wanted 500, others we're satisfied with
so, and many took less. AS a matter
of fact, more than 1000 of them who
held out to the last minute, thinking
their votes would bring fancy prices,
were unable to vote at all, as the "Sys-
tenn" leaders, realizing that their leader,
John j. Mcclure. was Of the opinion
that their cause was lost one, would
not sacrifice money, aud bluffed their
way through to the end, managing to
keep the sellers out" from doing busi-
ness elsewhere.
One of McClure's leaders in the Sec
ond precinct of the Second Ward ad-
mitted buying forty.two colored votes
at $40 each and believed that he en-.
gineered good deal.
81 fooled the opposition when
bought them up. / knew that they
would pay big money and 1 closed
quick at $40 per head early IN the
morning before they got too smart"
Candy Bait for Women
In the Eighth. Ninth, Tenth and
Eleventh Wards the Negroes hung
around the corners in, droves., They
wouldn't listen to promises at all. They
hands before they would make a move
and they wanted plenty, too. Most
Of them also announced that they must
be paid for their wives vote, TOO, but
n majority Of them did not get a chance
to vote.
Candy was the bait for many Of the
women. In the Fifth Ward one Of the
leaders was passing around cigars. A
woman voter announced that she did
not smoke, but she did like candy. Ten
minutes later there were 100 one pound
boxes in that polling place and every
woman voter took home one pound Of
sweets. ...
A funny incident is related by ward
leader In the Ninth Ward. He sent
one Of his Negro henchmen to bring
out Negro woman and her two daugh-
ters. A few minutes later the hench-
man returned and announced that these
ladies were insistent that exactly three
tons of coal and one barrel Of flour
be placed in their cellar before they
came out to vote. They did not vote.
In the second precinct Of the Elev-
enth Ward Andrew johnson, of the Nc
Clure System" declared that local
labor leader had fifteen voters in tow
and demanded $15 per head for their
votes. He got $12, according to re-
ports.
1t was this way in virtually every
ward throughout the city. Even Mayor
Ramsey and Chief of Police Davenport,
who made several tours Of the city, were
apprised of the hold outs on the part
of so many Negroes and also of quite
few white voters. Both of the off
cials appeared amused at the sltua-
ton.
Nor were these officials in the least
disturbed when told by various other
precinct LEADERS that the Negroes would
not vote unless they were paid. They
were mostly concerned in seeing that
order was preserved. Several minor
disturbances were reported from the
Ninth. Tenth and Eleventh Wards. This
was quickly quelled by deputy sheriff,
under the command Of Sheriff Albert
r. Granger.
