The court In Id Ibc ciuilr.it t void for the rei'.-on assigned and iliiciti-d a vi rdlct accordingly. The case Is hero upon the plalutllf's exception to this holding. Tile plaiutlfl called the defendant as a witness. The elilencc consisted of certain coi l enionili nee bad b) the parties and the testimony of the paitb s as to the elr C'linst.iliccs in which the letters weie will ten, the meaning that was .itt ichrd to tho language used, the matters enclosed for pul.lii.ili.il: by one party, and the scmoes rend"!", d b) the other, and subsequent traiisin lions bearing upon their under standing of the relations they hid sustain 1 d. The 1I1 fondant claimed that no contract with the plaintiff was In fat t consummate 1 and dial the only contract 1 ver contmi plated was one for the publication of extract.- itoin other papers at a legitimate chitge fm the space actually taken. The plai Ullf dbl tin' claim tn r. cover on this ground, I ut claimed lo rumor a reason able eoiopensation tor the support and In Ihionei.. ni ins papir and his seniles as its editoi. The plalntllf was a democrat publishing a ib-moeratli paper of Independent proeli ties. Tip. defendant was a lopubliean seeking a nomination to Congress from a republican convention. It appeared Irom the plaintiff's testimony that he consldend ilefi ml, nil's pioposal an application fur th. use and Influence of his paper 111 the 11, nine of a retainer; that he accepted It with the understanding that Ills paper and ills servlees ac editor would be at the com mand ol On defendant during Oie cam paign, to Ii" settled for at its close; that he was to do all he timid to Influence the choice ol delegates and secure tho deleml. ant's nomination: that original matter was within th scope of his contract, and that his editorials wore written in til, it view; that h" supported the defendant be cause ot his contract and the money he was to get cut nf it; that ho expo, ud to receive a larger 1 onipeiisatinn If ib-icnd-ant was nominated than he otherwise would, that he trad to conceal bis rela tions with tile defendant Hum the public ami uiideislo.nl that tin- dolt 11. bint was trvlug tu tin tbo same; that he took this course bicauseit would 111. iki his ellorts 111 Influencing voteis lu defendant's behalf nun e suei 1 sslul. The case of Nichols vs. Mudgott "2 Vt. 5l'i decided by Oils court in 1V Is one nf the few eases bearing upon this subject. The plaintiff in that use was a candi date for olliee of town rept esontaiiv" and a 1 redllor ot tlieib feiiilant. Tlio ilef'nilaiil s party altiliatlons were such as would nat urally loatl him to voto for the opposing 1 a militate. Conversations were hail which resulted 111 a mutual understanding 1l1.it tho ili-fondant should use bis Influence- In lavor of the plaintiff's oie, turn, and if the plaintiff was su. ccsslul the dclend aiit's in.lchlcilness should be treated as paid. Induced by this agreement the de fendant supported the plaintiff s 1 aiitlldaey until his election was declared. There wan 110 agieement that defendant should vote im the plalntllf unless it was Implied lu the iiWive understanding. Ho voted for the plaintiff, however, nnd did so be muse of the understanding. The suit wni for the recovery of the iiidebtelens.i to. ferrcd tn mid the defendant claimed that It had been satisfied. The court considered that there was a sale nf defendant's In fill, nee and vote, hold the agreement void and gave judgment lor the plaintiff. The agreement in that case Involved both the defendant's vote and his in tlnence upon the votes 01 others but the 1 inirfs discussion of tho subject does not leave niiieh doubt ns to what Its con 1 luslons would have boon If tile undertak ing had been ennlineij to the latter seivli-e Ccitalnly no distinction could ptopcrly be tnaile hot w 0011 the two. Rut that tho con tract bad lelcrence to tho votes to be cast at an elc, tlon; and the plaintiff contains that Inasmuch as caucuses and conven tlnns are not creations of n,e h.- ,.... uacis mr scrvuos 111 influencing the cheifo 01 o.-ag.iies ami too anion nt a conven u. in c.uiuni no considered ,-ignlnt pubilo In Lino. y,.

The defendant kept the J20 and aided the plain tiff's opponent. The suit was to recover this money but the defendant had judg ment, Tim decision was announced by Jus thv Lawrence, who charicterized the Iransai tlon as "an attempt to Influence, by monlcd considerations the action of O14 defendant In a matter where every person fhonld be governed solely by a regard for the public welfare." In Ftrasburger vs. Rurk decided hv tho i , - r.n.,. r. t 11.1.1 , . . . i ...uu.fc o. 4iiiiimi i", mo oeienaaut was the keeper of a lager beu- saloon and tigreod to glvo his political influence, and furnish beer and cigars to secure a caucus nomination for the plaintiff's father. Thu gratuitous furnishing of food or liquor to t-ccuro vots at an eleotion waa piohlhlteil bv the cone, nut the only statutory reeng union 01 primary elections was a provision for the preservation of order. Tlio court considered that In applying this principle or public policy no mstinctton con Id bo made l-'tween voluntary meetings of thH character ana elections ordained by law Mr, McCrary adopts tho conclusions of this opinion In his work on olcotlonn, au-l applies the drctTlna to the sain nf Influence lis well as the sain of voUxs, Mr. tiVdflolQ In corrmentlnc upon the same- opinion In the American Uw rtenrlster N. 8. Vol. li n. Clfl. says that the Invalidity of contracts designed to control tho freedom of eleotlond results from the principles of tha common law. and that those relating to caucuses cannot be made an exception on tha ground that sueh meetings are not recognized by the statute, We cannot doubt tho correctness of this conclusion. The rul would largely fall of Its purpose If not so applied. When the voters nre unevenly divided Into two par ties, the nomination of the stronger oritan. Izatlon Is usually oqiilvnlent to nn election, When the party situation Is different tho wurK uuuu alter tho tonvcntionu la uiui narlly conlliied lo a selection fioin tile caiullibilis riKUlarly preciilod. The Indl Mdiial voter of a largo oloctorato can sol diiin filvo an effective expression lo i i linlce that Is not In lino with the in -lion of some party convention, To secilie a floe nnd oxact expression of the sov oielmi will there must Iip a proper so lection of cmidld.ilcs as well lis mi honest election. If the eholeo of dolomites and tho notion of the nomlnatliii; convention mo linproprly determined the election ballots will fall to express tho tt.nl Judgment of the voters, It Is nut claimed In argument, and no Kroliml occurs to us upon which It could bo claimed, that this conttnet win any the less obnoxious to tho law because the purchased Inllucueo was to bp pxei'ted throiiKh the columns of tho plaintiff's pa per, A newspaper Is understood to present the views of some one eotinootod with the inanaKonioiit or views doomed consistent with mmo so (led policy, and lias i patron, nco mid Inlluoiico which are duo to that iindprstandlni:.
