It argues the law would criminalize candidates and corruptly mix with felons to sway voters, even suggesting purchases as trivial as candy could violate it.
The text notes Kemmerer failed to secure a prearranged janitorship or door keeper post in the state house patronage split. Peter Gordon was briefly favored for door keeper, but a Sheridan county candidate won, Kemmerer then offered the junior position, and Kemmerer supporters argue no prearranged plan existed though Garinton, a longtime Republican, was seen as deserving. Cheyenne reports deny prearrangement and suggest Kemmerer faced an unfortunate outcome.
