The great mistake of the Public
ity Bill is that it makes no provision
whatever for publicity in state af-
fairs, where it is evident there are
whole worlds of graft, but confines
its energies to county affairs, where
there is little or no graft at all.
Most Of the publicity the Publicity
Bill gives nobody cares anything
about, and what they would like to
know is not given.
