Who's buying your vote? Before you answer,

many candidates get vital campaign funds

Florida to the campaign fund of Governor
Fuller Warren, Florida being one of the
few states which legalizes greyhound racing.
Testimony was given before the committee
that the head of union of municipal employ
ees had secretly passed $4,000 in cash to ex-
Mayor O,Dwyer of New York on the veranda
of Oracle Mansion as political donation
But the public learns about episodes Of this
kind only when Congressional committees,
armed with Federal sleuths and the power of
subpoena, can dig and search for months.
Most of the time the voters never really know
who pays for the billboards, the luxurious
hotel headquarters, the pretty models who
hand out buttons and literature.
One afternoon sat in the Office of leading
businessman in my home city of Portland,
Ore. II suppose you saw in the papers where
was listed for contribution of $1,000" said
the businessman and he mentioned the cam

this, but never put up that SUM at all. In
moment of weakness, agreed to let them use
my name to conceal some shady money they
couldn't properly account for without suffer-

one respectable as a contributor, and 50 they
named me"
As left the businessman's Office, specu-

$1,000. l decided it was the underworld -

Paxades. Rallies
Once the voters were reached by torchlight
parades and boisterous rallies. These were
comparatively inexpensive. A brass band and
tossing banners would be the sole out-of-
pocket items. Men and women for miles
around would drive all day IN buckboards and
ancient automobiles to hear a speaker like
Woodrow Wilson or Fighting Bob La Toilette.

many other states where no effective corrupt

The fact of the matter Is that restraints on
campaign slush funds ceased to function in the
United States when imitation of World War II
started. Where nickels and dimes once would
put candidate into Office. 9eenbacks sudden
ly began to be required. Today, no holds are
barred. Managers of political races frequently
pick up money wherever they can get It. Up
right and honest nominees are committed
without consultation to back-hall deals by
men who must keep the campaign Golfers
filed. After the votes have been counted, the
victorious candidate abruptly discovers that
he does not enter Office as free and unfettered
as he had imagined.

their own funds to free themselves.
