A WORK OF ART

The brass wicket for the Elks' lodge
room which was described in the
Washington Standard of last Friday,
will be one of the hansomest peices
of work of its kind in this section

Mr.. Parrott has put in a great deal

They had travelled in all nearly 1000
miles, stopping at the largo cities en-
route sometimes for several weeks
as they were on a sightseeing tour
He reckoned that they had spent 40
travelling days on the road, so that
their daily distance covered was
something more than $50 miles.

Senators Kenyon and Reed went
into the effect Of the joint arrange
ment campaign whereby certain State
organizations agreed to raise their
funds under auspices Of the National
Committee and receive back a fixed
proportion OF the money for state
purposes.
Mr.. Upham agreed with Senator
Reed that in States where there was
no such arrangement there was Moth
ing to prevent the state and county
committees from collecting any size
fund they could raise.
The witness maintained, however,
that In the United States, where the
joint arrangement was In use, addi-
t.onal collections would be so difficult
as TO be practically prohibltlve.
Il think no one could go over that
territory again and raise funds be-
cause every man approached would
say. I have been seen and have con-
tributed,' he explained.

ator Reed. "They do not see one an

the money had been received by him
and paid out according TO the deci-
sion OF the judges. Senator Reed
raised laugh by inquirng whether
the committee gave that amount for
the platform adopted by the Chicago
convention and asking whether this
would not constitute "a clear demon
stratlon that money contributed to
political committees is wasted"
Mr.. Upham reioined that as Treas
urer no had merely received and ac-
counted for the money and did not
award the prize"
Mr.. Upham explained that only
5000, 900 OF these loans could actually

Senatorial Committee was to get only
100000 before Nov. 2. The other
$780, 900 IL 70 DO used to finance fu-
ture campaigns.
Senator Reed, Cross examining Mr..
Upham, brought out that money ad-
vanced the two committees was on
straight lonns, and was not included
in the budget OF approximately
100000 whdch Chairman Hays told
OF yesterday.

Is7O.-About all that the investi.Sa-
non Of campaign finance by the
United States Senate has revealed
thus far-and probably all that II
ever will revea. lis that the laws Of
l the United States and the individual
states do not adequately protect the
American people against corruption.
Both the Republican and Demo-
cratic leaders VINO have testified
made dt clear that there Is no way
OF telling just how much money Is
raised inside the States for National
purposes either by organizations os-
tensibly independent Of the regularly
formed political committee of the
States of the Union, such as the
Hughes alliances OF 1916 or the Anti
Saloon League or the liquor dealers

tion 10 his respective political foes
and while there was an occasional
colloquy that seemed for the moment
sharp, the best OF feeling and good
nature characterized the investiga-
,tion. One almost got the impression
that the Republicans and Democrats
who organized the campaigns would
breathe a sigh Of relief II laws were
enacted to prevent independent or
foundations from doing things which
the national committees are to-day
&powerless to prevent being done
Heither in the name of Republicanism

Spencer, Republican. asked Homer
Cummings to make some suggestions
Of possible legislation that would
purify elections and he indicated that
II wouldn't teke him and VIII Hays
long to draft such proposals based on
ftbeir respective experiences.
Mr.. Cummings was very useful TO
