BOW TO SPECIAL INTERESTS
Recent Developments Have Shown
How the Republican Party is
Influenced"

The influence of special interests on
Legislation at Washington has been q

suspected. These developments have
resulted from Democratic investiga-

tary plans. All of which means that
special interests not only frame legis-
lation but supervise execution Of
laws.
