NEW TORK. July 9. William G
McAdoo. speaking at the dinner
of the national league of Ma
sonic clubs here last night, declared
"there Is no menace so great to our
nation as the corrupt use of money
for campaign purposes."
I was secretary of the treasury
for six years and know the harm that
is done by the misuse of money in
this way." he said. "T am not taJkinc
about Republicans alone, but Demo
crats as well, for they all look alike
to me when they are guilty of spend
ing money m tse manner indicated."
Mr McAdoo declared camnaign
contributors would seek tbefr reward
In various ways, one of which was
I the reduction of duty on imports. He
pointed out that a iraction or a cent
reduction would run into big figures.
Praises Senate Probe.
Mr McAdoo said tfeat "as an Amer-
fiamisfir
election to which W wtffW TTIPStoV-
rexer. The appointment of the sen
ate committee to Investigate cam
paign expenditures, he declared, was
one of the few "intelligent things the
senate ever did."
There is one thing America can
never stand for. he continued, and
that is the purchase of the presidency
of the United States."
"In my opinion the election law
should be changed, b$ said. The
expenses for running the national
elections should be paid out of the
national treasury and If this were
done the cost would be infinitely
less. It would be reduced one fifth.
The money should be taken from the
federal treasury and the law should
prescribe specifically how the money
should be spent.
"It then would be out of the ques
tion to pass laws for crooked poli
ticians who have to be repaid in some
way for the moneys they have ad
vanced for some candidate's campaign-"
Presidential Primary Urged.
He urged a nation wide presiden
tial primary at which nominees
would be selected without the aid of
political bosses.
The presidential preliminary in va
rious states daring the recent cam
paign, he declared, were a disgrace
to the nation. He proposed that nom
inations be made In the national con
ventions by plurality vote instead of
the two thirds vote of the Demo
crats and the majority vote of the
Republicans. To make this success
ful, he asserted, national politics
must first be purified.
The nominee must be the nomi
nee of the people, not of the bosses,"
Mr. McAdoo saUL "The nominee of
the future must not be the selection
of a bossed convention. The dele
gates mast really represent the peo
ple, so that the candidate can go for
ward and make a fight for the peo
ple." League Only Hope for Peace.
Mr McAdoo said the only method
of preserving peace is the adoption of
a league of nations and sooner or
later America will see it in its prop
er light.

promote domestic tranquillity.
