so extravagant that it would buy copies magazine when it might reproduce in pamphlet form the portions of an individual article pertinent to its purpose and circulate them as it pleased." He added that in last fall's election "a studied effort was made to emphasize John Raskob as an issue because of his membership in the Catholic church."
