Every candidate for public office including candidates for the office of senator of the United States, within thirty days after the election or primary election held to nominate for or fill such office or place, shall make out and file with the clerk of the circuit court for the county in which such candidate resides, a full, true and itemized statement in writing, which statement shall be subscribed and sworn to by such candidate before an officer authorized to administer oaths, setting forth in detail all moneys or other valuable things contributed, expended or promised by him to aid or promote his candidacy, or in any way in connection with his nomination or election, or both as the case may be, or for other political purposes in connection with the election of any other person at said election, and all existing unfilled promises or liabilities in that connection remaining uncancelled and in force at the time such statement is made, whether such expenditures, promises or liabilities were made or incurred before, during or after such election, and showing the dates when, the person to whom, and the purpose for which each and all of said sums or valuable things were paid, expended or promised or said liabilities incurred. Such statement shall also set forth that the same is full, true and correct. No person shall be deemed elected to any elective office, under the laws of this state, or enter upon the duties thereof, or receive any salary or emoluments therefrom, until he shall have filed the statement provided for in this section of this act; and no officer authorized by the laws of this state to issue commissions or certificates of election shall

issue a commission or certificate of election to any person claiming to be elected to any office, until such statement as aforesaid shall have been so made, verified and filed by such person with such clerk. Upon the filing of such statement, the clerk shall issue to the candidate a certificate showing the filing of such statement, and the date of such filing, which certificate shall be presented by the candidate to the officer authorized by law to issue his commission and such certificate shall be the only evidence of the filing of such statement which may be required by the officer authorized to issue such commission. Any person violating or failing to comply with any of the provisions of this section shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof shall be fined not less than three hundred dollars nor more than two thousand dollars, or imprisoned for not more than one year; or both fined and imprisoned in the discretion of the court or jury trying said cause.

7111k. Corrupt practices, guilt defined, penalty.

This section, relating to corrupt practices in elections, applies to an election to determine whether the sale of intoxicating liquors shall be prohibited in a township. State v. McCrocklin, 186 Ind. 277, 115 N. E. 929.

An indictment for a violation of the Corrupt Practices act is sufficient which follows the language of the statute. State v. McCrocklin, 186 Ind. 277, 115 N. E. 929.

An indictment for violation of the Corrupt Practices act need not allege that the person voted, the giving of money to induce him to vote constituting the gravamen of the offense. State v. McCrocklin, 186 Ind. 277, 115 N. E. 929.

An indictment under the Corrupt Practices act should allege whether money was received to induce another to vote or refrain from voting against a pending measure. State v. Draper, 186 Ind. 433, 116 N. E. 584.

An indictment under this section which fails to aver that accused received money for the purpose of inducing him to vote for a proposition submitted at local option election, or to vote against it, was held insufficient, since the gist of the offense is receiving money for the purpose of inducing the person to vote. State v. Bedford, 186 Ind. 297, 116 N. E. 423.

71111. Contributions by corporations unlawful, penalty.

The provisions of this section make each officer of a corporation contributing money to an election liable. State v. Fairbanks, 187 Ind. 648, 115 N. E. 769.

An affidavit charging a violation of this section relating to contributions by corporations to political parties or candidates, was held sufficient to charge each and all of the defendants with violation of this section. State v. Fairbanks, 187 Ind. 648, 115 N. E. 769.

This section and section 8323b, relating to contributions to political parties or candidates, is held to apply to local option elections. State v. Fairbanks, 187 Ind. 648, 115 N. E. 769.
