BARRETT URGES METHODS
TO STOP VOTE BUYING
Declares That This Practice Is
Very Prevalent in American
Politics

UNION CITY, Ca. April 24-Declar-
ing that vote-buying is a frequent
ovil in America, President Charles s.
Barrett, of the National Farmers
union, has issued statement to mem
bers. telling them they are under obli-
cations to do their utmost to drive
the practice from American politics
his statement follows:
ITO the Officers and Members of the
Farmers Union: During the past few
months papers in America have TEEN
ed with accounts of vote-buylng ami
selling in Adams county, Ohio. The
country affects to have been scandal.
lied as it has not been in years.
Traffic in the franchise is not pc
culiar to Adams county, or to Ohio, or
TO any other American state. At the
risk of being termed a sensationalist,
L assert deliberately that 1T is preva-
lent in a great many counties in the
majority, perhaps all, of the American
safes.
ASKS AID OF UNION.
II choose this particular time Iol
drawing the attention of the Farmers
union to this evil because it is an OFF
year in politics. If / waited for an
election year, with politics and parti-
sanship raging, l would be accused OF
upduly dabbling in politics. AS 1t is
The Farmers union is assumed to
be a great moral force. That is why
its members should concern themselves
with scourging bribery from American
politics.
Our organization is also a great edu-
cational movement. We shall not full
fiji the first qualification of that mis-
sion until we purify the ballot As
long as our men and boys see vote
buying and selling going on, all the
education we preach into one ear will
go out of the other.
u make these statements regarding
barter and sale of votes with the
greatest elaboration. l know whereof
/ speak MY citizenship has been held
mainly, in three counties of Georgia
In the county in which l was born
a small multitude of white men were
known to be willing to sell their
votes.
In the county where i spent 10 years
of my life a similar percentage OF
white voters were purchaseable. IN the
county in which 1 have now resided for
about three years, in the neighborhoed
of zoo white votes are regularly on
the market
Conditions are no worse in these than
in other Georgia counties. They are
no worse than in many counties
throughout the country. Human nature
does not vary with geography, nor is
1t altered by craftsmanship.
Around large number of court
houses in this country you will fino
one man, or one or two men. who know
just about how many white voters in
the county will sell their votes.

STRIPPING must serve his sentence
So DEGREES Governor Brown, the highest
authority to whom the convicted man,
fugitive from justice for IL years. could
appeal.
Governor Browns denial of the petit
ton for Stripling's pardon, recommended
by the prison commission of Georgia. was
made public Saturday afternoon and Civ
en- to all the morning dailies of the state.
Many of them received it in advance,
with the embargo that it be held in abso-
Lutte confidence until this morning.
1t is said that Governor Browns rea-
sons for holding his DECISIONS publication
until Sunday was because of the length
of 1t, and because he desired it repro
duced in full, so that he and his position
would be thoroughly understood and not
misjudged.
The denial is confirmation of what
The Journal predicted Immediately after
Striplirg's case was heard by the gov
ernor, about ten days ago. The Journal
quoted the governor then in some signif-
cant utterances which he spoke during
the hearing before him. and let the con-
illusions take care care of themselves. 1t
was ted at the end of that story that
the only vital issue seemingly remaining
was this: What shall be done to help
Stripling's family? That is the only is
sue now
Ii is said there has been a strange re-
vulsion of sentiment recently, on the
part of ii vociferous element in Geor-
gias population Shortly after Stripping
was arrested, the prevailing elamor was
for his immediate pardon. But 1t is said
that during the past three weeks only
two letters urging the pardon have been
received at the governors office, while
several have been received every day
protesting against it. 1t is said that a
chief of police who circulated one of the
petitions filed with the state authori-
ties, wrote to ask that his name be
stricken from the petition, and added
that at least a third of those who signed
1t with him were declaring that their
convictions had changed to the reverse.
1t is reported that Governor Brown
indicated a more lenient disposition to-
ward STRIPPING than his decision shows.
but that he refrained from giving it ex-
preston because he did not wish in any
way to bequeath an obligation to any of
his successors in the governors chair.
The governor is said to have inclined to-
ward a recommendation that some years
hence Striplin's life sentence be COM
muted, if in the meantime the prisoner
has done nothing to forfeit the clemency;
but that he concluded to say nothing
that would embarrass his successors
However it may be, it's thumbs down"
for Thomas Edgar Stripping, ex-police
chief of Danville, Va.

INDIANAPOLIS, April 24-Leo M.
Rappaport counsel for the International
Association of Bridge and Structural Iron
Workers, today secured a writ of replevin
In the justice Of the peace court for the
books that were seized by the police Sat
upday night in the offices of the associa-
ton in this city. A constable appeared
at grand jury room with the writ which
had been issued against County Prosecu-
tor Baker and superintendent of Police
Hyland, but when the prosecutor told the
officer If he attempted to serve the writ
he would be in contempt of court, the
constable left the building.
Superintendent of Police Hyland was
summoned before the grand jury with the
books seized Saturday night, and an in
vestigation was started by the grand
jury. Prosecutor Baker says the investi-
cation will be along two lines. First,
whether the officers of the International
Association of Bridge and Structural
Iron Workers have any knowledge OF the
explosives that were found in the base
ment of the building where their offices
are located. and second, whether the enc
mics of the iron workers organization
had anything to do with the placing of
the explosives in the building.
Investigations declared to be directed
toward exposing persons ant methods re-
sponsible for so explosions and great
property loss in various parts of the
country during the last two years con-
