PORTLAND. Sept. IA sentiment
is developing in Oregon that threatens

campaign contributions. Indignatlon
has been recently expressed in various
quarters oye.' the lack of law dealing
with those who attempt to buy public
office. Those demonstrating iisist
that contributions should be an JIca
book, ANA that officers of a political
party who deliberately falsify relative
to the amount of contributions should
be punishable by prison terms as they
are in tho case of perjured testimony
in court.
Whether or not there is a Doodle

president, it is no secret that money
has been literally employed in recent
political campaigns. Newberry is un-

hundreds of thousands of dollars to
purchase a seat in the senate. His
vote afforded the necessary majority
TO hold up the peace treaty in the sem
