Chicago, Oct. 16.—(By the As
sociated'Press.)—Precise informa
tion as to the funds collected and
distributed by the three major
political parties, republican, dem
ocratic and independent, was
sought today by a special senate
committee on campaign expendi
tures.
Under preliminary agreement
by a majority of the committee,
the reports will be analyzed care
fully before the investigators
turn their attention to the
charges by Senator Robert M.
LaFollette that the republican or
ganization is collecting large
slush funds for use in doubtful

Dixon explained the $5,000 pay
ment by Brennan by saying that
at the time there was a shortage
of funds in the western division.
The $32,500 total given, the wit
ness added, does not include the
rental of the western headquar
ters here. That is paid direct by
the national committee, he added.
The funds expended by western
headquarters go for payroll and
expenses of speakers.
Chairman Borah wanted to
know if Mr. Dixon knew of any
funds being underwritten for the
democratic party, <* I regret to
say that I do not,” Dixon replied.
The witness was excused.
The LaFollette-Wheeler nation

tal of $190,535 in its presiden
