extremely interesting speech by Mr.
Madden on this subject
Howard conversely. a college for
colored students in the District Of Co
lunbia, is a private institution, but Tor
many years it has been the practice Of
the Federal Government to make an
annual appropriation to help in the
maintenance Of the institution. It is
interesting to note what Mr.. Madden
has done for the University. In the
first year Of his membership on the
Appropriations Committee, the aid
granted by the Federal Government
was but $4,000. Mr.. Madden has
been able to increase this amount from
year to year and for the current year
he secured an appropriation Of $685.
600. In addition to this large appro-
priation Mr.. Madden was able to Sc
cure authority and money for the cree
ton Of an assembly hall, gymnasium,
armory, athletic and drill field, and
concrete stands, the total cost of
which is Sl97, 500. These improve
ments are now being completed.
The same can be said of Mr.. Mad
denis interest in Freedmen's Hospital.
In his first year in Congress the ap-
preparation for the hospital was $2S, 900.
For the current year the appropriation
is $l74,7OO, and in addition to this a
new medical building with equipment
is just being completed at cost Of
$500.
Mr.. Madden voted for the loan to
Liberia and has always taken keen
interest in the affairs Of this Republic.
In the appropriation bill for the Dis
trict Of Columbia for the current year
Mr.. Madden provided for the construc-
ton Of bathing beach, tennis courts,
golf course, and other recreation CEN
tiers for the colored people Of Wash
ington.
The official records Of the Veterans
Bureau show that Mr.. Madden has
been interested in the adjustment Of
over 5000 claims for compensation, in
surance and allowances of colored SOL
diers of the late war.
In addition to this, through Mr..
Madden's efforts, special facilities have
been provided for the care Of sick and
wounded colored soldiers in the vari-
Gus Government hospitals throughout
the country.
The opportunity offered to the voters
of the First District should not be
passed over lightly. We should avail
ourselves Of the privilege Of returning
to Congress man so distinguished in
public affairs OF the nation and so
faithful to the best interests Of the
people Of this district.
The Craftsmanship Of the Appropria-
lions Committee. held BY Mr.. Madden,
was never 90 important as now The
position has been occupied in the past
by such men as James A. Garfield,
Samuel Randall and Joseph G. Can
non, the latter two Of whom were
elevated TO the Speakership. The pres
ent Speaker Of the House has just been
nominated for the Senate in Massa-
chusetts. The most logical man for
Speaker and the one most urged to
succeed Mr.. Gillett is Representative
Madden. We cannot afford to let such
an unusual honor pass from this Con-
gressional District by failing to return
him to the House
Mr.. Madden's public record is filled
with true achievement, he is loyal
and ardent Republican, he is real ma
tional character, and an asset to the
people not only Of the First District
and Chicago, but the nation.

LaGuardia Measure Provides
for Spending Money Collect
ed Within State

Restriction of the use of cam
paign funds to the political cam
paign within the State in which
such funds are collected is provided
in a bill introduced in the House
by Congressman LaGuardia Pro)
of New York.
The bill is aimed at big inter-
ests" and is designed to prevent
them from acquiring commanding
influence with the Administration
and the Congress to the successful
election they contributed and from
whom special favors may be sought.
LaGuardia says II may take
some time to bring about the pas
sage of his bill. but he is certain
that before long the country will
demand regulation Of campaign
funds along lines suggested by him.
The bill makes 1t unlawful for
any person to donate to political
campaign outside his or her own
State, and prohibits all corporations
or an alien from making any con-
tributions at all.
i TIC liOuUIS WIFI OuT WHVlO PO-
litical system just now" saws La
Guardia. lis that the hand that
writes the contribution check is the
hand that writes the platform. In
order to prevent the big moneyed
interests of the country controlling
legislation it is necessary to control
campaign funds and political con-
tributions.
"My bill would require political
parties to have a State treasurer
in each State who could solicit and
collect funds only within his own
State. All contributions collected in
a State could be spent only in that
State. Such a law would prevent
the big railroads. steel industries,
banking interests. packing trusts,
| oil and coal barons and the like. all
of which are centrally located, from
piling up a big campaign fund to
be used all over the country and
thereby acquire political control or
at least put the beneficiaries of
such funds under obligations to
their special selfish interests"
