Show 3 BELIEVE AN ACT WILL BE PASSED Publicity in Expenditures and Contributions of Elections Demanded. i CHICAGO. Nov. 27. A dispatch to the ' Tribune from Washington, D. C, says: j Probably the most tangible result of the j insurance investigation will be a strong V effort to pass some sort of corrupt prac- .. tlces act so as to lequire publicity for all expenditures and contributions for Federal elections throughout the county. coun-ty. . Within a few days Chairman Cortel-; Cortel-; you of the Republican National com- j ' mittee will have ready a complete list f of all contributions made through him I in the last National campaign. As a L a result of the revelations in New York, the Postmaster-General after consulta tion with the President, is preparing to show up his books, and he probably will go on record as favoring some sort of law or a political custom which will prevent reception of political contributions contribu-tions from corporations. The President will take up the same matter in his message, and probably iwill urge such action by Congress as will put a stop to the unfairness of soliciting so-liciting or accepting contributions from corporations without a direct vote of all stockholders. |
