BESIDES this we are paying the ma

gray headed.
You owe us $33 for this year. !

Say Law Is Violated
This letter was written to a post
master, woman. The letter was writ
ten in violation of the corrupt nrac-
tices act The call on April d upop the
postmaster at the Federal Building was
IN violation of the criminal code. vet
these offenses go unpunished. Above
al, the amount of the campaign Doodle
raised in this unlawful way is not made
public. Why?
How Mr.. Cox and Franklin D
Roosevelt would roar if the Republican
National Committee resorted to such
illegal methods. 1t is with such q
record of lawlessness by the Demo
cratic party that its nominees for the
nigh offices of President and Vice
President demand an investigation OF
their adversary. BY all means let the
investigation proceed Because it will
take time is not justification for re-
fusing to make it. Let the nvestiga-
tion be thorough-let it be above
all, let it be complete.
TO one familiar with the methods
of the. Democratic party in collecting
campaign funds their purpose in rails
ing the question is apparent While
they are crying to the Republican party
managers Stop thief!' their Demo
cratic organization has been getting
away with the DOODLE This brazen at
tempt to distract attention from their
own illegal methods of raising money
by charging wrongdoing in their ad-
versaries will not succeed.
Let the Senate committee investi-
gate violations of law by high Demo
cratic officials in raising campaign
funds, where the offenders have been
permitted to go scot free. If the pub
lie is to have the truth let it have all
the truth. Let the illegal collection
of campaign funds by Democrats be
investigated as we'll as Republican
budgets"
Investigation Is Demanded
Mr.. Good refers to report by the
United States Civil Service Commits
sion concerning levying of political as
sessments against Federal officials and
employees, and then continues:
Let the Senate committee investi-
gate and then tell the public how
much money has been raised and is
being raised by these illegal practices
for the election of Cox and Franklin
D. Roosevelt. Why have these serious
violations of the law by Democratic
officials escaped the attention of Gov
ernor Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt ?
They certainly know of them. They
also know that men high in the coun-
ellis of the Democratic national organi-
zation have resorted to other Illegal
practices to raise campaign contribu-
tions
"Let the Civil Service Commission
be called. Let postmasters and gov
ernment employees be called. The
public will be satisfied with nothing
short of a full and fair investigation
and when that investigation is com
pleted Cox and Franklin D. Roosevelt
will have a practical application of
the soundness of the old adage requir-
ing a person who seeks an investiga
tion to come with clean hands"
