TO PREVENT ILLEGAL VOTING.
Mr. Landers' bill 46-see page 69 of these Reports-being read the third time-
Mr. LANDERS. Senators will see the penalty is increased in this bill for the violation of the election laws. Under the old law the penalty was not sufficient to prevent illegal voting. I am satisfied this bill will tend, to a great extent, to preserve the purity of the ballot box.
Was finally passed by yeas 38, nays 2.
