He may bargain with members, not only with regard to appointments, but also with regard to legislative to assist members to get or retain their seats. He may interpose his powerful influence, in one covert way or another, in contests for places in the senate. Such things are not only deeply immoral, they are destructive of the fundamental understandings of constitutional government and, therefore, of consti- tutional government itself. They are sure, moreover, in a country of free public opinion, to bring their own punishment, to destroy both the fame and the power of the man who dares to practice them.” These words are copied from page 71 of “Constitutional Govern: ment in the United States,” issued in 1911.
