Indians Sell Votes
But Profit's Gone
Out of Politics
Salamanca, N. V. 'U'' Indian
politics Jusl isn't what it u.;cl to
be. 'J'hr profit is gun', and it costs
more to ic ("lifted.
' Votes that used to cost candi
dates a nominal S2 have shot up
as high as S15 to SliO, the Indians
say. Some Senecas think the
whole thing should be Iorjntton
in favor of a secret ballot.
Residents of the Seneca reser
vation here say it's no secret that
everybody who's running for
tribal ollicp buys votes. Because
the vote buying is public informa
tion, one side keeps trying to out
bid the other. And the price goes
up and up.
"Yes, it's true votes are bought
and sold as high as $15 hcie,"j
said Dean Williams, recently
elected president of the Seneca
nation. "It's higher, 1 guess, on
the Alleghany reservation from
what 1 hear." fact is, voters ex
pect to be paid. It's an old custom.
Keen going on HX) years I guess.
I'riends Want Pay
"Why even your hest friends
won't vote for you unless you pay
them.
"When I ran for councilor some
time back," said Adlai Williams,
another reservation resident, "1
paid S2 to a voter to come out
and vote for me, but the other
side was paying S20 and free beer.
.That was too much for me."
Ted Frank, a prosperous Alle
ghany reservation garageman
who ran for treasurer on the peo
ple's party ticket this year, said
he had to outbid his opposition to
get the vote of a friend.
"I didn't spend very much my
self," he said. "I really didn't
want the job. A friend of mine
came to me and told mo hp was
offered $20 to vote against me. 1
told him to go back and tell the
other side I was offering $21.
Thought maybe they might offer
him $25."
No Profit Nowadays
Observers admit there isn't
Tnuch point in buying votes any
more. At one time the $15,000 to
$20,000 paid the reservation by
the city of Salamanca for rem
went to the Indian council for dis
tribution. In those days, tribal of
fice could he profitable.
In 1902, however, a law was
passed requiring the money to go
to the Indian agency to be appor
tioned equally among each mem
ber of the Indian nation. But, for
reasons which nobody seems able
to explain, the vote buying con
tinned.
one Indian describes it as a
custom which "just seems to
linger."
