'After a sensational battlo, Newber

of having bought tho election.
For many years this government
has warred on graft. Graft In high
places, graft In low places, these wore
attacked.
This corrupt practices act prevent
ed a man through gifts of money or
groat expenditures of easily for little

It has been the contention of the
government that a man ohould stand

found guilty of buying his seat in tho

The supremo court no doubt follow
