merits of the Governments claim or
any other matter which Is now and

for my decision or judgment.
Congressman Woodruff OF Bay
City, Mich. is one Of my old friends
and good friends undoubtedly he
believes what he stated In regard to
the matter; on the other hand,
know that he is entirely mistaken In
making criticism of you and your
department in anything which has
happened up to this time or failed

tecting the Governments interests.
Because OF the activity of your de-
partment through the local United
States Attorney not one dollar OF
the fund has ever been paid out to
creditors and IL is being held here
intact by the court pending dis
position of the Governments claim.

time the Government investigated the
matter and heard what other inter-
ested parties had TO say has not and
could not jeopardize. / had thought
Of writing my friend Woodruff about

and also know that l understood 1t
fully, so ! could see no reason for
doing that In writing you about
the other matter. however I could
not resist the temptation of visiting
with you about this phase of the
matter which surely has nothing
whatever to do with the merits OF
the case. / am sure you will under
stand fully that the feeling on my
part and the knowledge on my part
that the criticism was unjust
prompted this reference.
No Apology Is Intended.
1.-THE record of the Department Of Jus
lice in connection with these war con
tract cases calls for no apology anc
none is intended. The work has beer
pressed to the fullest extent that tn.
FUNDS at my disposal would permit. II
has been carried on under my direction
by q few able and conscientious Off
GERS and attorneys, who have devoted
themselves to the task with untirins
energy. Because Of the need for the ut
most confidence and secrecy, informa-
lion as to the progress in the prepara
lion of the cases and the plans for theii
has. been restricted to the
officers in charge and, of course, has
not been divulged to minor employees
This accounts for much of this misin-
which has been circulated ir
reference to these cases. But as have
indicated, the plans are laid
md the work is under way, and all cases
will be energetically prosecuted. The
work can be greatly accelerated by the
granting of the request for special
appropriation for s50o.00o which you
recently submitted to Congress. and by
he prompt passage of the bill for ar
additional Grand Jury in the District

Hon. Robert Luce, House of Repre-
sentatives. Washington. .. c.
My DEAR Mr.. LUCE:
In yours OF the 31st ultimo, you
request my opinion as to whether
the decision in the case of United
States VS.. Newberry ct al. should
be construed as invalidating the
whole Of the corrupt practices act or
only so much thereof as relates to
primaries
I have not been able to give the
question sufficient consideration to
to fully answer your inquiry, but the
following suggestions may be Of some
assistance to you.
1t is my opinion that the New
berry decision should be construed
as invalidating all of the provisions
of the act referee to relating to
nomination for the office of Senator
or Representative in Congress,
whether by primaries. nominating
conventions or by Endorsement at
general or special elections. I am
also of the opinion that as to state
to be filed by the candidates for the
office Of Representative in Congress
under section s Of the act, the only
provision now in force and effect is
the one which requires such state
ments to be filed in connection with
the election of such candidates.
AS United States Senators are not
now elected by legislatures Of the
States as contemplated In the act. it
is my opinion that this fact in con-
nection with the holding in the New
berry section makes II unnecessary
for a candidate for United States
Senator to file any statement what
soever in connection with his nomi-
nation OF election.
IL the foregoing does not fully
meet the requirements Of the situa-
ton with which your committee Is
confronted, please advise me and
will be glad to give the matter fur
ther consideration.
Sincerely yours,
II. NJ. DAUGHERrY, Attorney General.

MY DEAR SENATOR:
The Attorney-General has referred
to me your letter OF the 2sth. En-
closed you will find copy Of his
statement to the press on the 25th,
together with copy of the final de-
cree In the case of United States VS..
Bricklayers, Masons and PlastererS
International Union ct al
No official opinion was given rela-
tive to the corrupt practices act. The
Attorney General did make the OBJ
servation to Congressman Robert
Luce that the Newberry decision
should be construed as invalidating
all of the provisions of the act re-
fered to relating to nominations for
the office Of Senator or Representa-
tive in Congress. whether by prima-
rfes, nominating conventions or by
endorsement at general or special
elections. / imagine this is the in
formation you desire.
He further observed that as to
statements OF receipts and disburse-
ments to be filed by candidates for
the office OF Representative in Con-
gress under Section s Of the act, the
only provision now In force and ef-
feet is the one which requires such
statements to be filed in connection
with the election Of such candidates.
Continuing he stated-'as United
States Senators are not now elected
by Legislatures of the States as con-
templated in the act. it is the natural
interference that this fact in connec-
tion with the holding in the New
berry decision, makes it unnecessary
for a candidate for United States
Senator to file any statement what
ever in connection with his nomina-
tion or election" Sincerely yours,

Public Is Amazed at
Continued Enormous
Demand for Tanlac

stored to health and happiness by tax
ing Tanlac.
TanIac has never been advertised as
a cure-all or that it would pretorm
unheard of wonders. The advertising
has been clean, Straightforward ana
conservative. Actual facts and flg-
urcs have been stated and stated IN
true. busincss-like way that has com
mandcd the confidence of all IN the
conservative claims set forth.
The enormous demand for Tanlac IS
due to merit alone, for no amount OF
advertising would continue to sell any
article that does not possess real
merit. Unless full value underlays
the article advertised, the advertising
will ultimately fall of its own weight.

some of the time, but you can't 1901

Tanlac has been we'll advertised, 1t
is true, hut such large and rapidly
growing demand could not be brought
about by advertising alone. 1t is
what the people themselves say that
counts. One bottle of Tanlac is sold
in neighborhood through advert's-
ing, but ten more are sold IN 1nat
same community as result OF the sale
of that first bottle and that IS whv
Tanlac has succeeded. People are al
WAYS willing to talk about their all
ments. but thew are more than glad TO
tell others of the medicine that helped
them. It is something they could not
keep to themselves if they tried, for
the impulse to sympathize with your
fellowman and want to help him is
one of the strongest, as we'll as one
of the biggest, things in human ma
ture.
That is the reason WHY the people
of every section of the United States
ond Canada. have become to speak of
Tanlac as the worlds greatest Tonic.
And that is the reason why the de-
mand for this remarkable medicine
has grown to such proportions that
it is almost impossible to keep dealers

GREATER ALEXANDRIA
For The cuZetteD

If 4 Greater Alexandria is placed

lethargy and don our thinking cap.
Well need also to doff our coat and
every scrap of dudish dud-put on our
overalls and boots and wade out in
the mud In palmer English, let me
say, we'll have to go to work. Let
none presume to idly stand, let none
presume to shirk.
Gorgeous castles in the air." are
built Of flimsy schemes; but every
thing that's worth our while, takes
something more than dreams. When
| was but boy in school | heard my
teacher say, that the city on the Tiber
want built I'D in day." and oft
I've read in Sacred writ" if your
house you'd have to stand, you needs
must build on solid rock and not on
shifting sand.
So a Greater Alexandria means
money, men and muscle; means toll
and talent, tact and time. and gump-
ton, grit and hustle. Means that q
superstructure, all worthy of the
name. must needs be built of sterner
stuff than hone of selfish gain Means
that superstructure commodious and
great cannot be built of "strawless
brick" like jealousy and hate. Means
sacrifice and faith and love, and days
of constant giving of all that's noblest

Let "a Greater Alexandria" be our
