THE "SLUSH FUND" BUBBLE
minneapolis JOurnaD

minneapolis JOurnaD
The large and iridiscent bubble,
blown by Senator LaFollette, and
labeled "Republican slush fund"
has been burst by the touch of
fact. 1t appears from the evidence
produced before Senator BOrah's
committee in Chicago that the
total amount so far raised for the
Republican campaign, including
various contributions to the Sen
ate, House and State campaigns, is
$l,7l4,3l7 As nearly 1900 per-
sons contributed, the average do
nation is about hundred tJllars.
The largest single amount given
turer who could scarcely have
been animated by the base motives
Senator LaFollette likes to as"ribe
to anyone who contributes To the
Republican campaign.
The net amount of $1,342,959
available for carrying on the Ma
tiOnal campaign and for reaching
forty or fifty million American
voters, is plainly far too small to
qualify as Senator LaFollette's
cherished "slush fund" 1t has
had to be carefully husbanded and
prudently expended to cover the
bare expenses OF a campaign
which has largely run itself.
1t is no surprise to find the La
Toilette campaign fund reported
as very small--less than 100000.

through the Conference for Pro-
gressive Political Action. and so
on.
Senator Borah should insist on
disclosures by all these agencies of
the sources and size of their cam
paign funds. Doubtless, it will be
found that the total LaFOllette
funds approximate in amount that
OF the Republicans.
The Democratic finances are as
yet somewhat haZy, but evidently
the going has been hard and finan-
cial help hard to get.
But it is plain that, despite the
heavy legitimate expenses invOlv-

ent one has been carried on at a
remarkable minimum of expendi-

PSALMISTS WIN
Pennsylvania Presbytcrians Vote. Ky Close Margin. Not to Sing Any Hymns in Church.

Those voteing in favor of psalms only num- bercd 659. while 625 voted to include hymns. Church leaders said the bal- lot was so complicated that it was probable the general assembly to be held in Richmond, Ind, beginning May 2S. would simplify the questions involved and order a new vote taken.
 Fifty-eight American presbyterla . gave slight majority for hymns but this was offset by the heavy vote for psalms only in II foreign Presby- teries.
 A large majority was given the revised articles of faith, but inc preamble. giving the new creed pt'- cadence over the Westminster confcs- sion and other creedal documents was rejected, Gil to 692.
