What Constitutes a Violation of
our Election Laws?

Mr. EDITOR: | beg to ask you what
act would constitute a violation OF our
present election laws?
There is a case | wish to cite and ask
if it was a violation of the law, and what
course would be proper FOR the officers
of our County to pursue.
The night before the election last
November, it is said certain gentleman
in the Eighth district went to certain
mans house during the night, called him
out of bed, and gave him a sample ballot
and ten dollar bill to vote it. On the
following morning, election day. the said
party came to the polls at lakewood with
the sample ballot and the ten dollar bill
and handed them over to we'll known
citizen. On this mans statement it
would have implicated parties in official
positions, therefore they hesitated in
| issuing warrant The man and his
| wife, who are said to be witnesses to the
| transaction, it is reported are perfectly
williog to go before the grand jury, and
testify TO these facts. Mr.. Editor. | ash
the question through your columns, il
| this Is violation OF the election laws
