For Purity Of Elections

The Supreme Court has come down
strongly upon three men accused Of
violating it's recent injunction in be-
half Of q fair and honest election.
They have been sentenced to pay
heavy fines and spend year in jail
The chances seem to be that the
decision will stand, because the fed
sral courts are not prone to intefere
in cases Of contempt where the tri.
bunsl passing the sentence is the
supreme court Of state.
II this shall result in fairer and
more honest elections, it should be
dropped and political parties should
be dropped and political parties
should be unknown.
Each and every party worthy Of
the name should strive for decency
and honesty in the suffrage, for that
is the foundation stone of represen-
tstive government like ours.
Republicans and democrats or any
others guilty of preventing fiee
vote or an honest count should be
given q penalty sufficiently large and
certain to prevent repetition of the
occurrence.
