LAWS GOVERNING
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
ARE INADEQUATE
BY DAVID lAWBENCE
(Copyright, 1920, for The Atlanta Journal.)
CHICAGO, Aug. 31. —About all that
the investigation of campaign finance
by tne United States senate has re
vealed thus far and probably all that
it ever will reveal—is that the laws
of the United States and the indi
vidual states do not adequately pro
tect the American people against
corruption. .
Both the Republican and Demo
cratic leaders who have testitied
make it clear that there is no way
of telling just how money is raised
inside tne states for national pur
poses either by organizations ostensi
bly independent of the regularly
formed political committees of the
states of the union such as the
Hughes alliances of 1916, or the
Anti-Saloon league or the liquor deal
ers’ associations or any other insti
tutions interested in electing or de
feating the candidates of the differ
ent parties.
Neither Homer S. Cummings, re
tiring national chairman of the Dem
ocratic committee, nor Will Hays, the
Republican chairman, was willing to
impute motives of corruption to his
respective political foes and while
there was an occasional colloquy
that seemed for the moment sharp,
the best of feeling and good nature
characterized the investigation. One
almost got the impression that the
Republicans and Democrats who or
ganized the campaigns would breathe
a sigh of relief if laws were enacted
to prevent independent organizations
from doing things which the national
committees today are powerless to
prevent being done either in the
name of Republicanism or Democ
racy. Indeed. Senator Spencer, Re
publican, asked Homer Cummings to
make some suggestions of possible
legislation that would purify elec
tions and he indicated that it
wouldn’t take him and Will Hays
long to draft such proposals based
on their respective experiences.
Cumming's Gives Views
Mr. Cummings was very useful
~ to the Republican senators who drew
tx from •him frank answers concerning
.» the limitations of campaign funds
in federal and state organizations. In
~ the first place, Mr. Cummings sav
nothing wrong with Will Hays’
.• budget of $3,000,000, but said he be
lieved anything much beyond that
.. would be “manifestly excessive.” He
w wouldn’t agree to Senator Edge’s
, suggestion, seconded by Will Hays.
. that everything had practically dou
i bled in cost since the 1916 campaign
and that if both Democrats and Re
publicans spent two and a half mil
lion dollars in that year it would
..-‘not be excessive if they needed much
more than that this time. Mr. Cum
mings said that he believed an addl
'-Z' tion of $500,000 this year to the
Democratic fund of $2,300,000 in 1916
would be an adequate estimate For
““ 1920 for either party.
Pressed for his line of reasoning,
the Democratic leader brought out
significantly that, much money is
wasted in advertising and in other
directions in the last weeks of a
sp campaign which if contracted for
earlier or by competent persons
would mean economy of a quarter of
a million of dollars. He implied that
g- efficiency and the benefits of expres
” sions would more than make up in
[ economies what the rise in costs of
? eupplies today would entail.
; Senator Reed jumped back into the
Democratic party again and cross
examined witnesses from the view
point of Governor Cox. For instance
he compelled Will Hays to admit
that while the Republican national
; committee had nothing to do directly
t or indirectly with the publication by
William Barnes, of New York, of a
• Republican campaign book, neverthe
less that volume for which some of
the largest corporations in the United
States had subscribed liberal sums
or njoney was a “concurrent” effort
that helped the Republican campaign
just as any other political propa
ganda. But Republican senators were I
quick to suggest that this might
happen on the Democratic side with
out the power of the Democratic
leaders to stop such an enterprise.
Hays Explains
The examination of all witnesses
revealed how little value attaches to
the certificates filed by the national
committees of both parties showing
campaign expenditures. While m
many instances the national organi
zation acts as a collection agency for
state committees and actually turns
back large sums of money for state
uses, both Mr. Hays and Mr. Cum
mings developed the fact that nobody
knows how much the state commit
tees collect for use inside the states
without making a statement of any
sort to the national organizations.
Mr. Hays denied absolutely that the
quotas which Governor Cox has said
were set for fifty-one cities totaling
more than $8,000,000 were the Repub
lican figures. He refused to give the
exact quotas, leaving that to Fred
W. Upham to supply. In reply to
questions about several states or
cities Mr. Hays professed not to re
member a single quota. All he would
say was that Governor Cox’s alleged
quotas were false. Mr. Hays would
only admit this much:
“At different periods different quo
tas have been suggested by the treas
urer’s office as tentative goals in dif
ferent states, and the state commit
tees themselves have fixed different
quotas. These are changing constant
ly and always, of course, were made
very much higher than the amount
either necessary or anticipated. The
fact is, quotas mean very little.”
Some of the Democratic leaders
afterwards said Will Hays’ argument
on quotas would prove troublesome
to the Republicans after this investi
gation was concluded for it was not
in accord, they declared, with the
line of reasoning adopted by Senator
Harding and Chairman Good, of the
house committee on appropriations,
who base much of their praise for the
last Republican congress on the state
ment that congress cut down by at
least two billion dollars the quotas
Or estimates made by the ten govern
ment departments of the sums they
wanted to get from congress. The
departments always do what Mr.
Hays said his committee did—they
ask for more than they expect tp get.
He says the mere asking for large
quotas isn’t of importance. It’s the
amount actually raised or authorized
.'-to be spent. Mr. Hays declares his
"budget does not authorize an expendi
-ture of more than $3,076-,000. That’s
-the sum his bureaus are permitted to
’ appropriate though only about a mil
lion dollars in cash actually has
.’been turned in. In other words, the
-Democrats now twit their opponents
by saying that even if Governor Cox
doesn’t prove that eight or fifteen
million dollars in quotas have been or
shall have been spent, he ought to
get credit for saving the rank and
file of the Republican party the dif
ference between a budget of $3,000,-
. 000 and what might otherwise have
fH>een insisted upon in the way of
* quotas in excess of that sum.
t In a nutshell, if Governor Cox
£> wanted to throw a monkey wrench
’"into rhe Republican financial cam
jpaign simply because the Democratic
ieffort to raise money has been a fail
-sure thus far, he may succeed, but so
Xfar as proving either corruption,
--actual or intended, or the expenditure
Jof excessive sums, his own support-
CSers doubt 'whether he can do so con
twincingly because of the inaccessibil
'-itv of state fund records.
lA. S. PERRY MAKES
i TELLING SPEECH
FOR HOKE SMITH
CAMILLA, Ga., Aug. 31.—Speak
ins’ to an audience of approximately
.350 citizens of Mitchell county Mon
day in the courthouse at Camilla,
Alex Perry, of Cuthbert, advocated
-the re-election of Senator Hoke
/Smith in a brilliant address. Mr.
Perry was introduced by J. E. Brooks,
one of the most prominent business
men of this section, and an ardent
Hoke Smith supporter.
Mr. Dorsey’s attack upon the Al
bany Herald and Joseph E. Davis in
his recent speech at Dawson was se
verely criticized by Mr. Perry, and
the applause with which his criti
cisms were received showed con
clusively that the people of this sec
tion heartily disapproved of Mr. Dor
sey’s action.

Deadly Japanese Beetles
Storm Poison Barrage
AndßavageN. J. Farms
Despite Heroic Measures
Last Fall, the Pest Has Ap
peared in Devastating
Swarms
RIVERTON, N. J.—The Japanese
beetle, regarded as the country’s
worst crop pest, has penetrated the
elaborate barrage of bug prisons,
burned headlands and imported ene
mies which the department of agri
culture experts had established
around its quarantined area in Bur
lington and Camden counties.
Scouts employed by the department
have found the beetles during the
last few days in other distant sec
tions of Burlington county, while re- '
ports that the pest has crossed the j
Delaware river and invaded Pennsyl
vania were verified today.
While the government is impos
ing a strict quarantine and exami
nation of all products shipped out of
the restricted areas heretofore known
as the beetle district, the spread of
the insect now gives the government
a far more serious problem. No
quarantine can be extended at once
to these new districts because of
the red tape involved, and it may be
weeks before needed precautions
can be put into effect.
Hundreds of miles of hedge rows
along country roads were burned
over last fall by federal and state
authorities to prevent the beetles
from harboring there and depositing
their eggs in uncultivated ground.
Thousands of acres were treated
with poison compounds and millions
of the bugs were gleaned by hand at
so .much per quart.
Yet the beetle in the original area
appeared this year in more destruc
tive numbers than ever before, and
the newly discovered colonies in oth
er districts give it a foothold for an
increase next year in wide areas of
both states.
Big Cotton Increase
After Cover Crop
CLEMSON COLLEGE, Aug. 31. —In
connection with the increased inter
est now being aroused in cover crops
by the drives being made by various
county agents, the facts and figures
below are of importance.
Cotton, following cowpeas, gave 511
pounds to the acre; cotton, following
cotton, yielded only 279 pounds. The
results indicate the need of a bal
anced system of rotation. In the
above instance, according to the
Office of Farm Management, United
States Department of Agriculture,
both plots were of similar soil and
each had received 336 pounds of fer
tilizer to the acre. Oats, planted to
follow crab grass, gave 7.1 bushels
to the acre, but, coming after velvet
beans, the yield was 28.6 bushels —
four times as much.
Land left to “rest” does not im
prove as rapidly as when worked
with a good cover crop. When corn
was planted every three years and the
land left to weeds in the intervals,
the yield was only 18 bushels to each
acre, but after five years of corn and
crimson clover the yield increased
to 50 bushels an acre.
Fifth of Population
Lives in Big Cities
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31.—More
than one-fifth of the population of
the country is located In thirty-three
leading cities having 200.000 or more
■ innaoitants. A table showing these
cities in order of their rank for 1920,
issue today by the census bureau,
placed their combined population at
22,724,565, which is slightly more
than one-fifth the total population
of the country, as estimated by Dr.
Joseph A. Hill, chief statistician of
the bureau, at 105,000,000.

Bear Is Sent
By U. S. Mail
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn. The
first attempt to send part of a
zoo to Minneapolis .by mail was
successful when Sheriff Earle
Brown became host to a little
brown bear. The bear came in.
with the morning mail, the gift
of friends in Wisconsin, and al
most disrupted the affairs of the
sheriff’s office, while deputies
brought out the courthouse stock
of peanuts, popcorn and candy
and fed the surprise package.
Even sheriffs and deputies in
their own stronghold have a
wholesale respect for live wild
bears, and although forty pounds
of cub sat up and begged politely
to be taken out to see the sights,
the sheriff said he preferred to
look at him through the wire mesh
that covered one side of the box.
“Guess I’ll take him out to
the farm, and when he gets used
to me I’ll let him out,” said the
sheriff, judiciously.

nor Cox is using for the cam

Despite the fact that the Demo
cratic nominee is swinging around
the country at a break-neck gate,
making four and five speeches a
day, he has not resigned as chief
executive of the Buckeye state and
intends to keep on holding the
office until his term expires in
January next. He insists on tak
ing care of all state business,
which is. forwarded to him daily,

Makes Good Living
Hunting Sea Lions
ASTORIA, Ore. —William M. Hun
ter, known here as “king” of sea
lion hunters, paid at the rate of $2.50
each. Bounty is paid on the sea
lion sbecause they are considered the
Pacific coast salmon’s worst enemy.
They gather off the mouth of the
Columbia river here to prey on fish
bound upstream.
Sea-lion hunting is dangerous.
Hunter says, and he tells of narrow
escapes from angry bulls. Seals, he
asserts, are not as awkward as they
appear, but can travel fast. Re
cently one chased him over the rocks
but was killed by Hunter’s compan
ion before it reached him.
Hunter works from a small launch
while at sea. Much of his hunting
is done on rocky beaches, where
seals congregate. He learned his
trade —as he terms it—as a moun
taineer hunting bear and deer in the
Cascade mountains.
In addition to the government
bounty, Hunter is paid by salmon
cannerymen for destroying seals
Estimated on the 1919 pack the rate
of the cannery bounty would be
about $2,900 for every 1,000 sea
lions killed.
COLLEGE GIRLS
SMOKE AND CHEW
IN EXPERIMENT
Twenty-four girl students of the
University of Wisconsin will be paid
40 cents an hour next winter to blow
blue clouds of smoke into the labo
ratory of; Prof. M. F. O’Shea.
The same privilege is now being
handed right out of the humidor to
twenty-four male students and the
makin’s are free.
For eighteen months these stu
dents have been the subject of an
investigation by Prof. O'Shea, who
is seeking to determine what effect,
if any, tobacco has on the mental
faculties of the users. The test will
last another six months.
One of the purposes of the inves
tigation is to see if tobacco has the
same effect on girls that it produces
on men. Just what the test has
shown to date, Prof. O’Shea will not
tell. He will make a complete re
port when it is finished.
Simultaneously, similar investiga
tions are being made at Johns Hop
kins, University of Michigan, Leland
Stanford, Harvard and Cornell. In
these schools, however, the exami
nations are to determine the effect
of tobacco on the physical body and
the morals. Prof. O’Shea is special
izing on the mental effect only.
Since chewing is also included in
the test Prof. O’Shea is prepared to
raise the pay a little as an added
inducement when he collects his
class of co-eds.
“This work is being carried on for
scientific purposes only,” Prof.
O’Shea explained in Madison. “It is
not in the interest of any propaganda
whatever. Personally, we do not
care whether tobacco is harmful or
not. All we want is the scientific
truth which we will publish to the
world.”
The students upon whom the in
vestigations are being made have no
idea what the test will show. The
professor has been careful to keep
them in the dark on that subject.
“The idea is this,” he explained,
“is to eliminate all suggestions from
their minds. If I should let them
know either frankly or by intima
tion what I am learning the very
knowledge "would have some sugges
tive influence on their minds which
would hamper my work. I am
studying the effect of tobacco in all
forms. Some of my subjects smoke
pipes, some cigars, others cigarettes,
while still another group chew the
weed.
“These young men use tobacco
only when I tell them to do so and
abstain when I give the order. I
spend three and a half hours a day
with them in the laboratory.
“I pay my subjects 40 cents an
hour and the university supplies the
tobacco. I have them smoke under
all conditions. Sometimes before
they study for their other classes,
sometimes afterward. Also some
times before meals and at other
times immediately afterward. Our
laboratory is a very pleasant place,
more like a parlor, with big easy
chairs, than like a workshop.”
One of the requirements that the
professor makes of his students is
that they will not discuss the work
with outsiders. This also is to keep
out suggestions.
An effort to draw out one of the
boys brought this retort: “You tell
’em, you’re a newspaper guy,” which
shows how much his mentality has
been affected.
In addition to reporting his own
findings, Prof. O’Shea will include
in his report the testimony of 1,000
business men who employ smokers.

L'PSI lAW DENTES
HE NEGLECTED HIS
DUTY AT CAPITAL
Denying the charges made by his
opponents that he neglected his duty
as a congressman by absenting him
self when important measures were
under consideration, Congressman
W. D. Upshaw, candidate for re-elec
tion, spoke to a large crowd at the
East Point school house on Monday
night. Mr. Upshaw challenged his
opponents to specify a single meas
ure that had suffered because of his
absence from the national capital.
.The charge had been made that
while Congressman Upshaw was in
Atlanta, the house of representa
tives passed a resolution calling for
the abandonment of Camp Gordon.
The congressman discussed this sub
ject in considerable detail and in
sisted that he was in Atlanta for
the purpose of accompanying Gen
eral Pershing on his inspection of
Camp Gordon, his purpose being to
impress upon General Pershing the
advisability of recommending the
permament maintenance of Camp
Gordon as a military establishment*

Dwelling Dynamited
At Hollonville, Ga.
CONCORD, Ga., Aug. 31. —Last
night at one o’clock the store of
Yarbrough and Johnson, the gin
house of U. A. Yarbrough and Sons,
and a dwelling house being erected
by Eudry Brandenburg were dyna
mited at Hollonville about five miles
west of here. The store and house
were completely destroyed, but only
the boiler foundations of the gin
were demolished. No clue or evidence
has been found, and blood hounds
could not pick up any trail.
Michigan Officials

Three women aspired to seats in
congress and six of the state’s pres
ent representatives were opposed for
re-nominati on.
A. E. F. Headquarters
Are Mustered Out
WASHINGTON, Aug. 31. —The
American expeditionary forces of the
world war passed finally into history
here today.
At the direction of Secretary of
War Baker the A. E. F. headquarters,
the last unit of the organization, was
mustered out without ceremony. Gen
eral Pershing has maintained the
headquarters here since his return
from France.
Tomorrow Pershing will open head
quarters as general of the army, as
provided by the army reorganiza
tion act. Pershing has nottified Sec
retary Baker he will resign from
the army, but he has announced no
date for his resignation.

Lovely Aerial Champion
Who Broke Loop Record
Longs for Competition
NEW YORK. —Would any lady
airplane pilot like a nice little race
to Philadelphia and Atlantic City on
the way?
Or a straight dash of 100 miles?
Or does any feminine flyer fancy
herself in an altitude contest, up
about 20,000 feet, for instance, with
a few dives and spins on the way
down?
If so, Miss Laura Bromwell, who
set a new record for her sex by flip
ping eighty-seven loops at Mineola,
is all ready.
“Now that I’ve got this record, I
want a lot more,” volunteered the
Lovely Looper when a reporter saw
her yesterday at the Curtiss offices, >
“Next Sunday, if the weather is
pleasant, I m going after altitude, i
and hope to get 25,000 feet. Tne
present record for women is 17,200,
held by a French girl.
She Yearns for Competition
“But what I want most of all is
some competition. Let the other girl
flyers get busy. I hope one of them
breaks my looping record soon, so I
can go out again and flip 150 or so.
But more than that. I’d like one of
them to give me a good fast race.”
In a lacy gown, a flopping hat
which trailed a black veil, and dis
tinctly dainty shoes and hose, Miss
Bromwell looked far from an aerial
daredevil as she sat in an easy chair
and voiced her desires. Her big blue
eyes and very blond hair puffed over
her ears removed her still further in
appearance from that classification.
But all the experts say ‘ the world
hasn’t yet seen her equal as an aerial
stunt artiste.
“You know. I really did away over
a hundred loops Sunday,” she said,
“but the officials could only count,
eighty-seven, because I was above a
cloud belt when I started. I counted
123 myself before I gave up the
tally.”
The interviewer, who, on occasion,
had found one loop to the afternoon
quite sufficient for all practical pur
poses, asked how this flipflop descent
felt.
“It didn’t bother me at all, Miss
Bromwell declared. “I had never
done many continuous loops before —
in fact, previous to last week I never
did over two or three—and I won
dered if keeping at it would have
any distressing effect. It didn’t. It
was merely a*case of going through
the motions and watching to see I
didn’t come down too low.”
The recording barograph on the
Curtiss ship the girl flyer used
registered 8.200 feet when she began
her stunt. Her last turnover was at
the low altitude of 900 feet.
Won First Bide by Selling Bonds
“How did you get into the flying
game?” she was asked.
“Down in Virginia, where I was
visiting at the time of the last Lib
erty loan, a prize of a ride in a ship
was offered to any one "who would
sell $20,000 worth,” the aviatrix re
plied. “I was so eager to go up that
I sold nearly that many and then
bought the rest myself. Lieutenant
H. F. Hunzinger took me flying, and
I liked it so well I determined to be
come a pilot myself.
“I learned at Mineola between last
July and October. R. H. Depew
taught me straight flying and Bert
Acosta stunting.”
“How did you come to make your
first loop?” _ , ,
“I did it the first time I ever had
a ship up alone. I had heard the men
tell how to do it —so I did it. It w as
that wav, too, with all the other
acrobatics. They’d tell me of a spin
or a diva and I’d go up and do it
“Had you taken part in athletics
previously?" ,
“Yes, I had done a lot of swim
ming. In fact, I think I still hold
the record for a high dive by a wom
an. I went off the suspension bridge
at Cincinnati, my home town, which
is 115 feet above the river. I still
swim and walk a lot to keep in form.
Big Strike Plot
In South Charged
By Walter R. Brown
Aserting that an effort is being
made by the labor unions to organize
the negro farm laborers in the south
for the purpose of calling a gigantic
strike and “bringing the white
south to its knees, Walter K-
Brown, candidate for governor, on
Tuesday issued a statement in which
he afirmed his intention to fight
such a program to the limit.
Mr. Brown declares that negro
labor unions are now in existence in
Georgia and that efforts are being
made to organize the negroes in the
rural sections. He quotes from a
negro publication to substantiate his
statements.
“If I am elected governor, or
ganized labor will have to obey the
law and no orders from union head
quarters will be allowed to stand
above the constitution and the
statutes,” says Mr. Brown.
He Offers Two to One
That Mitchell County
Goes Against Dorsey
Denying in strongest terms the
claim that Dorsey will carry Mitchell
county, and offering to wager SIOO
against SSO that Mitchell county will
not go for Dorsey in the coming pri
mary, D. A. Spence, one of the best
known citizens of Pelham, on Mon
day afternoon sent the following tele
gfam to The Journal:
“Pelham, Ga., Aug. 30.
“Referring to a statement in the
Atlanta Constitution of the 30th,
signed by O. J. Culpepper, editor of
the Camilla Enterprise, to the effect
that Mitchell county is safely in the
Dorsey column, wish to say that I
will wager one hundred to fifty that
Mitchell county does not go for H.>gb
Dorsey.
“4ccordling to the best information

result of numerous expressions ot
indignation over an attempt last
night of military police from the

Miitary authorities at Gaveston
were quoted as saying the attempted
arrest was unauthorized.
