they liked. There being no mis-.
representation, the charge of
fraud simply shows the source
from which it came.
While talking of frauds, let
US call your attention to one
scheme in Springfield that peo-
pie denounced al fraud Of the
first water-the so-called COM
munity sale put on sometime e
ago.
Taking Webster's definition of
a fraud-"deception deliberat e.
Iy practiced with a view to an
unlawful or unfair advantage, {"
we will recall the community sale
scheme, as follows:
Certain parties contracted ID
pay a certain young girl 5000
to 60 in as a contestant for the
car on her own hook. the oar to
be turned over for the $50. 90
when she won it. Then your
organ announced one year sub.
so many votes, first year votes to
double for q two-year SUBJ. SEC
ond yeal votes to double for
for three-year SUBJ. etc. Thus
say one years sub. is q million
votes. a tive.yesr sub. would be
16, 900. 900 votes.
Now, gentlemen, the scheme
was that whatever the young
girl lacked in win ming the car
the certain parties would make
up in subs. to your shetland
this was actually done to the
tune of
ten ive-year subscriptions, as
given to the editor by one of the
parties to the transaction.
Gentlemen, people helped the
different contestants win that
car when there wasn't a chance
in the world. May be that was
mt a rank fraud. but we believe
just the same that Mrs. Henry
Self won the car on the announc.
ed offer and the assurance of fair
play, and believe right now she
could go into court and force a
just restitution for the car wob
But the point is. talking Of
frauds. and taking Webster's
version Of it. you might take
that one case into consideration
as possible illustration.
We'll cite another case that
people might have q right to de-
rounce as a fraud. as per the
version Of Webster-the so-aalIed
