organizations entrusted with import
ant public functions. and the powers
of political campaign committees thus
come within the purview of govern
mental supervision. The publicity of
campaign contributions and expendi-
lures the purpose and effect of which
is to influence the elector in the eXer-
else of a public function is therefore
regarded as ar effective remedy and
an indisputable public right. Cam
paign money is now acknowledged to
be public money.
Secrecy Of the ballot is based upon
the necessity of protecting the voter
from the coercion or Involvement of
improper influences. Campaign fund
publicity is required as equally essen
tia1 and strikes directly at the exist
ence of such influences. This is the
fundamental principle for which the
National Publicity Law Organization
and its New York State branch have
contended in promoting the enact
ment of a state law and in compelling
the attention of Congress to the me-
cessity of Federal legislation. Al no
stage of this movement has there
been any open opposition in Wash
ington. Even the controlling powers
of the House of Representatives, not
desiring legislation before the presi-
Dental campaign, brought about the
passage of a bill containing all the
provisions advocated By our organiza-
election, but by arbitrarily attaching
a force bill to that during
the closing days of the last session
of Congress, rendered it impossible
of enactment at that time. All the
presidential candidates in the last
election. Republican and Democratic
governors just elected, some of whom
have been included in the member
ship of our organization since its for
nation. Governor Hughes of New
York, Governor johnson of Minnesota,
Governor-elect Harmon of Ohio, and
Governor-elect Marshall of Indiana,
have declared themselves in favor of
national and state publicity laws. The
organization has reason to believe
that it will continue to have the act

will steadfastly promote, so far as it
can through its state branches, the

MOTHER
AND BROTHER

SEATTLE, May 16.-Apparently
deserted by her mother and
brother, whom she has not seen for
seven years, Miss Myrtle Davis
who now lives at 805 Sixth av. ~,
has appealed to the police to help
her end a search of many weary
months.
When Miss Davis last heard from
her mother, Mrs. Emma E. Davis,
and her brother, Charles Brantner,
seven years ago, they weer in Sc
attic, but recent search failed to
develop trace of either.
In 1901 the girl, then a care-free
child of 13 years, left Seattle on a
trip to California while her mother
and brother remained here.
Miss Davis received letter from
her brother, who is lour years her
senior, in July, 1901, stating that
he was about to ship as a cook on
a vessel bound for St. Michael and
Dawson.
From that day to this Miss Davis
has received no word from either
mother or brother. She was then
10 years old and was thrown en-
tire1y on her own resources.
