have been rumors current that some OF
the directors were offered money to in
fuence their votes in the convention.
If bribery was accomplished or at.

reward of (slOO) one hundred dollars for
evidence to convict any one guilty OF
giving or Offering to give money to any
school director in Forest county on Tues
day, May I'd, 1911, or at any date prior
thereto to influence his vote for County

any director after May ID, 1911, money
for having voted for or against any can
didate for uperintendent
| further offer to contribute the sum OF
(SlOO) one hundred dollars toward fund
to be used to secure evidence to convict
any person or persons guilty of bribing
or attempting to bribe any school di-

others who believe that it is time the ille-
gal use of money in elections should be
stopped, and those guilty of such prac-
tice convicted and punished.
