ing publicity to large gifts for pc,

ing publicity to large gifts for po-
litical purposes is all right but
there are many ways of beating the
devil around the stump and large
donations can be and frequently
are disguised. Sometimes it is
done by giving in other peoples
names. Sometimes the result is
achieved by scattering a big do
nation among a lot of state COM
mittees in pivotal states. Some
times it is done by holding the sub
scription in lei to meet def
cts after election. There are diff
ferent ways of skinning a cat, and
the politicians are expert in many
ways. Something like three
quarters of a million dollars have
been contributed and most of it
spent, according to this report, to
elect a republican house and sen
ate. If the truth were known, a
great deal more than this has
been spent, and in our opinion,
largelyNwasted, in that effort.
