PLAN OF TWO SENATORS
Gore and La Toilette Wanted
Opposition to Revenue Bill.
Started a Nationwide Propaganda
Which Was Revealed by Recip-
tents of Letters.

Washington, Oct. 2.-There has
been revealed to their colleagues and
members of the House an attempt of
Senators Gore Of Oklahoma, and Rob-
ert NJ La Toilette TO stir up nation
wide opposition TO the war revenue bill
as passed by the senate.
They sought to utilize the services
of certain county officials in this
propaganda work
But instead OF helping to spread dis
sention over the merits of a war
measure many of these officials at
once notified their senators and rep
resentatives of the activities of Gore
and La Toilette.
A multigraphed letter dated Sep
signature of these two senators was
mailed at the postoflice here at $50
p. m, September IL, the day after the
Senate passed the war revenue bill, to
county clerks. presumably in all states.
Asked for Names.
Enclosed with the single page let.
ter were a stamped, self-addressed en-
velope and four sheets of blanks upon
which the recipient was asked to place
the names of three intelligent and
public spirited citizens who take an
interest in matters relating to taxa.
tion, in each precinct, township or
civil subdivision of your county.
There were spaces for ten precincts
or thirty names on each blank, OF
120 for each clerk to furnish
In addition to the township or pre-
cinct, name and postofilce, the coun
ty clerks were asked to tell the oc
cupations of those whose names were
sent to the Senators.
The letter and enclosures were
mailed in an envelope bearing Sen
ator Cores return mark. Four cents
postage was required.

Minnesota and Wisconsin are as
