ANTI BRIBERY LEAGUE
PRESIDENTS STATEMENT

Robert G. Houston Of George
town, president of the Anti Bribery
League Of the State Of Delaware,
issued a statement this week which
shows that he does not regard the
present Democratic cry of bribery
against the Republicans as coming
from a source that is untainted by
corrupt practices at elections. He
also makes it clear it is not his pur-
pose to permit the Democrats to
use the Anti Bribery League to boil
ster up the congressional contest OF
Robert c. White, Democrat, against
Representative William H. Heald,
Republican. Discussing the cleo
ton recently held, and the results
attending it, he said:
Sussex County is naturally a
Republican county. While the
Democrats claim that it was in
years past naturally Democratic
and while the elections disclosed
the fact that it went Democratic by
majorities, yet this is
largely accounted for by the fact
that in the days of such Democratic
victories a large number of Repub-
lican voters were disqualified by
the old delinquent laws passed and
maintained by the Democratic party.
AS soon as the Republican party I
was able to qualify this vote, which /
was first in 1892, l guess Sussex
county at once became a doubtful
county and soon was in the Repub /
ican column.
That there has been in Sussex }
county a large venal vote there is
10 doubt. Part of this vote so con-
;idered has been the colored vote,
mounting to about two thousand
n the county. In this connection
t must be borne in mind that this
s a Republican vote. When Re
publican money is plentiful they
ire remembered when not they
,ote the Republican ticket just the
anne. The rest of the venal vote
eally has no politics, but for years
10 doubt voted the Republican
icket. It is an accepted fact that

vas that of money by the Republi-
ans. In the last two campaigns
Milford chronicle., 1910-12-23

abolition of the use Of money would
work to the advantage Of the Dem
ocratic party. 1 have been more
and more convinced, Of this fact in
the last four years. A number of
prominent and leading Democrats
and Republicans are heartily and
honestly in favor Of preventing in
every way possible, the use of money
by either party. OF course their
conviction in this matter grows out
of their conception of the real duties
of citizenship and the obsolute ne
cessity of keeping the electorate
pure and untainted. But this argu-
ment appeals to a very few, and the
league has felt that the fear Of the
law, which is the deterrent, after
all, of most of crimes, was the only
way to bring the unrighteousness ,
of bribery home to the average voter. !
That is the line Of attack that has
been pursued. OF course anyone
with legal procedure can
realize how almost impossible it is
to secure sufficient evidence to con-
vict. If one man undertakes to
bribe another, or if one man offers
to sell to another, and no one else
is present, and of course that is the
usual mode of procedure, if the one
Or the other complains against the
other, the only witness to the con-
tract are the two parties, both of
whom are guilty under the law. Iflt
he accused denies the accusation
It leaves the evidence Of the COM
olaint unsupported. So you can
-eadily understand how next to inn
possible it is to secure sufficient
evidence necessary in court of
aw to secure conviction. We have
ipent a good deal of money hunting ,

Milford chronicle., 1910-12-23

however, there mas been a chang
in this vote, and in the last electio
there is no doubt that a large ma
jority of these white venal vote
voted the Democratic ticket, Il
Georgetown hundred it is fact tina
at least two-thirds of what is know
as the purchasable vote voted th'
Democratic ticket in the last elec
ton.
1T is we'll to keep this in mind
in analyzing the arguments OF the
Democrats. If this venal vote, as
has been proclaimed by the Demo
cratic party for the last ten years,
has been voting the Republican
ticket, and voting it for money,
why, especially in this campaign,
has it voted the Democratic ticket?
There was no campaign of public
ity carried on to any extent by the
Democratic party in the political
contests this fall. There was no
argument that the Democrats ad-
vanced that would appeal to this
venal class of voters. Remember
ing that the colored venal vote
will and does vote the Republican
ticket without money remembering
also that the venal white vote, be-
cause of the association in years
past, could be considered naturally
a Republican vote, the only logical
of the change of the
latter vote to the Democratic party
in the last campaign is that the
same influence which has always
the white venal voters in
the past has also controlled them in
this election, but from the Demo
cratic side. As a matter of fact,
men who have never been known
to vote except for money, have
voted the Democratic ticket in this |
district the last two campaigns.
"The Anti Bribery League was

The idea that the respective parties |
should be induced, of their own vo-

seemed ready to do as soon as the
