Severe penalty is trended for any fraud in :egFirst Natura zat cn Paoe-s. Severe penalty is attached for giving any pecuniary aid to a foreigner | a taking out his papers to entitle ‘ him to vote. So strict is this that oo cue will want to take any chances, it is supposed that this will effectual- ‘ ly shut out the disgraceful voting of foreigners who are not entitled to vote especially in Urge Übor enters Trie following points apply pract: illy to ncmications as well as : ' eiectkms: What we have heretofore j known as county or district chairman is to be known as “Political Agent," and trearurer is called “Po litical Treasurer.” These officers must file a certificate of their appoint- | ment with the secretary of state before they dare to do any political act. The treasurer must also give bond. It is unlawful for any person, or candidate, to pay any money for political purposes to any one but the treasurer. The treasurer must keep a strict account of all moneys received and paid out with vouchers and names and make a public report of the same. No assessment or demand can be made on any candidate for any money but he may make a small voluntary contribution < amount based on number of voters in the district in which he is running-. A candidate for judge dare not even make this small rolustate contribution. In addition a candidate may pay t:s own expenses for: Postage, letters telegrams or telephones, express- ; age. publishing, traveling and board bat for no other pcrjtese And he must, make a put lie report of all of the same and swear to it- and if 1 does not comply with the law in every particular he cannot take the nomination or election if saccess!al. The “Treasurer’' can only pay out : money fer the following purposes: Halls and music for conventions red meetings, printing,, renting rooms and headquarters.’telegram and telephone, expressage. necessary clerks - and messengers and carrying sick * or infirm persons for res stration or . to the polls. He must make public : report of all su- h items of expense and to whom paid, coder heavy penalty. For the following offenses the penalty is S'-X* to $1440 fine and a -year's imprisonment: For giving directly or indirectly or i- promising any money, gift, aid. employment, appointment, entertarmenc. or anything of value to influence a vote for any person, ticket. For receiving. stUritintn request- !- ing or accepting any of the above b and then voting. For any person promising or girif ing directly or indirectly for political e purposes anything to any person exn cept to the Treasurer” or in any i- name but his own. For an employer to put any political motto on any pay envelop* or other paper used is his business or any card or placard or poster about p- hi* place, using device or argument d or threat, express or implied, caleuir luted to infiaeace the opinion or Tote 1- of any employee. * To provide wholly or in part any .:- meat, drink or entertainment for the ks purpose of infiuencing any vote. ■ff And here is a stunner ‘on corporate, tiess: For any corporation directly or indirectly to give anything in aid of politics or to aid in any way any te candidate, party or ticket, through te itself, its ofilcers, employees or any rs other channel, the corporation shall d- te fined $5,444, and all persons doing sd any such act or fcavfag acted in the it same or connived at the same shall ig be imprisoned for one year, of A special statute is also enacted to be give speedy action at law to make these laws active and effectual.

The law la aimed at *b*<n ut , party in elections. The vote wiu no 1 doubt be much smaller than under the . old law.

Those who have been active i n tics had better acquaint themselve* with this new and drastic law. THE JURY DISAGREED. The Jury hearing the case of Frank Steed, charged with assault and battery, heard Thursday before ’Squire Friedl ne of Geneva, failed to return a verdict by 11 o'clock Thursday night and were excused. A mistake was made in Thursday night's paper in stating that Bun Webbs trial »as held Thursday, the case being that of Frank Steed. Instead Webb, who is in the Adams count v JaiL was taken to Geneva to serve < sly as a witness in the 3teed trfaL It wll be remembered that the two men engaged in a fight at the Steed home last Mondayevening, and George Zagg e. who interfered, was struck by Webb, his skull being fractured. Zagg’e is now in the Portland hospital, and Webb is being held in jail until Zaggle s condition can be determined, before a definite charge will be made against Webb.
