BRIBERY
IN THE LEGISLATURE

The Massachusetts Legislature is
Bought and Sold as are Sausages
And Fish at the Market
and Wharves."

This is one of the
many startling
statements made by Thomas W. Lawson in the December installment of
"Frenzied Finance" in Everybody's
Magazine for December, just pub-
lished. Mr. Lawson tells of the whole-
sale buying and selling of senators and
representatives in the great common-
wealth of Massachusetts, which cul-
minated in the sudden and mysterious
disappearance of a Boston lawyer and
his secretary.

As back numbers of Everybody's
Magazine are out of print, the previous

zied Finance"—contained in the num-
bers from July to November inclusive
