1918, 100000. Here, he thinks, is where
the Republicans got all their money
and he suggests q, remedy.
Eyes, there is a remedy he says, ga
statute making it a penal offense for
any officer of a corporation to contrib
ute corporation funds to a campaign
fund limiting the amount that can be
legally expended by candidates or COM
mittees and compelling the publication
of the names of contributors to cam
paign funds, together with the amounts
contributed"
Among other things he says:
1.-THE old saying that il is not safe
to swap horses while crossing a stream
was used for all it was worth, not
wfthstanding the fact that in this in

stream that was being crossed, for
imperialism is an idea of European
origin.

ITO consider this election as decisive
of the money question would be as alb
surd as to have regarded the election
of 1896 as decisive of the tariff ques-
ton. AS a matter of fact, an
election is not necessarily conclusive

Those who believe in equal rights

THE alarming feature of a contest
between the trusts and the victims OF
the trusts is that the former reaping
great profits out Of the system, are
able and willing to contribute literally
to perpetuate the system, Willie the
people at large are not always able
