A great many republicans have been

George Smith butts in at the republi

LAWsoN'S SENSATIONS.

Thomas w. Lawson is making Rome
howl with his monthly contributions in
Eyerybody's Magazine under the head
of "FreDZied Finance" The January
number which was put out last week is
an especially warm" one.
1t contains an account of a blscl-
mailing receivership, and incidentally
makes the astonishing charge that
fund of five million dollars was raised
in Wall street in 1896 for the purchase
of five doubtful states for Mckinley
According to Mr.. Lawson's article
this fund was raised by Ii. II. Rogers
of the Standard Oil Company, at the
instigation of Mark Hanna, and be
tween 100000 and $500, 900 of it was
diverted from its original purpose in or
der to buy of receivership for the
Bay State Gas Company.
alt will be recalled that Lawson, Ad-
dicks and others were heavily interest
ed In this company, whose control they
were to purchase from Rogers by Nov.
/, 1896, tor six million dollars

If you want something real interest
ing you should get the January mum
Der of EverybOdys Magazine and read
this article. We would like to repro
duce it, but It's length forbids. 1t re-
cites the details of the bribery, as well
the excuses made by the Standard OIL
Company for buying up the doubtful
states against Bryan.
The officers and attorneys for the
Standard Oil Company have threatened
~ both arrest and kill Lawson but he
does not seem TO be disturbed Several
unsuccessful attempts have been made
TO poison him, according to the Kansas
City Star, and other leading journals,
but he goes on slashing right and left
without fear or mercy.
Lawson is republican, He support
ed Mckinley in 1896 and Roosevelt in
1904. He is next" to everything that
has been going on and knows all. Thus
are the people being enlightened, and
many of the things which were suspi
cioned are now being proven to be alb
solute facts.
Lawson's next installment Will be
a treatise on the copper trust.

CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTIONS

Congressman Bourke Cochran intro
duced on the first day of the present
sessionsa resolution and bill dealing
with campaign contributions. The
resolution provides for the appointment
of commission to be composed of
judges, senators and members of con.
greSs 10 take testimony and report upon
contributions made to the various cam
paign committees during tue campaigns
of 1892, 1896, 1900 and 1904. 1t is not
probable that the republican party will
permit the passage of any such resolu-
ton. The amount Of money raised in
the campaigns of 1856 and 1900 was SO
large and the expenditures of the cam
paIgn were on such an enormous scale
that there is little danger of the repub.
llcan leaders permitting an investlga
ton into the facts.
Mr. Cochran's bill, however, being in
line with the presidents recommends.
tlOn, may have more chance of passage.
The Cochran bill provides that each
contribution above fifty dollars shall be
made public within three days after its
receipt, The press report did not
clearly indicate whether the contribu-
tons should be reported by the donor
or by the campaign committee.
1t would be we'll to require the
donor to file a report with the post
master Of the town IN which he
! lives, the same to be forwarded by the
postmaster and the nearest United
States court The donation should be
made known at once and to provide
against the possibility of having the
donations made just at the close of the
campaign it would be well to make it
unlawful fOT contributions to be made
so late in the campaign as to prevent
the publication of the same several days
before election. If, for instance, the
notice of the contribution must be filed
within three days after it is made, the
law ought to prohibit the making of
election. It might be even better TO
have longer time
The campaign committee has estab.
liShed headquarters and should file a
weekly report of it's contributions aud
disbursements during the campaign.
The contributions above fifty dollars
should be stated specifically the con-
tributiOnS below fifty dollars could lie
stated in gross sum and the same rule
could be followed IN reporting expenses.
Now that the president has put him.
self on record in favor of some such law
the democrats should join with him and
seek to secure the very best law pos
sible upon the subject. Mr.. Cochran
is to be congratulated upon haying
taken the initiative, and whether his
bill or some other bill is adopted the
democrats should insist upon imme-
date consideration of the subject.
| Some of the republican leaders Will
probably object to such legislation,
but the democrats and the active
friends of the president should together
constitute a majority .-COmmoner.

Cash Buyers Union Expands.

Chicago American.
The Cash Buyers Union First Ma
tional Co operative Society has leased
from Isaac F. Rubel the Industrial
Building at the northeast corner of
Jackson boulevard aud Green street for
ten years from January ! , at an aggre
gate rental of $3.50, 900, being at the rate
of $37 ,G0G annually. The lease was
negotiated by James II. Van Wishing
en- 81 Co.
This is probably the largest lease ever
entered into on the West Side and is
certainly the largest eyer made on
property in that section. Construction
upon the building is but little more
than begun, the walls being up one
story.
The building will be eight stories and
basement high and will front l26 feet
on Jackson boulevard aud 1876 feet on
Green street. 1t is probably the best
building from the standpoint of con
structiOn that has ever been erected IN
that section.
The building is in reality divided into
three sections, two main parts with a
fire proof corridor, the latter extending
through tue center of the entire build
ing from the front to the rear and from
the basement to the roof, with heavy
brick walls on either side, and ip this
corridor are the elevators and stair
ways There are double fire doors at all
openings, and thus tenants and occu-
pants are in great measure safe from
panic or danger in case of fire.
After prosperous existence of
nearly twenty years the Cash Buyers
Union was rechartered sixteen months
ago as cooperative society, with
capital stock of So ,000, 900 and the pre-.
ferred stock has been sold extensively
to the general public at the par value
of SO share on the soclety's guaranty
of a dividend of z per cent. Thus far
the dividends have been 10 per cent.
julius Kahn, who has had vast ex
perieacs IN the mail order business, is
the president of the society. The so
ciety began business In a seven. story
building in West Van Buren, street but
soon outgrew It's quarters. aud another
building was secured with IS 900 square
feet of floor space. Even this was not
sufficient, and the present lease marks
another step IN the growth of the
society.
