tho echo.
When former governor and present City
Collector Brown was asked to-day about
the $4,000 and what he did with It. he
said:
I thought all that stun was ancient
history. never got any money from
Senator Smith
smith was willing 10 contribute 10 the
general campaign expenses" he continued.
''Warfeld was not. In fact .Warheld only
gave 500 10 the general expense account.
7 had conducted one campaign that
year-the one that elected ]. Barry Ma
hool mayor. It was expensive. The pri-
mary cost lot Of money. There were
four candidates When the fall came I
did not feel like running another cam
paign. 1 told the fellows who wanted
TO be Senator that they should pay the
freight and bear the campaign expenses.
Smith agreed. Warheld did not.
II went ahead with the fight. I never
got a cent from Smith, however. I did
not need II. The money was raised in

gave IN the counties.
There was considerable discussion OF
the whole affair in the papers at the
time. The State central committee as
sessed the candidates for Senator for
the expenses Of conducting the prima-
ries. Warfield paid his share Of that, but
limited his campaign contribution.
Il don't know a thing about this $4,000.
Smith did not give me any money. There
is nothing that I know OF that could
give grounds for such a story. Il makes
me tired"
