nittce in replySto Mr.. Hughes ques-
ton whether he thought that in 1901 the
interests OF the policy holders weaa
so seriously endangered that the COM
pany ought to contribute
ut Is evident that Mr.. Mccall was
;laboring under great 'eMcitcnplM IN
making his reply, for 1t is very inco-
hcrent. But If his answer Is intendec
to convey the Impression that IN the
campaign of 1904, 1, either directly, or
Indirectly solicited from him or his
corporation or any, h.her corporation
any money or valuable thing, his state
ment is absolutely false.

Il said before the election. that express
{ ~ notified and directed the chairman OF
the executive committee of the national
committee that no money should be
received from corporations"
William #. Shcchans attention was
called to the testimony Of Mr. Mccall,
and he said: y was chairman Of the
executive committee of tho Democratic
national committee. There was not
single man connected with the Demo-
cratic national campaign that solicited
a dollar from Mr.. Mccall. II any such
person made any such solicitation Mr..
Mccall should name him"
