A GOLDEN SHOWER.
OPEN BRIBERY CHARGED IN
A NUMBER OF STATES.
Trust Dollars Came Into the Lap
of the Republican Commit
tee Thicker Than
Doughnuts.

Mr.. Frank Richardson, the Wash
ington representative of the Baltimore
Sun, furnishes some interesting gossip
from which the following extracts are
taken:
"To return to the question of the
systematic bribery of voters every
where, so graphically dwelt upon in
the Sun editorially, will tell you in
what states it ran riot on election day,
outside of Maryland In West Virgin
ia, in Ohio, in Indiana, in Illinois, in
Kansas, in Nebraska, in South Dakota
and in New York. There were others,
of course, where bribery was more or
less largely resorted to, but it was
most glaring in the states named. 1t
may be surprise to people generally
to hear about this up state in New
York, but the business is carried on in
so bold and unblushing manner that
the bargains are made in sight and
hearing of all those around. 1t is not
an uncommon spectacle to see an old
farmer in western New York drive up
W. tllC pOllo WlUu nlS SOuSs pllC
reins over pair of horses which be-
Ion to him, get out and negotiate
with the vote buyer for the votes of
himself and his boys. For this state
ment have the authority of one of
the most eminent citizens of Buffalo.
"Whatever may be said of Mr.. Bry
ans doctrines or his utterances there
is this which must be said in his IA
vor. not one of the millions of votes
cast for him represented bargain and
sale. Undoubtedly democratic mana
gers have been as guilty as republicans
in this horrible traffic, but as it hap
pens this time the democrats had no
money. Their campaign committees
from one end OF the country to the 9TH
er were literally riding under bare
poles. From Mr.. Jones, chairman of
the national committee, down, so slen-
der was the eXchequer they were all
compelled to practice the most rigid
economy in every item OF expenditure.
They could not even have all the print
ing done which they would have liked.
1t is said that the contributions which
came to the national democratic COM
mittee did not in all exceed 5000, 200,
while the stream which flowed into
the Golfers of the republican commit
tee aggregated Sl5,000,000. What may
be styled legitimate expenses could
not possibly have absorbed more than
half million of this sum. Just think
of the golden shower which was left to
rain down on the heads of the venal
voters, and how .sickening it is to
claim the people have endorsed the
administration.
"The dollars which the trusts threw
into the lap of the republican commit
tee came thicker than doughnuts. So
much of the treasure is left that the
national committee ia Maryland and
other state committees propose to keep
open house in the entire four years in
terval between now and the next pres
idential election"

Sleeping late of Sunday morning

ROUNDLAP PREMIUM $2.44 NET.
That's What Farmers Made by Using the
StarksyilIe ROundIap Press.

The Southern Farm Gazette of Stark
Vile, Miss, published the following
about test made to show the relative
value of roundlap and square bales;
'.The first day the roundlap plant was
operated was Friday, October II. The
great majority of the cotton put up on
the round bale press that day was sold
for 10. 35 cents Some of these samples
taken at random were carried to w.
w. Scales, one of the leading cotton
buyers of this section, who was asked
what it's value was in the square form,
He said $50 would be the best our mar
ket could pay. The same samples were
taken to Stern 4 Goodman, also large
cotton buyers, and they, believing it
was square cotton, made go as their
best offer. This showed difference
Of IS points, or about 81 % bale. The
next day cotton was lower, and the
round bale brought 1918 on an aver
age, while the same grades of square
cotton brought 9.375, or III points diff
