who a a business of selling then
influence in politics for money. They
do not call it that. but say they accept
money for the time they lose from

the money is pure bribery and not for
employment. II good men OF al
factions should unite To put an enc

and other cities. 1t Is not confined to
Raleigh. for there has come to b
places in the country districts where
money IS used TO corrupt voters anc
