We cannot agree that MT Bryan is as successful as MT, Taft in the consid- cration of the questions involved in money contributions to party treas- urlcs. His last uttcrance on that sub ject suggests that he has been put in q hole by tho clear analysis of the propo- sition by Mr. Taft When Taft got through with 1t there was nothing left to say.
