Punishment OF the Election CrooI,e

Mansfield Enterprise: Tru" Il"
his word, District Attorney Adams
has instituted prosecutions against
those who violated The election law
in New Orleans At Tie, late rI"CI1"o
and Governor Sanders has ordered
The Attorney General to rcli"No lI"
District Attorney and take charg" "i
The eases. This seems 10 b" fragrant
attempt of The executive 10 nt"rjrtr
with the Judiciary Of the state a"d
hence is an all important maji"r.
The specific charge is that I"r}'
number of voters, who had register
ed under the educational quaIIr"
ton, called upon some person 10
prepare their ballots for them. Whtn
they could do If for themselves.
The supposed object being that wien
the bosses purchased vote llI' y
could require the men 10 ask jh"u
10 fill out their ticket, and thus Iilr\
would know that the vOicr "drlIV"r-
ed the goods" Our election law pre-
tends to insure the secrecy Of the
ballot, but Sanders legislature
amended il so that the voter could
ask anyone to fill out his ticket for
him. The sole purpose Of the change
seems 10 have been 10 enable III"
purchaser Of votes to have n vii
ness 10 see that the contract was
carried out. 'fhe bosses seem 10
think that il was the practice OF
many voters 10 seI-their votes as Of
ten MS they could and then vote for
whom they pleased. The constlju-
ton provides for a secret ballot, but
the new law sci this idea aside en-
tirely and was evidently intended 10
facilitate bribery oil elections. W"
believe that The Sanders law is I'M
constitutional, under the provision
that requires that the "ohiect and
purpose Of every bill shall he cx-
pressed IN its title" In this case,
the title Of The bill should have
been.
A Bill--l'o abolish the secret ballot
Of all primary elections in this
state, when The same interferes
