Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book examines the contested election case of Francis J. Horgan v. George Holden Tinkham, which took place for the eleventh Massachusetts congressional district and was decided by the Committee on Elections of the House of Representatives. The author details the many grounds of the contest including bribery, the use of liquor, and a conspiracy between the Democratic leader and Tinkham, who was seeking office as a Republican. Testimony reveals payments to individual voters, the unauthorized use of funds given to the Democratic candidate, and the distribution of money under the guise of purchasing tickets. Evidence also points to widespread illegal distribution of liquor by Tinkham and his supporters, and a deceptive postal card campaign linking the Democratic candidate for governor to the Republican congressional nominee. Of particular note was Senator Timilty's alleged conspiracy with Tinkham, despite publicly supporting the Democratic candidate. The author argues that Timilty's subsequent denial of his support under oath points to an unlawful agreement between the two parties. This book offers a detailed analysis of the case, providing valuable insights into political corruption and the challenges of ensuring fair elections.
