CAMPAIGN FUNDS
Chairman Hilles Says Republican
National Committee Will
Obey Law

NEW YORK, Sept, chairman
Hilles, of the republican national
committee, has discovered what ne
believes to be law specifically d.
recting that all national political
committees must make public a
complete statement of the contribu-
tons received by them, and has an
nounced that the republican national
committee will abide by this law.
The law in question is the act
known as the congressional cam
paign and publicity act, which was
approved by President Taft on Aug
ust 10, 1911, and which was de-
signed primarily to provide publicity
for all funds contributed to national
organizations seeking the success of
that party's congressional ticket.
Believes it Mandatory
Mr.. Hilles, however, has found in
the preliminary wording of the act
such phraseology as leads him to-
believe it is mandatory upon all ma
tional committees to let the cat out
of the bag not more than fifteen and
not less than ten days prior to the
November elections. The paragraph
in question is as follows:
THE term political committee
under the provisions of this act.
shall include the national committed
of all political parties and the ma
tional congressional campaign COM
mittees of all political parties"
This paragraph, of course, is fol-
lowed by others specifying the time
within which all committees shalt
make public statements of their CAM
paign fund contributions, which, the
law says, are to be filed with the
clerk of the house of representatives.
Speaking of the intention of the
republican national committee tn
abide by this law. Chairman Hilles
said today:
Law Compels Publicity
THE treasurer of the democratic
national committee made public
statement recently to the effect that
that committee would publish cam-
paign fund contributions prior to the
election. The committee, 1t seems Ia
me, was patting itself on the back
because it was voluntarily virtuous.
AS a matter of fact, the law which
provides for publicity of contribu-.
tions in congressional elections is so
general and sweeping in it's charac-
ter that it compels publicity of all
contributions made for the purpose
of influencing elections at which rep-
resentatives in congress are efecreu,
and provides that the term political
committee under the provisipns of
the act, shall include the national
committees of all political parties. as
well as the national congressional
committees. kAhFAA
This law requires the treasurer Of
every political committee to Ale in
the office of the clerk of the house
of representatives detailed state
ment of all receipts not more Tran
fifteen days and not less than ten
days prior to an election

SIX DAY BICYCLE
 RACING GAME IS NOT
 so BAD AS TT LOOKS

When the bicycle speed merchants of America and Europe gather in today to begin the annual six-day grind, the pulpit, press and public'' will indulge in the usual criticism of always made about the fearful agonies suffered by the riders have a slight basis of truth, but if the statements of the participants themselves are to be accepted, the picture has been vastly exaggerated. Monotony and boredom ere the worst of the evils from which they y ufrsr & aocording ina;,1 to the sestimony track a dozen hours a day for six days grows a bit tiresome. Of course, there IS a certain amount of fatigue connected with the job. but a hod- carrier gets just as tired before his days stunt is over.
 That the game isn't permanently in furious to the health is shown by the fact that many of the riders entered in the New York contest are little short of patriarchs. There are nearly a score of riders who have been at them-a decade or more The New York race, while most important of any on this side of the Atlantic. is only one of a circuit of United States and Canadian cities, and when the American season fs over the riders go to Europe and keep on with the game. If these grinds were as killing as they have been pictured, the men could not keep it up year after year. In fact, a bicycle rider, if he takes care of himself, can stick to his trade longer than the men in almost any other pro- fessional sport
 It is the experience of most riders that rest of 8 few days( or at most 9. week, is plenty long enough in which to fully recuperate from the terrible grind of a six-day race. Of course, a man with a weak heart or bum lungs would do better to stick to checkers or croquet, rather than tackle the six day game The six-day bicycle race has been an annual event in New York since 1891. This years event, begin ing shortly after midnight next Mon day morning, will be thoroughly inter national in character, with riders from Australia. New Zealand France, Italy, Germany. Sweden and Switzerland competing against the best American cyclists.
