WASHINGTON. y, c.. May II.
Representative Williams. minority
leader of the House. has made 1t clear
that the Republicans have no intention
of enacting at this session any legisla-
ton loltng TO limiting the use of
money in elections. Mr.. Williams de-
cared that the delay in the passage
of such legislation by the House was
for the purpose of being able to Soy
to the country in the coming campaign
that there was not time to get such n
bill through the Senate; that all had
been done which it was possible to
do. The Republican presidential cam
paign. conducted without big contri-
buttons from protected interests would
be a spectacle such as this country has
not seen. Improper use of money in
political campaigns is not an evil prac-
ticed exclusively by the Republican
party. But there can be no doubt that
that party has been chiefly guilty of
the corruption of the voters through
the use of money.
