Representative Robertson of this county has introduced a very drastic bill to prevent corruption in the primary and general elections. It provides for the filing by the candidate of a detailed statement of expenditures, and makes the failure to do so a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the penitentiary or by a heavy fine. It is safe to say if the bill becomes a law and is enforced that there will be no more corrupt elections... |
