pr present besent law WOULD PURIFY ELECTIONS snow said ho he had not taken kindly to the bill at first but since hearing the arguments in its favor thought its provisions were at least entitled to con side ratton there wro were sevc loveral ral rood good reasons for its adoption it would protect e candidates fr te fl and nil voters tho rho spirit of the bill tended toward the Duri flea tion of
