National issues have played an un-
usually prominent part for state con-
test and the tariff has been a fruitful
theme. In the closing hours Governor
Foss added an interesting issue by ask
ing the Suffolk county district attorney
TO take action against Republican lead
ers, both in and out of the state, in
cluding former President Roosevelt, be-
sides prominent corporations, on the
ground that the laws of the state pro-
hibiting the attacking of candidates by
unsigned articles had been violated. He
also declared that the Republicans had
been asking political contributions from
corporations and insurance companies
against the law The district attorney
found that while the statute prohibit
ed many of the things called to his at
tention, il failed to provide penalty
for such violations and was therefore
worthless.
