The Uho ol Money in Ulectioun. From the 8un?merville News. There la a matter which wo f ?-c 1 * impelled to bring to tho attention - of our people at ibis time, when the campaign just paused through iu f re eh Iu our minds. It la currently reported that mon ?ey bus been freely used in the re cont primary. We do not prCHUino to nttliiu the accurnuy of this ?tuUu>tiQl, nor are we Informed that tho use of this monoy was limited to nny one cau , didato or 8et of candidates ? and we -wish here now to disclaim any in tention of slapping any one iu par ticular ? wo aio simply alluding to the practice. Tuen if money haa been illegally ' used and votes bought we hope that W tho candidates will see or have seen r-lhe rank stupidity of mic,U a prnce dure. We aro leaving ?>ut the mo ral aspect of tins ease, for wo pre ^?umn that the moral situation will ir hardly appeal lo a man who buys -votes. But from a mere common seuse standpoint docs it not seem urr?nt nonaonso to buy volet,? A man that will soil his vote to one man will sell It over again to his oppo nent. A bought man don't stay bought. Then does it pay ? How can a man spend several tundred dollars to obtain au nfllee ?k-y?hich will pay him practicnlly ^ nothing? Why not put the oftloes up at auction and divide the prico among the voters, share and share nliki? Of course the Arguments advocat or ed Is that the other fellow i?* uning money and whiskey and what not T to obtain his election ? but thnt in > no argument at all. If it im true, K* there are laws to get at hitn with, It ' v"/? r-, and these should he appealed to. Perhaps theto in not a single can didato who has not siucerily re ^ grettcd what may have appeared to them tho necessary uso of mon jAi, ey in the recent election and it would seem that in mere- se'if- pro V tection they would get together and refuse to be hied in future. Jf tho honest voters will refuse '?-f absolutely to vote for candidates who UM money to buy votes they t be doing the candidates them es and the County n great ecr ice. . ^e are glad to state that if iN" *? s one oent used to influence a In Kershaw county we do uot wit.
