ton amcng friends?
What is demanded is that when .
man is convicted for a crime of tins
sort-padding the election ,ists-ant
is removed from office he should be
forever dcbarred from again holding
office in this state. The fact that 4
man was removed for padding the
election lists and then the voters re-
turned him to. office is proof that the
element benefitting by this trickery
and fraud are willing to keep just
such a man in office. That is one

that poll taxes shall be paid months

as possible the payment of such taxes
