To the Democrats of Lafayette
County;

OOuAAyJ
There is a nationwide senti
ment against favor-seeking in.
terests financing political cam.
Daigns, and the most w~le-
way to throttle that insid-
ious encroachment upon the
rights of those who want JUS
tice substituted for favoritism
in the affairs of government, is
for the individual citizen to
realize that a responsibility
rests upon him to contribute fl
nancially for the f%urtherance of
those political ideas that are
consonant with his own views
of justice in government affairs.
The frank and positive refusal
of Missouri's candidate for pres
ident, Hon. Champ Clark, to ac-
cept campaign donations from
questionable sources, brings the
question of the people financing
campaigns squarely up to those
who are demanding justice as be-
tween organized monopoly on
one hand and the everyday cIti-
zen on the other,
1t is perfectly clear to all SEN
sible men that no campaign, nat
ional in it's scope, can be CON
Quoted without the legitimate ex-
5 penditure of quite a lot of money.
If we want a president of and
r for the common people, we, the
!, plain, everyday citizens must
l contribute modestly to see that
+ the candidate who most nearly
represents our ideas is gwen a
fair, square opportunity to win
upon the issues and his merits.
The attitude of Speaker Clark
o should appeal to honest men Oh
n every political faith, and hi'
# positive enunciation of such {

n conscience and loosen the purs'
strings of every honest reforme
