Judge to be of any value in enforcing

gives him controlling influence over

Corruption in Politics.

Corruption in politics has become so
common and popular in this section of
the Country that plenty of money and
willingness to put it in the campaign
are regarded as the chief qualifications
Tor office. In the present race for Cir
cult Judge in this district there has
been more talk about how much money
each candidate will put into the race
than there has been about the qualifi-
cations and fitness of the candidates
for the office of Circuit Judge. This
idea of money in elections to purchase
and influence voters exists among most
OF the people. The public press of the
district does not say word in advoca-
cy of pure elections. A great majority
OF the people are resting apparently
satisfied. The candidate who suggests
that the race for office should be made
in accordance with the laws of the land
is not regarded as practical politician.
Section six of our bill of rights which
provides that "All elections shall be
free and equal has received the prac-
tical construction that each candidate
or party may do with impunity what he
desires to secure his election.
Courts are created and held to pre-
vent injuries and to redress wrongs.
The criminal Courts are intended to pre-
vent and punish crime. The Circuit
Judge is the most important officer in
the State to enforce the criminal laws.
He should not go on the bench covered
up with violations of the election laws.
Our Constitution provides: every per-
son shall be disqualified from holding
any office of trusts or profit for the
term for which he shall have been elect.
ed who shall be convicted of having
given, or consented to the giving, offer
or promise of any money or other thing
of value, to procure his election, or to
influence the vote of any voter at such
election. The privilege of free suffer-
age shall be supported by laws regulat-
ing elections, and prohibiting, under
adequate penalties, all undue influence
thereon, from power, bribery, tumult
or other improper practices" (Presi-
dent constitution Section 1907 The
General Assembly in pursuance with !
this provision of the Constitution has
provided the following penalties:
'Sec. 1886 Kentucky Statutes. Any
person guilty of receiving a bribe for
his vote at an election, or for services
or influence in procuring vote or
votes at an election, shall be fined from
fifty to five hundred dollars, and ex-
cluded from Office and suffrage.

future, to the party influenced or in
