CAMPAIGN FUNO PUBLICITY

Although not without opposition
from unexpected quarters as we'll
as from that part of the House of
representative from which resist
ance was apprehended the
Rucker bill for the publicity of
campaign funds before election
has been passed by a unanimous
vote.
Under the statute preceding
the new law, that had to Go with
giving out the sources and amounts
OF campaign contributions to
national and congressional CON nit
tees the information was made
public after the election had taken
place. The purpose Of this plan
was patented on its face. Ii YVES
another subterfuge of imperialism.
The influence of publicity on the
sources and the amounts of the
donations was greatly minimized
after the results sought for by the
contributor had beeo gained.
1t is not irrelevant at this
jdncture to infer that if publicity
hal been. given the sources from
whish tha late Mark Hanna drew
his ehJrmOus POUNDS to carry on
the campaigns of 1896 and 1900,
the results might not have been
quite SANE. 1t is likewise in
teresting to note statement in the
congressional record. of some years
ago. when Representative William
Sulzer showed that the funds of
1896 reached the almost incredible
figure of 100000 and for 1900
the sum of 50, 900, COO: while the
democratic funds for the same
purpose, and the same time,
amounted to $500, 600 and S4EO,.
600 respectively.
Tn" great purpose of the pro-
posed statute has its foundation in
strong motive for reform. 1t is
mainly to distin lively separatr
the great industrial combinations
and corporations from politics, and
to subordinate the influence tn ose
powerful elements exert during
crucial political periods. - National

grand jury on the charge of arson
created considerable excitement in
town. Mr.. Primeaux is an old
resident of Tuscarora and has
been in business there for many
years.
On the 10th of last June, the
store of A. w. Sewall & Co. in
Tuscarora with its contents. con-
sisting Of merchandise valued at
$4,000. was burned. An investi-
CATION was made at the time AMI
William Dye was arrested and
charged with the crime. He was
held to appear before the grand
jury and in default of $1,000 bail
was comitted to the county Jail.
1t is charged that Dye was hired
by the Primeauxs to- burn the
store. Whether or not this is the
case will be shown at the trial. An
army of witnesses was examine /
by the grand jury and the indict-
ment followed
1t might be we'll for the public
to suspend judgement on the guilt
or innocence of the defendants until
they have had an opportunity to
prove their innocence.
