Election Frauds IN fsyette.
The following from the Fayette Sun
throws illumination upon the methods
by which elections are conducted In
Fayette county, which vies with Nc
Dowell county az the banner Repuhl-
licaa county Of the state:
Whoa after the election Of 1910 Ssgsn
tic election frauds were brought TO light
in Adams county, Ohio, here hundreds
of men were fined and disfranched for
bartering their right OF suffrage, the
world stood aghast at the Wholesale
corruption.
Since that time the searchllght Of
truth and investigator has been
thrown on Republican politics In this
county and condition found to exist
beside which the Adams county affair
pales into insigniiicance
In the primary for county offices ana
later In the congressional primary o:
1910 here, every letter OF the corrupt
practice act VAS violated. The corrup-
tion is so fresh in the minds Of the
people that 1t does not need 10 be re-
told aud 300 or 400 indictments could
have been made aud con, lctions seeur-
ed, growingon Of this corrupt primary
out nothing was done.
In the general election v hich follow
ed every letter Of the election laws
were violated aud II has taken the pre-.
sent contest 10 show up this rottenne-s
In aliits bideousness. IL is n safe and
conservative estimate to say thnt at
least l 600 persons were registered who
were not entitled to register and one
half OF these registered knowing they
were not entitled and are guilty Of an
otiense.
Ia our opinion al least rs men vioIat-
cd the law ia aiding and procuring
these men 10 register. Fully 500 illegal
votes were cast and Of this number
there couId have been at least $50 cor.
victed.
There were at least $50 eases Of per-.
jury and POSSIBLY 100 cases Of false
swearing.
There could have been $50 iudiet-
ments convictions for electioneering
within the go foot limit. The gang did
not consider the law In this regard but
carried on their electioneering in many
cases right up to The ballot box.
1t can be stated that at least 200 men
I could be Indicted for having liquor
about the polling places.
At least l 600 indictments could have
been made for bribery growing out OF
the registration and election.
Twenty-Five people could have been
indicted for faIsifying election returns.
/ A number, la our opinion, could be
indicted for theft Of court papers.
Fully so indictments could be made
for election officers violating their oath.
| WeKnow at least Is cases Of nolaries
public making false certificates Ia
plain violation of their OATH
We have heard OF a number OF cases
Of intimation.-w men were afraid
to vote their sentiments and cocrced
into voting for the machicc.
To sum up IT IL not saying too much
to say that fully 400 indictments could
be made growing out OF the primary
and general election OF 1910 aud back
Of all this bribery, whisky, perjury
false returns, false swearing, illegal
registrstion, Illegal electioneering, IL
legal votings intimidation, etc., stands

The first big event of the day was

hunters took four successive ive-foot
fences.
One hunter entered among the
tw-entv-seven was Nicholas, whose
right hind foot caught between the
bars of a fence yesterday and threw
both him and MS rider. They had to

Eange BOARD of Education will aban-
don a plan to enlarge the Park Ave-
hue Public School to accommodate
the pupils from the Day street build
ing, which is to be Used for a City
Hall Instead the board will erect a
new grammar school for seventh and
eighth grade pupils In the rear Of the
present High School.
The building committee, consisting
of Commissioners f. M. Struck,

gate. met last night at the latter's
home and will recommend that in
stead of attempting to enlarge the
Park Avenue School by spending an
entire appropriation of $160,000, and
perhaps $4,000 additional, four class
rooms will be added the Park avenue
building and the older rooms put in
proper condition. The new structure
will be placed on the High School
playf1eld, and additional property
IN Cleveland street will be secured.
Fhe Park avenue enlargement was
opposed some time ago by Sumter l.,

degree murder In connection with tne
shooting OF Alvin =. zoilinger, adver-
Using solicitor, In q city park lass
May, will corroborate testimony OF a
woman detective who testified at the
Criminal Court here that the defend
ant said she confessed that she shot
the advertising man to protect ner
fiance, Jerome Quigiey. hotel clerk
when she resumed her story on the
stand today, was an open question
among those who have been following
the testimony.
Not unlike yesterday, hundreds Oh
women were anxious to hear the re-
mainder of the young woman's testi-
mony and crowded into the court
room when the doors were thrown
open. Dozens Of women. eager to Sc
cure points of vantage, waited at the
doors of the courtroom more than
two hours before time for converting
of court and many carried camp stools
and lunches.
Women ThronE Courtroom.
Shortly after Miss Farley and Quls-
ly were arrested for the shooting Miss
Farley told Chief Carter thai she
shot Zollinger. Early in the trial the
defense attempted to prove that she
made this confession under pressure
when she was led to believe that
Quigley, whom she was engaged to
marry, was likely to be held for the
shooting. A woman detective from
Cleveland testified that Miss Farley
told her while in Jail that h made
the confession to protect Quigley.
Yesterday Miss Farley testified that
the shooting-was accidental.
The test of Miss Farley's story is
expected to come today when h is
submitted to a gruelling cross-exam-
nation by Prosecutor Turner. The
State will endeavor to entangle her,
the only witness to the shooting. con-
corning details.
