PUBLICITY IN CONTRIBUTIONS
Steps to Be Taken to Push the Bill
Before Congress

Before Congress.
There Is a subject of general interest en-
braced in bill left pending in Congress at
the last session which is likely soon to be
brought to the renewed attention of Con-
gress and backed with fresh arguments for
its passage into law.
This indication was signalized by the
dinner given last night in New York to
Perry Belmont. chairman Of the New York
publicity bill committee. Something like
one hundred members Of the organization
celebrated thus the success Of the applica-
ton of the publicity law passed by the New
York legislature, and they will transmit to
Congress through the proper sources abun-
dant argument and reasons for the passage
of a campaign publicity law requiring pub
mittees. At the dinner were both the ma
tional republican and democratic commit
teemen of New York state, besides many
others connected with party and labor or
CARNATIONS. Notables in the company were
such subscribers to the dinner as Edward
M. Shepard. Controller Herman A. Metz
Norman e. Mack. John F. Milburn, Edward
Lauterbach, Representatives William Sulzer
and Charles v. Fornes. former Judge John
F. Dillon. Edward M. Grout, Supreme
Court Judge Chas. H. Truax, former United
States Senator Warner Miller, Cord Meyer
Homer Davenport S. 8. Mcclure and John
A. Hennessy president of the New York
Press Club.
The new publicity law for New York had
a fair trial in the campaign between Will
liam R. Hearst and Charles E. Hughes, and
by it's operation the public got all the inter-
esting details of the money spent by them
and all other candidates and committees,
as well as the contributions to them during
the great campaign The advocates of a
similar measure for congressional and ma
tional committees claim that they will come
before Congress with ample official exhibits
of the efficacy of the new law at the last
election. and are hopeful of convincing Con-
gress 1t should act without delay.
