Texas Liquor Trust Exposed in Aggressive Election Plots
Harris County Submission Club reports that a Texas liquor trust used bribes, vote buying, and influence peddling to control elections, officials, and newspapers. The attorney general’s suit in Sulphur Springs produced admissions and letters detailing statewide schemes including poll tax payments, local option interference, labor and church manipulation, bribery of a commissioners court, and efforts to dominate farmers and courts. The Home and State published supporting evidence, condemning the practices and urging the public to reject the traffic.
