about "slush funds"

through their own trcachcry to the adj.
miuistration which has taken care of
them and held them In office rush to
the opposition newspapers with all
kinds of yarns about campaign assess.

wages and stopped out of their en-
vClopcs and all the rest of il. The op.
position newspapers, of course. give
unlimited space to these yarns and
then turn ZIP their eyes in holy horror
ut the awful idea of an administration

principal bcncticiaricS of it. So far rs
job.hulding is concerned.
Now all of this dcccivcs nobody.
There is nothing either new or extra
ordinary about lcvying campaign AS
sessmcnts under circumstances such as
those in questions. 1t has been done
from time immemoral. and there Is
nothing either shockingly immoral or
unreasonable about 1t.
The talk about padded pnyrolls is on
Il par with that concerning "slusll
funds"
1t Is remarkable that no charges of
this kind have ever been INDUCED In
against the present State administra.

by such campaign buncombc as this.
