liam F. McCombs, campaign manager]

order an informal reception was held. !
with Senators Potneren, of Ohio, and ■
Paynter, of Kentucky, Democratic !
members of the committee, acting as I
hosts to the Democratic witness.
Began Wilson
Boom Last Year.
Mr. McCombs told the investigators j
that as early as May, 1911. he began:
booming the New Jersey governor for i
the nomination antT that for a consid- ,
erable time he paid expenses from his |
own resources.
McCombs inquired of the committee
whether contributions made prior to
1912. but aiding in the Wilson pre-con
vention fight, were to-be considered.
’•Undoubtedly any thing relating to the
candidacy of Mr. Wilson is important."
replied Senator Clapp.
The witness then stated that during
th" early part of the Wilson campaign
he had expended much money himself,
citing one instance wherein he had
contributed SIO,OOO. He then began
reading a list of Contributors to the
Wilson campaign fund, but stopped
abruptly to explain how Frederick C.
Penfield, of Philadelphia, had come to
contribute $12,000.

fornia. a progressive Republican, comes
out openly for Moodrow Wilson, and
advises all progressives to vote for the
Democratic candidate for president.
In his statement, Senator Works bit
terly condemns the Progressive party
of California, and affirms that the third
party obtained possession of that state
through fraud and deception.
Tn announcing his intention to vote
for Governor Wilson. Senator Works
says that he does in effect throw’ all
personal ambition to the winds, that
the Progressives of California, his for
mer friends, have already denounced
hjm as a traitor, and are urging him to
resign his seat in tie senate.
"Wilson is a real mid sincere pro
gressive," said Senator Works He has
proved it by his course and conduct as
a pulllie officer mid as a candidate. He
is running on a sane, progressive plat
form. Nothing of benefit to ptogressive
principles or honest polities ran be)
gained by voting im cither Taft or

GEORGIA TURNS
TD CORN RAISING
Widely Diversified Crops Re

Bumper Yields Harvested.
Constant crusading conducted in
Georgia and throughout the South for
crop diversification is bearing fruit, ac
cording to State Commissioner of Agri
culture Conner, who has studied the
crop estimate of the United States de
partment of agriculture.
While King Cotton still holds his
own, the grain production increase
shows that Georgia farmers are not de
pending alone on the South’s staple.
Three and seven-tenths per cent of the
entire corn production of the country is
raised in Georgia, according to the re
port, while the increase in wheat rais
ing has been proportionately large.
Fruit culture, too, is extending be
yond activity in .raising the famous
Georgia peach. Apple orchard- are

Criticisms in Newspa

Serious Dissension in
the Ranks of the Na

Odds Are Now 3 to 1
Against McGraw’s
Team—-Small Crowd
on Hand Today.
NKAV YORK. Oct. 14.—Crowds wjhirh
hail hitherto besieged the Polo grotunds
to get good seats for the games there
between the Giants and Red Sox in the
world’s championship baseball games
were! aeking today.
Less than twenty persons were in line
outside ’he park at daybreak.
\This was partly due to the raw
weather which prevailed, but more gen
erally’ to the belief that the Giants were
out of the running and would not fig
ure in this afternoon's contest.
Although the weather was hazy, there
was no sign of rain. It was-cool. The
field was in good condition, and there
was no doubt as to the games being
play ed.
Boston fans offered 3 to 1 on the
outcome of the series, arid 10 to 8 bn
this afternoon's game.
As the Sox needed only one more
game, while the Giants needed three
consecutive victories, the local rooters
were cautious about taking betting
risks.
The pitching probabilities for the
sixth game of the series were Ray’ Col
lins or .O'Brien, for Boston, and Mar
quard or Crandall, for New York.
Although Marquard’s arm was a lit
tle lame, he pleaded that Manager John
J. McGraw of the Giants send him in
against the Red Sox, to see if he
couldn't stein the tide of disaster which
bad overwhelmed the New Yorks.
Manager Jake Stahl of the Sox held '
’’Smoky’ Joe” Wood in reserve, Al- ■
though the Sox had won three of the
four games necessary to insure th"
championship of the world, Stahl was
cautious and refused to mak“ any pre
dictions.
"Os course, we expect to win the
world’s championship." he said.
Manager McGraw, for fear of causing
further discouragement to an already
downcast team, talked optimistically
when asked what he thought of the
ichances.
‘‘While we have to win three straight
games, I believe the boys are equal to
the occasion.” said he. "It is a big
fight, but we are fighting to the last
ditch. The qluh has been playing fat
below its form.” j
Players Sore
Over Criticism.
Trouble has broken out among the
Giants because of criticism of the play
ers. Center Fielder Snodgrass is angry
because of criticism poured upon hi:
head by McGraw Saturday for mishan.
■ dling Yerkes’ long fly, which allowed
the runner to take three bases, whereas
the Giant manager thought that the hit
should have been only’ a single.
Dissension has been caused by criti
cism of the players who are writing
expert criticism of the games for New
York newspapers.
Mathewson, who pitched Saturday's
game, attributed his defeat to Snod
grass’ play.
Some of the players are not on
speaking terms with each other as a
result of newspaper reports.
There was a possibility that tomor
row’s gam.-, if it was necessary, would
be played In New York. Members of
the national commission announced
that if the Giants won today they
would flip a coin to choose the scene
( of Tuesday’s struggle.
Both teams felt better physically t -
i day.
Crowd Is Slim,
Police Not Needed.
So slim was the crowd at the Polo
grounds early today, waiting for the
, th !c booths t" «>pi-n. that half a dozen •
police easily handled the situation
