THERE is A REASON.

1t has developed that the prompting
of the election swindling in New. Or
leans was suggested with deliberation.
There was no opposition to Judge Som
erville, and the vote polled was light.
In the precincts where the frauds were
perpetrated the intent was to keep the
returns up to about what they had been
in past elections, and this could be pos
sible only by the padding of the returns.
In this swindling the frauds had not an
ticipated detection. When these frauds
were exposed they sought extenuation
and clemency through the plea of guilty
OF minor offense
