Few thinking citizens fail to under
stand the evil influence of money in
politics and to realize the danger con
fronting our governments If the peri
is disregarded. The menace that buy
ing public Office brings to popular
government cannot be Overstated.
The recent events in certain state
primaries have brought from Gen
Pershing the outspOken declaration that
III the time ever comes when public
Offices can be virtually bought and sold
then the downfall Of the Republic is
not far OFF"
The fault is correctly assigned to
the citizens themselves by the American
general who says, "the business of gov
erament cannot be left to chance. II
the individual citizen does not let his
voice be heard among his fellows, or
does not give expression to his convic-
tions at the polls, he is unworthy OF
his high mission. Timid citizens are
quite useless as far as their influence
in government is concerned"
The purity of government is up to
the people as whole, but only indi-
vidual independence and courage is
effective. As General Pershing saws,
1--WE can have exactly the kind of a
government we want If, with firm re-
solve. we constantly exert ourselves 70
get it,"
If we sit back and leave to cheap
politicians the entire domination of
our political life, permitting them to
buy Offices with money, or promised
favors, we may expect the machinery of
government to be prostituted to their
selfish ends. If we believe our ideals
Of government are worth saving, we
must fight for them, otherwise, we
might as well abandon hope for the
American republic.

County. On August 3 the Governor
gave his decision, approved by each
member of the advisory committee.
The Governor declared that he be-
lieved Sacco and VanZetti had had a
fair trial, that both were guilty, that
Jutlge Thayer had not been prejudiced.
that he was mot impressed by the
Madeiros evidence" and that he would
not extend clemency to either man.
Dismayed, but not without hope, the
defense committee then sought other
means of saving the two men.
u. S. Judges Refuse to Act.
After Gov. Fuller had refused clem-
ency, successive legal steps We're
taken by the defense counsel. Justice
Anderson of the Massachusetts, Su-
preme Court and Judge Thayer of the
Massachusetts Superior Court refused
intervention, and were upheld by the
full bench of the Massachusetts Su.
preme Court. Chief Justice Taft and
justices Holmes, Brandeis and Stone
of the United States Supreme Court
declined to intervene.
Meanwhile Gov. Fuller and his
council granted a further respite to
midnight, August 90. Defense coun.
sci applied to the United States Su-
preme Court for a review of the case
and appealed to the Governor for
further respite.
Evening star., 1927-08-23

College professors had written books
on the case. Criticisms of Massachu.
sets law crept into newspapers Of
standing, and men and women OF i'm.
portance openly questioned the guilt
of the two men and the fairness Of
the. trial Thousands Of words had
been printed about the case in PAM
phlets and circulars. The general
tenor of the more conservative criti-
cism of the trial was that it was held
at a time when 1.-The Nation was suf-
fering from war hysteria." and in
other quarters the cry of persecution
of radicals arose.
The clamor eventually focused on
Gov. Fuller. He held the right of par
don: he could commute their sentences
or he could prepare the way for new
trial. All those who were making ef-
forts to save Sacco and Vanzetti
turned their eyes toward Gov. Fuller.
Thompson carried to the Governor
a petition from VanZetti asking mot
a pardon, but justice" Sacco refused
to sign the petition. Thompson ex-
planned to Gov. Fuller that Sacco had
felt the strain of imprisonment and
that alienists had indicated that he
was abnormal In certain respects, and
asked the Governor to consider a plea
for Sacco, although he had not signed
it..
Names Advisory Committee.
The petition was accompanied by
the statements Of flve newspaper writ
ers who covered the trial, and these
intimated that Judge Thayer had been
biased and had spoken outside of the
courtroom in manner that revealed
this alleged prejudice.
Gov. Fuller then began an investi.
cation Of the case. He appointed an
advisory council, comprising A. Law
renee Lowell, president Of Harvard
University; Samuel w. Stratton, presi-
dent Of the Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology, and former Judge of Pro-
bate Court Robert Grant. On June
29 respites were granted by the Gov.
ernor for Madeiros. Sacco and Van-
zetti. postponing their deaths up to
and including August 10.
The Governor and the advisory
council then began separate investi-
cations of the case. A large number
OF witnesses were examined, and
Sacco, Vanzetti and Madeiros were
questioned in the death house, where
they had been taken after sentence.
