trust magnate contributes $106, 900 to elect
political friends to Office, with a view to
preventing hostile legislation, why should
that fact be concealed until his friends
are securely seated in their official posi-
tons?
This Is not q new question; 1t is a ques-
ton which has been agitated-a question
which the Republican leaders fully under
stand-a question which the Republican
candidate has studied, and yet he re-
fuses to declare himself ir favor Of the
legislation absolutely necessary, name
ly, legislation requiring publication before
the election.
How can the people hope to rule, II they
are not able to learn until after the elec-
ton what the predatory interests are do
Ing? The Democratic party meets the
issue honestly and courageously. It says:
1--WE pledge the Democratic party to
the enactment Of law prohibiting any
corporation from contributing to cam
paign fund, and any Individual from con-
tributing an amount above a reasonable
maximum, and providing for the publi-
cation, before election, of all such con-
tributions above reasonable minimum" :"
The Democratic national committee i'm
mediately proceeded to interpret and ap-
ply this plank, announcing that no con-
trfbutions would be received from cor
porAtions, that no individual would be al
lowed to contribute more than $4,000, and
that all contributions above 500 would
be made public before the election-those
received before October 16 to be made
public on or before that day, those re-
.ceived afterward to be made public on
the day when received, and no such con-
tributions to be accepted within three
days of the election. The expenditures
are to be published after the election
Here is q plan which is complete and
effective.
