TALK OF CAMPAIGN CASH.
At Meeting Called by Perry Belmont
Bryan Urges PubHcitY.

Washington. Nov. "a meeting Of the Associa-
tIon for the Publication of Campaign Contributions
called by Perry Belmont. held here to-day
Tho chief feature address by ". ]. Bryan.
lie introduced by Mr. Belmont a man
whose influence would be great in obtaining the
passage of law at the coming session of Congress
providing for publicity of Congressional campaign
contributions
Mr.. Bryan asserted that If tho movement for
publicity of campaign contributions did take
form through the Democratic members OF Congress
during the next session, it would take form in tho
next Democratic National Convention. providing he
had anything to do with it
Although the Democratic party is not In post
tion 10 draw its share of campaign funds at pres
ent' he said. 1T has been in a position TO do so
before and will undoubtedly be in that position
again when it makes the necessary promises. I
hope that no party will yield to the temptation 10
sell legislation immunity for contributions
There is no doubt that such has been done in the
past
Mr. Bryan contended that the publicity should
be made before a campaign. instead OF after but
added that it could with benefit be done both be-
fore and after
IF a man is willing to have il become known
that he has made a contribution for public bene-
ht" said he. why should he object to having IT
known that he has subscribed to political
form?' He said he saw unmistakable signs OF a
growth due to an ethical awakening. and that this
has been brought on by the recent Investigations.
He ventUred the opinion that not public inan
could be found who would dare denounce. in a
speech delivered before election the publicity
movement. and said that this due due public
opinion. which was surely crystallizing tho
movement.
The following resolution offered by Mr. Chand-
Ier adopted:
Resolved. That in view Of the approaching Presi-
urge Senators and Representatives of their
spective states to aid In the enactment of the pro-
posed publicity law at the present session OF Con
gress. and that committee of this organization
he appointed to go before the committees of the
Senate and House which the bill favored by
this organization may be referred.

would be appointed later.
