New Haven. Oct. 1O.-The wholesale destruction of the machinery of the States Attorneys office, as made pos sible by the passage of the act con- corning corrupt practices at election, caucuses and primaries at the 1909 session of the Legislature, and the repeal of the act passed in 1907, giv- ing the States Attorneys wider pow CT to inquire into alleged corrupt practices, has just been brought to light as a result of the many bribery charges at political conventions heard about the state and especially in New Haven and Fairfield counties. The Journa1-Courier this morning places comprehensively before it's read CTS for the first time the re1narkab ble conditions of which the people of the State. and, in fact, most of the lead Ing lawyers have been ignorant, and shows for the first time the absolute heIplessness of those who would bring to the bar of justice the men accus- ed of buying votes.
