Sinopsis

Excerpt from The Corrupt Practices Act, 1883: With Introduction and Full Index

This should be issued as soon as possible, but before being published should be submitted to the Election Committee. A Oopy should be sent to every elector by post, and on the back of the envelope there must be given the address of the Central Committee Rooms, to which it can be returned in case of non-delivery. This frequently helps in disclosing deaths and tracing removals. Frequently an address is advertised extensively in the local press and plastered on every available hoarding, but this is really a useless expense, as every elector has had it through the post. Copies should be sent to tradesmen, licensed victuallers, and all supporters who are willing to expose them on their premises, but no payment may be made for such exhibition. The form is usually a double sheet, the whole of the inside being taken up by the address, one half of the outside by the candidate's photograph, and the other half by reasons for voting for him. A good reserve of copies should be kept in hand for future calls.

Excerpt from The Corrupt Practices Act, 1883: With Introduction and Full Index

The "Corrupt Practices Act, 1883," which comes into force on the 15th of October next, has two main objects: first, that of the prevention of illegal and corrupt practices in connection with parliamentary elections; and, secondly, the diminution of expense in the conduct of such elections. Both these objects are carefully and elaborately provided for in this Act, and if its provisions are honestly carried out, the length of a man's purse will not, as now, be such an important factor; and the way will be opened for many men of talent, with small means, to take part in the government of the country, who have been hitherto deterred from seeking a seat in the House of Commons by the great expense which a contest entails. It is to be hoped, that not only will the House of Commons thus gain by the addition to its ranks of talented members, but that the people themselves will be gainers, by having their sense of patriotism increased, inasmuch as most of the work of the election will have to be of a voluntary character; and the electors will feel that a great public duty is put upon them; and that they are not merely assisting in a business which is to result in lining their own pockets in return for the social elevation or aggrandisement of the candidate.
