result has been that several candi-

away, and the election comes ten days
later. There is time yet for money to
be used, ard possibly the ten days be-

would be sufficient for the corpora
tions to become active and use their
stockholders money.
There is, however. the state law en-
acted at the last session prohibiting
corporations using money, and there Is
the Des Moines Plan bill which pro-
hibits any person doing any political
work in exchange for money or other

know there Is law against it. and 1t
Is doubtful whether the corporations
will use any of their money in the city

big risk OF getting caught.
