Pre - Convention Expenditures
$208,000. or $15,000 More
Than Contributions.
Continued From Page One.
itini |« there no further expenditure
that you tec-all'.’
A. That is all the money spent by
the national organization, and so fat as
I know that is all the money spent.
Q. Would that apply to all the states?
A. The report is complete, so far as 1
know.
Q. Who was in charge of the Illi
nois campaign?
A. Lawrence B. Stringer, who is run
ning for congressman at large.
Q. I -ee in this report that you say
$3,000 was all of the money spent in
Illinois. Do iou mean to say that that
was the total expenditures in that
state?
A. I think It was.
Vict’ombs then stated that the total
expenditures of the Wilson men in the
pre-convet tion campaign amounted to
$208,183.05, thus a deficit of nearly
$15,000 as a result of lhe pre
convention fight.
Identity of Princeton Friends.
Senator Oliver Was particular to dis
close the identity of the "Princeton
friends" who contributed to the $85,000
fund accredited to Cleveland & Dodge,
and M . McCombs Said that he had
been told by Mt. Dodge that Cleveland
<t Dodge had contributed $51,300. Thos.
D. Jones $10,500, David P. Jones $10,500,
Cyrus H. McCormick $12,000 and Ed
ward W. Sheldon SI,OOO.
He said that $3,000 was sent into
Illinois and that he was certain that
the pie-convention expenditures in
Governor Wilson’s interest in that state
did n,ot exceed that amount.
Senator Poitierene took up the ques
tioning.
Q. Who is Henry Morgan Thau?
A. He is in Hie tea! estate, business
in New York city. He was introduced'
to me as an enthusiastic Wilson man,
whose only interest was in seeing Gov
ernor Wilson elected president. He
gave me •'our checks, totalling SIO,OOO.
McCombs told the committee that he
had no money to finance the Dakota
primaries and that he gave ape sonal
pledge to guarantee an expenditure of
SIO,OOO by the local committee in that
state.
McCombs said that "In states like
Connecticut, in which there, were no
primaries and in which we did not feel
that Wilson had a good chance, we
spent very little money.
No Promises Made.
"There is not a dollar upon that
statement which reflects any promise
expressed o- implied upon my- part.
There had been no representation made
except that this country needs a man
like Wilson.
"We were convinced that Wilson
could not carry Illinois and we consid
ered that money sent there would be
wasted following the expenditure by the
Clark people of la-ge sums of money.
In Pennsylvania both factions had in
dorsed Wilson a year before. There
fore. there was no need of spending
money in that state."
When A. B. Parker w as sworn h? was
asked what he knew of contributions
made during his campaign for the pres
idency in 1904. Judge Parker replied:
"So far as the Demociatic party is

Weapon Drawn in
| i Political Argument
—■—- «
J. S Andrews, floor manager of the
Beavers' club, related to Recorder Broyles
today the story of a lively scene in the
club Saturday night, growing out of a
fight between two members over the
mayoralty situation and in which he came
near being cut to pieces when he sought
to restore peace and order.
E. C. Brown, one of the political bellig
erents and the man who assailed the
i manager w ith a knife, declared he remem
bered nothing whatever of the incident
—not even the discussion and dispute over
the mayor’s race. As he couldn't remem
ber the affair, he made no statement as
to whose candidacy he was advocating at
the time the row broke forth.
Manager Andrews said that when the
two members began fighting, he attempt
ed to act as peacemaker, and that Brown
attacked him with a knife. Andrews re
ceived a few scratches.
He made a plea for Brown, after which
Judge Broyles finer! Brown $15,75 or thirty
1 days.
