ABOUT ELECTION FRAUDS

The attack by', that stanch republican paper. the Indianapolis Sun., upon the election frauds perpetrated in Indiana two years ago in the interest of the republican state and national tickets caused a great flutter among the politicians responsible for them. It was made plain by the Sun that the defeat of /most of the democratic state ticket was due Ito these frauds, but the fact was just as well known at the time they occurred. The thing to do now is to see that they are not repeated next November. If the republican senate had joined the democratic house in passing what the republican papers called the "Marshall bill.” frauds of the kind that disgraced Lake county —and to some extent other counties—two years ago would be impossible. But the senate would not pass the bill. It is the duty of all good citizens to join the democratic organization in its effort not only/ to prevent but to stamp out election crime. And if a few interestel politicians get into the the fact may have a tendency to clear the political atmosphere for a good many years, if not for all time. 1
