ing for the popular election OF senat-
ors-and We call upon the people of
all the states to rally to the support of
The pending propositions 1or further
ratification.
We note with qualification the unan-
imous sentiment in favor of publicity
before the election OF campaign con
trlbutions, measure demanded in our
national platform of 1908 and at that
time opposed by the republican party,
ana we commend the democratic
house of representatives for extending
the doctrine of publicity to recommen-
datlons, verbal and written, upon
which presidential appointments are
made, to the ownership and control OF
newspapers and to the expenditures
made and in behalf OF those who as
pire to presidential nominations; and
we point for additional justification
for this Legislation to the enormous eX-
penditures Of money in behalf OF the
president and his predecessors in the
recent contest fer the republican nom
lnation for president.
