Money Campaigns Wanted?

eve believe that the legislation should
enact such a law as shall surround the
political party caucuses with the same
safeguards as now protect the election
at the polls. And we further recon-
mend such legislation as shall compel
candidates for party nominations and
political Offices to make public an item
lied account of their campaign expenses
and such other notifications OF the ex
isting statute regarding corrupt prac-
tices in political campaigns and elections
as shall tend more certainly to secure
the free choice Of the peoples servants
in the government and make the man
ner and method OF that choice clear of
any features repugnont 10 the enhght-
ened sense of a democratic people"
This was one of the Republican plat
form pledges enthusiastically accepted
in the last state convention. after a
campaign in which the charge of the
use Of money in the preconvention can
vass was freely made
Yet the Senate turned down the bin
designed to remedy this evil without
giving il the slightest show for its life.
Later an attempt TO have the meas
ure reconsidered was voted down "a to
r. If, as claimed, there were obiec-
tionable features in the bin an honest
attempt ought TO have been made TO
eliminate them. rather than to slaughter
the measure
1t has already gone out to the eon-
try at large that the Vermont Repabli
cans have no sympathy for a measure
calculated TO guard against money cam
paigns. How do the people like this
sort Of a thing
Is the action Of the Senate. which is
supposed to be largely representative Of
Republican leadership. a notice T. the
newspapers that opposed the money
methods of the last campaign that they
had bettert not interfere in this direc-
tion il tho FUTURE
Certainly the Senates action IS not
intended 20 encourage the advocacy Of
moneyless campaigns. 1t may. however
