BANKERS TO BE CALLED
TO TELL WHAT THEY KNOW

~ vital NNSV
Danville, ILL.,, Jan. 23.-The Vermil-
lion county grand jury will make its
first plunge into the investigation of
alleged traffic in votes by calling six
bankers in Danville, including e. x. Lee
seur, president of the Danville National
and soninlaw of Speaker Joseph G.
Cannon. Politicians who are said to
have handled money for candidates
were assured that immunity baths
probably could be arranged and that
the only sufferers would be the voters
who sold out.
The other bankers who will be called
with President Leseuer are said to be
G. E. English, president, and L. d. Gass.
cashier, OF the First National; c. V.
McClenathan. cashier of the Danville
National bank; M. E. King. president
Of the Second National, the Cannon
bank, and M. j. Wolford, president of
the Palmer National. All of them were
on the bond Of Hardy H. Whitlock, the
former treasurer of Vermillion coun-
ty, who left office $4,000 short and who
fed from Illinois.
Cannon Was on His Bond.
Joseph G. Cannon was another of
Whitlocks bondsmen, but cannot be
called as a grand jury witness owing
to his official duties at Washington.
Another bondsman, Wiley Fowler, died
recently These bondsmen have made
good every cent stolen from the county,
but that will not prevent the indict-
ment and prosecution of Whitlock il 1t
is shown that the $27, 800 was converted
to his own use. The bankers are not
charged with vote buying, but that
prevailing practice is blamed for the
downfall of Whitlock. He wiped out
his own resources buying the Office OF
sheriff and treasurer and in trying last
September to win at the primaries the
republican nomination for sheriff.
which in the county, Is equivalent to
election. The Whitlock case is the
logical opening for the grand jury vote
traffic investigation.
The grand jury Is composed of two
bankers, five Danville business men,
four who are in business in other towns
in the county and IL farmers.
Used Soldiers Home Voter
One phase OF the investigation that
holds peculiar interest will be that OF
the manipulation of the vote Of the
$500 veterans Of the civil war at the
soldiers home The majority of this
vote is said to follow the bidding OF
what is known as the federal clique. In
county elections the vote is sometimes
traded to the county clique.
There were several hot fights at the
primary elections, Cannon struggling
with Henry b. Downs for the nominal
ton to congress and receiving AHA
votes to his opponents 1924. At the
November election something more
than $4,000 votes were cast. 35 per cent
of which are said to have been pur-
or another Cannon received 1856,
votes against his opponents 1880. or
the Cannon votes, 1854 were from dis
tricts outside of Danville.

CITY ATTORNEY IS
FIRST TO WEAKEN
IN DANvII lie CASE
Scandal Of Bribery and Corrup-
ton About to Be Unveiled,
Showing Debauchery
of the Ballot.

Danville, ILL.,, Jan. 2S.-City Attorney
Frank Jones, who managed the cam
paign of Sheriff John M. Shepard, to-
day made complete confession Of the
part he had taken ir. vote buying, both
In the primary and general election
and he announced he was willing to
go before the grand jury and tell all
he knew. The confession was made af-
ter a conference with his friends, who
told him 1t was the best thing to do.
Jones, who made his confession to
several newspaper men, and In the
presence of friends, said he bought
large number Of votes for Shepard and
had kept a memorandum of the names
of the men he bought and the amounts
paid each, but a few days ago he had
destroyed 1t. However. he said he be-
lieved he could remember a number OF
them and was willing to go before the
grand jury and tell them.
Wants Everybody to Tess.
Jones also suggested that there be
a meeting Of all successful and de-
feated candidates and ward captains
and that resolution be adopted to go
before the grand jury and tell every
thing Jones says there is no doubt
in his mind that hundreds Of names
Of men who have sold their votes are
known to candidates and politicians.
The confession has created a sensa-
ton and II is expected that numerous
others will follow from men who hope
to receive immunity from the state.
Jones has been city attorney nearly
two years. He admits that re used
money on his own election, but does not
remember the amount. He told one
newspaper man that II would run to
almost $4,000. His office pays 500
month and is for two years.
Mayor Plat Is anxious that the mass
meeting be held. He was elected hearty
two years ago and 1t was asserted at
the time that great deal OF money
was spent in his behalf.
Sheriff Admits Bribery.
Sheriff Shepard also admitted that
he had bought votes and that he had
kept a list of the names Of the men he
purchased up until a few days ago,
when he destroyed the list.
When asked If he would go before
the grand jury the sheriff stated that
he would not. When told that he
might be granted immunity II he made
his confession to that body, he stated
that he had nothing to fear, that II
there was an indictment returned
against him, 1t would be impossible to
obtain jury In this county to convict
any man who bought votes.
1t was reported that an indictment
had been voted against Hardy Whit
lock, former county treasurer, who was
nearly $4,000 short in his accounts
when he turned his office over to his
successor The indictment has not
been returned in court.
