The suffers of the big register are wor-
ried. They have good reason for being so.
Honest men are on guard, and it is their
purpose that no violator of the law shall
escapa. The purity of elections law
| wasn't passed for the mere fun of the
thing-at least the Nou-Partisans do not
| think so. 1t is good law, and therefore
| it will surprise no one if scores of political
rogues should go to Jail and the peniten-
tiary within the next thirty days. 1t is no
| secret that men who occupy places of trust
have merited the severest punishment
provided for by the law.
The cardinal points of the aforesa id law,
as given above, will be kept in sight by
many honest citizens who are determined
that city aud Stats government shall not
| be stolen by means OF chlcanery, such as
| is known TO exist.
The suffers have received the wages of
their sins. They have nothing more to
| gain. They know they are marked men
and they will not dare risk their liberty
| for the sake of carrying out bad bargain.
They are marked and indellbiy marked.
! Hundreds of them have been photographed
| by snap shots.
| When they go near the polls and attempt
| to vote they will be nailed 10 the wall of
good law that hedges about suffers.
One man is now serving ten years
! sentence for illegal voting two years ago.
| There IS room IN the penitentareS for
hundreds of that kind.
Judge Wallace does not like suffers.
! He has no sympathy TO waste on thieves
of American rights. He will give the po-
litical footpads the extreme penalty of the
| law.
The people are in earnest this time. Il
legal voters Will attempt to carry ont tn cir
ubiquitous bargains at their peril.
1t is no disgrace but an honor to be a
detective In the cause of honor. Suffers
may look for detective and a denouDcer
of crime under every hat. within every
coat The watchers are legion.
PARAGRAPH al. quoted from in the
above synopsis, is Que of great import
! ance. Railway bosses aud bosses of every
kind will not court the penitentiary ia
vain il they attempt to dictate how men in
their employ shall vote. II applies to cor
porations as we'll as individuals. and will
be strictly enforced.
Barclay Henley, candidate on the Non
Partisan ticket for the office of Dis trict
Attorney, knows that his name has been
jugsled on the official ticket. In an inter
view yesterday he said:
81 could have had Evans, the Regis trar.
arrested for malfeasance in office if
would have taken the trouble. He has
deliberately and without reason placed the
name of John Heensn on the ticket simply
for the purpose OF running my name over
on the next column so as to make it ap-
pear lost. Heenan is not a candidate and
his name was placed on the ticket in spite
of his legal protest. l have no doubt blu!
will lose 1000 votes just by an ov ersigh1
, of the voters on this account. l ha We lega
grounds for the arrest and prosecution oil
Evans If l we're so minded, but | have moi
the time to devote to it.
"Tbere is one thing, however, which
; you can say to the public" Mr.. Henley
went on. "The suffers will be prosecutel
without mercy. 1t matters not whether
am elected or not, / will give my time anC
. services to the good work of purifying th'
ballot, and it will be sorry day for Tx
illegal voter. We have spotted a grea
number of suffers and these will be ar
. rested the very moment they attempt Il
vote. The citizens are in earnest abou
this thing and they don't propose to b.
robbed OF their rights. The Non-Parti
T sans have enough volunteer watchers t
!, cover all the voting places. They know
the suspects and the first head that DOB
up for illegal voting will be taken by TIT
police and promptly prosecuted.
| "Will you prosecute Registrar Evans 10
his action in regard to your candidacy?
! was asked.
Yes, l WILL" was Mr.. Henley's reply
Il will call him to task Immediately afte
the election. 1t is too late now to do any
thing in that direction before the election
1t doesn't matter whether l am elected o
not. / shall take steps TO viDdicate th
t law in this case. even if have to do 1t a
alone"
