subject to the exception with which we are here concerned [bribery of voters]. We cannot adjudicate on the wiseness of their action. The provisions are plain, unambiguous and subject to effective enforcement."”
