MAYOR CALLED "BLUFFER"
Campaign Fund Treasurer Says
Moore's "WarnIna" Is just Talk

Councilman John J. Mckinley, Jr.,
treasurer of the Republican Central
Campaign Committee, today declared
that Mayor Moores warning to police
and fircmen against paying campaign
contributions, was n bluff" Mr.. Nc
Kinley also asserted that the contribu-
tions came from the same sources as
those which paid large part of the
Mayors campaign expenses when he
was a Congressman.
There was absolutely no necessity"
he said "for the Mayor to issue in
structions to the police and firemen and
order them not to contribute toward
any campaign. Every one knows that
the new city charter positively prohibits
contributions of any kind from these
men. There have been no collections,
and no attempt has been made to col
lcct from them.
1.-The Mayor knows that full well
and is trying to bluff the people with his
statement. For the last five years the
finances for running the campaigns in
Philadelphia for the Republican Party
have come from other sources than city
employees. These same sources paid n
large part of the Mayors campaign ex-
penses for Congress during the last ten
years he was at Washington"
