Honest Election Insisted On.


In its issue of April the Times
Democrat says editorially:
"The difficulties over the incor-
poration of the town OF Gretna seem
to have been satisfactorily arranged
and people Of that ward or district
of Jefferson Parish will soon be able
to establish municipal government
if an honest, unofficial election can
be held there"
Can an honest election be held in
Gretna?
Is it possible to hold an honest
election anywhere in the State OF
Louisiana?
Will not the faction, or the side
or the clique, or the gang, which
has the most money control the
election?
The cry and complaint following
an election in Louisiana is fraud
always some kind of fraud or
cheating" or 'swindling." When
are these dishonest methods al
elections TO stop, or are such ras-
cally tricks to be tolerated until, in
their rottenness, there shall follow
the only course which shall check
and stop such outrageous proceed
ings. In closing its editorial the
Times Democrat observes:
I'VE are satisfied that the re-
quirements of the Governor will be
fully carried out in Gretna and that
the election there will be honest
and above suspicion; that all fac
tons will be represented at the
polls, and that fraud Of every kind
will be rendered impossible. II will
be good news for Jefferson, and we
hope that the idea will spread to
this side of the river. We have
never heard before of Governor
insisting on the sine qua non thai
an election should be honestly con-
Quoted, but such requirement Is
evidently necessary in some sec
tions of Louisiana, and, If the idea
works out well in this instance, the
requirement that the election shall
be honestly conducted should be in
sisted on in all cases, as 1t will avoid
many scandals, much litigation and
quarrels over Offices, and some ex-
pense to the State"
And we may add: And it will be
good news for all the State of
Louisiana to be told that there has
been held an election in Louisiana
which was honest, above suspicion
and without scandal"
The Times Democrat in its COM
ment on honest elections says:
1.-THE Louisiana election law, as|
interpreted by the courts, has
proved so vague, weak and uncer-
tain that even in the case of pres
idential election gross frauds, it
seems can not be prevented or even
punished. II elections of this im-l
portance are unsafe, how much
more dangerous must unO1flcial
elections be regarded which arel
surrounded by none of the dignity
or formalities of the law"
And finally, who is to be held to
account. who are responsible for
these frauds, these swindlings and
these dishonest elections?
Until men of good repute shall
not lend themselves to the corrupt
ing of the electorate. until men of
good repute shall not only denounce
such crimes as the purchase, the
bribing of voters, but shall demand
the prosecution Of the briber and
the bribed, dishonest elections shall
continue to flourish in Louisiana
regardless of law.
