Senator Wesley Jones, of Washington, on September 6 offered an amendment to the Corrupt Practices Act, forbidding the acceptance of campaign contributions from any person engaged in the manufacture and sale of liquor. Such acceptance would be made a felony, and be punished with a heavy fine, or imprisonment, or both. Senator Jones stated, as his opinion, that most of thy corruption in politics can be charged to the liquor interests, and he would have those interests barred entirely from the financial end of the political campaigns.
