tions that the Equitable really wanted
Manning TO keep his mouth shut. The
witness would not admit this.
In his testimony Senator Plat stat
ed that the Muttal and Equitable CON
tribution was received through Presi.
dents McCurdy and Alexander. THIS
statement was In direct contradiction
Of the statement made under oath by
Mr.. McCurdy that no contributions
for state campaigns had been made
by the Mutual so far as he knew.
Senator Platt was emphatic that the
contributions of the Mutual and Equit-
able of $4,000 each had been made
for state campaign purposes.
After declaring that he had receiv-
ed contributions of $4,000 each from
the Equitable and Mutual for state
campaign use and turned It over to
the state committee Senator Platt
said that he did not remember II
President Mccall for the New York
Life had ever contributed for state
campaign purposes.
"If he subscribed anything at all n
would -be for state purposes" said
Senator Platt.
Senator Platt said that he did not
know what distribution was made OF
the Insurance campaign money after
1t was turned over to the state com
mittee.
WAS the money given to see that
the legislature did not enact legisla
tion which the companies thought hos
tile to the policyholders?" asked Mr..
Hughes.
That's about the size OF It," re.
piled the senator.
How could you have any influence
with the legislature?" asked the In.
quisitor.
II might have some influence. J
could not control it,
Senator. is 1t not fact that the
use OF these contributions in the elec-
tion OF candidates to Office puts the
candidates more or less under a moral
obligation not to attack the interest
supporting them"
THAT is what naturally would be
evolved" replied Mr.. Platt.
Senator Piatt denied knowledge of
an alleged contribution of $50 900 by
the New York Life to the last national
campaign or of a similar contribution
by the Equitable.
