'amptign Slush Funds Are Doomed
Washington, Sept. 4.?The startling
evelations of the Kenyon committee
1 preconvention days, followed by
lie sensational charges that colossal
slush funds" are now being raised
y both big parties, mark the spectaelar
windup of a political system
enceforth doomed, senators and con
ressmen here today stated with grim
ods of the head.
Ono ofe the first laws to be passed
y the new Congress, whether that
ongress be controlled by Democrats
r Republicans, it was predicted allost
unanimously, will be a law to
ut federal elections under federal
jntrol, and to limit expenditures to
here there can be no possible susicions
of corrupt practices.
At the same time the warning was
ttered that politicians at fancy salries,
party headquarters with ex avagant
rentals, vast retinues of
llaried political lieutenants, and
[her expensive appurtenances to the
resent system, are soon to be releated
to the limbo of things that used
> be.
The suggestion made at Chicago
y former Chairman Homer S. Cumlings,
of the Democratic National
ommittee, and chairman Wi'l H.
ays, of the Republican National
ommittee, that reforms are very
?cessary, found hearty concurrence
?re.
"There should be a liimtation
laced on presidential campaign ex2nditures
in primaries, in preconrntion
work and in general elecons,"
Congressman Edward C. Lite,
Republican, of Kansas, declared.
For years I have urged such limitaons.
"The fact is, 90 per cent of the elecon
money raised and expended in
residential campaigns is wasted.
"Tons of printed matter are gotten
at and not read. Only a few are invested
in this stuff. The many pay
o attention to it. It is a waste of
laterial, labor and transportation.
"Money is squandered in extravaant
headquarters in a hundred dif>rent
ways.
"The limitations placed on party
tpenditures should apply to individil
expenditures. A man with $5 adacating
an idea or an issue can do
a harm. A man with a million doltrs
to push an idea, an issue, or an
idividoal, may prove a corruptionist
nd an unmitigated evil. It is a case

"Hoth of the great political parties
lould be made to get along with
ss money than they have been col
ctmg and spending. Expensive potical
machines have been built up
ith hangers-on who make that their
>lc means of livlihood.
"I am opposed to that system,
here should be regulation by law."
Congressman Scott Ferris, Demorat,
of Oklahoma, was just as emhatic.
"It would be a wholesome thing."
p declared, "to curb such expendijres
by legislation in some practiil
way."
That a law giving federal authoi,ies

ithout debate, however, was clearly
idicated.
"I cannot help feeling a little
larmed over what seems to me to
e a growing tendency to centralize
ur government more and more in
Washington and take more and more
f the individual states' prerogatives
way from them," Senator William
[. King, Democrat, of Utah, said.
"We are gradually taking away
rom the states the right to legislate
or themselves. We are forcing womn
suffrage on some states that do
ot want it and prohibition on other
tates which object to prohibition, and
o on, thus centralizing government
ere in Washington as Napoleon cenralized
the government of France in
aris.
"I do not question the right of the
oderal government to exercise conrol
over general elections, but I do
ustion the desirability of so doing
or the above reason. Leave it to the
bates.
"I also observe another growing
endency, which is that we try to
"" '""Ho onrl illc hv statute.

t can't be done. Publicity is much
etter. If we tell the people everyhing
that is going on and why, many
f our troubles would fade away of
hemselves.
"De Toequoville was right when he
aid the cure for the evils of demoracy
is more democracy. Let's have
;ss law and more general knowledge
o remedy what ails us, and let's
top trying to run the country from
Washington so much, and give the
tates a chance to run their own afairs
a little more."
Senator King expressed him.^flf as
pposed as much as anyone to over
. \
size campaign f^ffds, but thinks th
matter could be safely left to th
states and the public, once contri
butions and expenditures are pub
i lished broadcast.
Sentiment here, however, amoni
j both Republican and Democratic part;
i leaders appeared overwhelmingly i:
j favor of fedefal regulation of the na
I tional election.

would have been a great sacrifice U

I hold no hard feelings towards any, a:
they had a perfect right to elect whon
they thought more suitable for th<

selections, they will elect those wh<
will look after and protect our inter

than I could hare done. I hope al
will go to the polls next Tuesday as
will do. and try to elect men that w<
