Mr. Taft's argument for the pub
lication OF campaign contributions
after election, rather than before, Is
not without FEASIBILITY. The chief
purpose Of the various laws on the
subject IL, OF course. that The people
shall ultimately know who gave the
money and how 1t vas spent and
that corruption Of the electorate shall
be prevented. There Is also posi-
billty that the publication OF the
names will afford a preiext for cheap
partisan clamor against this man or
that But the Mccall bill, which
Mr. Taft approved, provided for pub
iicatlon before election. And as u
clap-trap aud possible misconstruc-
ton OF motives-wfiat Is fair for one
side IL fair for the other. The re-
publicans have no monopoly OF vir-
tue. II the democrats come out
with their report, the worst con
struction can and will be placed on
