Attorney General Wade H Ellis Of
Ohio. who was a-member Of the COM

This portion OF Mr.. Ellis statement.
The reason for the suppression will
be readily understood when il is re-
memhered that among the PROPOSE
tons which Mr.. Ellis says are in no

the following
Publicity Of campaign contributions.
A~scertaining the value of railroads.
The national income tax
The eneroachment OF predatory
wealth.

Mr.. Ellis has. perhaps. noticed that
