O'FLAHERTY By T. vias the Reed slush fund investiga- tion showed that the sum of $500,- 000 was spent to secure the G. O. P. nomination for Frank b. Smith of Illinois, Frank's report shows that he neither received nor spent a dime in his primary fight. Mr. Vare of Penn- sylvania, who spent nearly a million dollars to win the G. O. P. nomina- tion was a little bit more culpable than Smith, Vare admitted that he wasted $133; Is this a mystery to you? If so, here is the solution. The poodle was received and spent by the committees charged with putting Messrs. Vare and Smith over the tape. Any flaw that cannot be gotten over is a bum law! This is *he position of the lawmakers, . F course, for the masses the case is different. Laws ate not made to bring grief to the lawmakers, Wars ate not fought ‘by those who are responsible for them, What hypo- erites our’rulers are? They pass laws for the ostensible purpose of prevent- ing gigantic expenditures of money in political campaigns, but because they know that without the boodle a can- didate stands little chance of getting elected they immediately begin to de- vise ways and means of getting around the law. Now, no matter how much money & candidate, may spend. it is not his fault. The blame rests on his committee, ee q BH did his best, even tho he may. have been at times mistaken.
