Street Publicity.


The bill providing publicity for
campaign expenditures and contribu-
tons passed at the last session and
signed by President Taft is not what
the people have for years been de-
handing.
The house provided for publicity
before election, but the senate re-
fused to pass such a measure and as
a result of conference publicity will
not be made until after the elections
have taken place.
What's the use of publicity AFTER
an election, when what has been
done cannot be undone?
Publicity BEFORE an election
would seem to be the only kind OF
publicity worth anything; for then
the voters would be given timely
notice as to which party and candi-
dates were of, by and for the trusts
and which were of, for and by the
people
