Corrupt Practice Act.

A new and novel feature of the
present campaign which is bound to
be felt in the election Is the ''eor-
rupt practices act" passed by the
last Legislature and now first opera
tive. The object of the law, of
course, is to prevent as far as posi-
BILE the improper use OF money in in
f1uencing the voter, though its only
practical effect will be to reduce the
amount so used to the absolute min
imum of expenditures for legitimate
and necessary purposes. Under this
law no candidate for any Office in
this state is allowed to expend in
securing either nomination or cleo
ton more than 800 for 5000 votes
or less; for each 100 voters over
5000 and under $4,000, 50 flor each
100 voters over $4,000 and under
5000, 81 and for each 100 voters
over $4,000, so cents-''the number
OF voters to be ascertained by the
total number of votes cast for all the
candidates for such office at the last
preceding regular election held to fill
the same, and any payment, contri-
button or expenditure, or promise,
agreement or offer to pay contribute
Or expend any money or valuable
thing in excess of said sum, for such
objects or purposes, is hereby de-
| clared unlawful. Laws 1898, p.
100.
The violation of this law is de
clared a misdemeanor and the guilty
person, whether he be a candidate o.
the friend of a candidate, is subjeo'
to Imprisonment in jail for not less
than one month and not more thai
one year. The candidates and al
party managers r watching eacf
other closely with the view of check
ing future violations of the new Law
by reporting all violators to the
Grand Jury for indictment, and THU
being the case the greatest eautio,
and secrecy mark the movements o

The Hon. Champ Clark has just
completed the delivery of the first
installment of a series of fourteen
speeches before the people of Au'
drain County. The first installment
consisted of twelve good old fash
Toned Democratic stump speeches,
each one two hours long. He has just
crossed the line into gallant little
Rails, where he will make eight
speeches, returning to Audrain to
finish up his campaign in this coun-
ty by speaking al Farber and Van
dalia. Mr.. Clark has certainly de-
served well of the people Of this dis-
trict and county, if for nothing more
than the vigorous campaign he has
made under trying circumstances.
He has made two long speeches
daily since the opening of the cam
paign six weeks ago; he will keep
this up until the day of the election.
No other man in Missouri, or in the
Mississippi valley, has put in as
many hours speaking as the men,
Der from the Ninth District. He
has not been led away from his own
people by fiatterlng invitations from
other States or other portions of this
State. He has preferred speaking
in vacant store rooms, school houses
and tents to the honest farmers of
the district,o o which he is SO proud,
to appearing before the vast audi
ences of cities that would be glad to
honor him as their guest. The State
Democratic Committee has received
five times as many calls for Champ
Clark as speaker than for any other
one man. Last week he turned
over to the State Committee nearly
four score invitations from other
States, which he desired the com
mittee should answer. Among these
was one 10 deliver six speeches in
William l.. Wilson's district, where
the eyes of the whole country would
have been upon him. Where he
could aid the campaign in the State
by going outside his own district,
and at the same time not neglect
the Ninth, he has done so, and has
always been met with large crowds
and much enthusiasm. When the
day Of the election comes he will have
made 10G speeches in this Congress-
ional district. Mr.. Clark is a firm
believer in hard work, and if there
be any virtue in it, his majority this
year will be twenty-five hundred
votes.
Mr.. Clark's work should be al
example to the party workers. Let
no Democrat who is interested in
the welfare of the county and State
remain at home on election day.
Turn out and give the lie to the
story that there is degeneration work.
