See A Moral Improvement. Senators Reed and Poindexter
agreed that there had been some moral improvement in politics in the last eight years, the former assigning as the reason "that the courts have been in action in some cases." "Would you regard the existence of a campaign fund of $15,000,000 as a menace?" asked Senator Reed. "I would," said the western senator and added that "a fund of $15,009,000 would be abuse."

Senator Poindexter remarked that the Missouri senator's use of the word "average" covered a wide range but he would not agree that some states would receive as much at $40,000. Not Possible to Buy It. "There has been a good deal of sneering at the idea of its being possible to buy the American electorate," said Senator Reed. "Do you believe that money can be corruptly used In such a fashion as to change the result of the election?" - - - "That opens a wide field of speculation," 6aid Senator Poindexter, "but so far as national campaigns are concerned, the vigilance exercised by both parties would make it very likely that defeat would come to any party trying corruption."

Will Proble Liquor Charges The committee there will devote particular attention to charges that liquor interests have contributed to various campaign funds. Senator Kenyon said.
