the language of the letter as publish
ed by the oregonian:
:" 1T is incumbent upon every citizen
to make an extraordinary effort to up
hold the politics of our great Presi-
dent, which can be done only by elect
ing to the Senate and House of Rep
resentatives those who are 100 per cent
American, in accordance with the aims
of the Administration.
IA broad, comprehensive educa-
tional campaign is being conducted
throughout the country. 1t is neces-
sarily expensive.
You are now given an opportunity
TO do something real. and we hope you
will make an early contribution with
the knowledge that what you will do
will help place the National Admins
tration in n position to increase its
efforts in the prosecution of the war
Although the plea is ostensibly for
the election of Senator's and Repre-
sentatives who are 100 per cent Ameri-
can, the funds are to be used only for
the election of Democrats, so the nee
cssary inference is that only Demo-
Gratis are 100 per cent American. The
money will be used to re-elect Champ
Clark, Kitchin, Dent, and other Demo-
Gratis who fought the selective draft
aw, without which this war could not
have been conducted for a week by
American troops.
THE statement that you are now
given an opportunity to do something
real is an implied assumption that
men who have bought Liberty Bonds,
paid war taxes, contributed to the Red
Cross and conserved food stuffs, have
done nothing real until they contribute
to the Democratic campaign fund.
The whole letter and the manner
Of its distribution, if the press reports
are correct, is a base perversion of war
business for partisan political ends. 1t
is an insult to more than half of the
voters of America. 1t is misrepre-
sentation of the Republicans in Com
gress. 1t is one of the most repre-
hensible attempts ever made by pol
itical party to exact toll from govern
ment contractors. This action of the
Democratic National Committee should
be Severely rebuked by the voters in
the November elections"

In the location and promotion and
building of meritorious irrigation en-
terprises in southeastern Colorado, he
has given worlds of time, the benefit
of trained engineering experience, 4
great deal of money and reams of pub
licity through his newspaper-The Las
Animas Leader-that they might be
successful and that his native state
might be developed. And, as usual in
such enterprises, his financial gain
has been many times on the wrong
side of the ledger.
A man with imagination and ability
and energy, he has left-and is leav-
ing-an indelible impression on his
end of the state that even time cannot
obliterate. The kind of man that will
make the state competent official and
a credit to the party that has nomin-
ated him for Secretary of State.

CONTRACTORS CANVASSED
FOR CAMPAIGN CONTRIBUTION
Base peryersion of War Business for
Political Ends.

Washington, Get. THE Republic
can Publicity Association. through its
President, Hon Jonathan Bourne. Jr.,
today gave out the following state
ment from its Washington headquart-
ers:
According to news article in the
Portland Oregonian of September II.
1913. the Democratic National Com
mittec is soliciting Congressional cam
paign contributions from both Repub-
licans and Democrats who are officers
or stockholders in ship-building COM
panics engaged in building ships for
the government and depending upon
further contracts from the same
source. If this has been done, it is
rcprchensiblc in the highest degree. If
this has been done in Oregon, it has
doubtless been done in every other
section of the country where govern
ment contracts have been let. Direct
and personal solicitation of partisan
contributions from q concern having 4
war contract is the grossest kind Of
utilization Of the war for partisan pol
itical purposes.
"There could be no criticism of ac-
ceptauce Of voluntary campaign con.
tributions from individual Democrats
to . Democratic campaign fund, ever
if those contributors had government
contracts. But direct solicitation Of
contributions is an entirely different
thing. particularly when the solicita
tion is directed TO Republicans as wei
as Democrats. Solicitation of fund.
in that manner leaves the necessary
inference that the contributions are ex
pcctcd because the men have govern
mcnt war contracts, rather than be
cause they believe in the principles ant
practices Of the Democratic party.
"Perusal of the letter sent to offic
ers and stockholders of bodybuilding
companies win show that ii is not only
an attempt to get a rake-off from gov
eminent contracts, but is a repetition
of the false claim that only Democrat
are 100 per cent American. Here il
