GRAFTERS SELL INFLUENCE' IN CAPITOL RACKET •Fraternity Brothers’ and •Inside Track’ Are Some Claims. BY WALKER STONE Times Staff Writer WASHINGTON, Nov. 23.—A very thriving business is being done in Washington these days by gentlemen engaged in selling influence—influence, be it said, which the gentlemen haven’t got. It has become almost a major racket, if the stories now current can be believed. Offices of the racketeers are scattered over downtown Washington. Some have legal connections, and have established Washington branches for their law firms. Others opeiate from hotel rooms. In another, and numerous class, are Washington attorneys whp belong to the party in power, whichever it may be, and who know their way around among the government departments. All in all. individuals and corporations seeking a backdoor entrance to administration favor find no lack of racketeers who claim to have the magic key and promise to use it for a consideration. Selling influence that you do not have is one of the oldest rackets in politics. Public officials from the highest down are “sold” daily by persons these officials would not recognize if they met on the street. Take Down Payment The established practice is to take a certain payment down, for which the racketeer agrees to use his influence to get the government job, contract, ruling, permit or agreement not to prosecute whatever the credulous client may want. And if the client gets what he wants the racketeer collects the remainder of the fee. Sometimes the client does get what he wants, generally through a natural course of events, but the racketeer gets the credit and collects the fee. Regardless of whether the client gets what he wants, however, the racketeer already has the down payment, and who could prove he did not try to use his “influence.” Job Seekers Preyed Upon The ways of creating an impression of influence are legion. There are the regular party channels. Men who have had some prominence in the party back home establish headquarters in Washington, and listen to the propositions of all comers from the home state. Others make their contact through the entertainment route, managing one way or another to be seen with high government officers in public places. Others are, or claim to be, old college classmates and fraternity brothers. Asa rule, the prospective client must depend upon what the racketeer says he can do. Perhaps the lowest class in the influence racket are the job sellers, persons who prey on the distress of unemployed persons, periling their alleged influence for whatever price the job seeker can raise. A case was recently investigated of a man who organized a Such-and-Such Democratic League, an organization not even remotely' connected with the party, which the organizer used as a front to sell government jobs for $5, $lO, s2s——of course, that were never delivered. ATTACKS DAUGHTERS: GETS 5 TO 21 YEARS Monroe County School Bus Driver Makes Plea of Guilty. By Times Special BLOOMINGTON. Nov. 23—Sentence of five to twenty-one years in prison was imposed on Frank Huffman, 41, school bus driver, in Mor.roe circuit court yesterday, when he pleaded guilty to criminal assault on his two daughters, aged 16 and 14. Huffman was arrested when school teachers learned the two children are expectant mothers. ALL-DAY SHOOT TO BE HELD BY LEGION Frank Lantz Farm to Bp Scene of Rifle Contest. An all-day shooting match will be held Saturday by the New Palestine Post No. 182 of tire American Legion at the Frank Lantz farm, fifteen miles east of Indianapolis on United States Road 52. It will be a rifle match at fifty yards. Prizes will include hams and poultry. STOP THAT COLD Distressing cold in chest or throat, that so often leads to something serious, generally eases up in five minutes when soothing, warming Muaterole is applied. Rubbed in once every hour, relief usually follows in five hours. Better than a mustard plaster, Musterole gets action because it’s NOT just a salve. It’s a ’’counterirritant” —stimulating, penetrating, and helpful in drawing out pain and infection. Used by millions for 25 years. Recommended by many doctors and nurses. All-druggists. In three strengths: Regular Strength, Children’s (mild), and Extra Strong. Radio: Tune in the “Voice of Experience,” Columbia Network. See newspaper for time.
