of forfeiture of Office is provided
if the matter is called to the at
tention of the court in certain
prescribed manners.
The Saturday Press has called
attention in previous issues to
number of other serious viola
tons of the Corrupt Practices
Act on the part of Tom Latimer
during the course of his recent
campaigning for office. For each
offense the statute provides that
he has made himself liable to
forfeiture of office.
The most important of these
offenses are:
l. The statute prescribes that
candidates for election to NUM-
cipal offices shall not be permitted
to disclose their party affiliations.
Latimer was the nominee of the
FL party and campaigned under
the designation of farmer-labor-
lite. The campaign was made a
partisan campaign in Latimer's
behalf, backed by the propellins
force of powerful and wealthy
| political machine, with his oppo-
nent being nonpartisan, as pre-
scribed by law, handicapped in
the pursuit of votes thru having
no previous organization, with
funds and personnel, to back
him.

days after the date required by
law for the filing of that docu-
ment, Latin,er told the city clerk
he had not yet completed MAX
ing out his statement.
The statement has finally ma lie
its appearance in the city clerks
files. 1t carries a verihcation
dated June 9th, the legal date for
filing. Althe Tom told the city
clerk on the 18th of June that
he had not finished making up
the statement, the statement
which he later filed is sworn to
by Tom as having been completed
four days earlier.
That one offense may seem a
trivial matter altho the legislature
considered it sufficiently serious
to pass a law against it with a
penalty of forfeiture of office.
But this is just one of a large
number of instances of election

of this, Olson called into his Of

incidentally, there were a num-
Der of clergymen in that group.
Olson was not anxious to lace
liability for his own crimes and
he made a desperate play to duck
this liability by attempting to tag
the preachers and their associates
in that petition with the crime
of violating the Corrupt Practices
Act.
The point is, Olson knew that
it was a serious criminal offense
to circulate campaign literature
(bluf6ng then that the printed
copies of that petition were In
the nature of campaign litera-
ture) without the name and ad-
dress of the party or parties re-
sponsible for its preparation and
circulation. And to protect him.

with oaths is a violation of crinn-

carelessness comes from the re-

SO conspicuously during his CAM
paign for votes proclaimed his in

our laws against other law vio-

The Corrupt Practices Act,
among a number of other things,
provides that all campaign litera-
ture must carry the name and adj
dress Of the party preparing and
circulating it.
The legislature which drafted
the Act was desirous Of liking the
responsibility for everything that
went into the shaping of the
minds of the voters and had in
view the elimination OF state
ments that varied from truth.
They also believed that the pub
lie had a right to know who were
the moral and financial hackers
of prospective public servants, of
candidates who sought public Of
fee.
Under the provisions of this
Act, if a candidate prepares and
circulates political literature de-
signed to influence voting at a
public election without stating in
that literature that he is the au-
thor, giving his address, and set
ting out that he is responsible
for its circulation, that candidate
is liable to have his ensuing cleo

they played games and sometimes
