wOxId Taaue Statement.

New York, Feb 17-In statement Issued tonight The World says In part:
 This persecution. if 1t succeeds. will place every newspaper in the country which circulates In Washington--and there are few of importance which do not circulate there-completely at the mercy of an autocratic. vainglorious President. who is willing to prostitute his authority for the qualification sof his personal malice.
 Few newspapers make large profits. Most of them could be ruined fnancl- ally by the legal expense of defending themselves hundreds of miles from the place of publication and against the tremendous resources of the United states government.
 Under this procedure there is hardly an American newspaper proprietor who would not be liable to criminal indictment in Washington if his news paper printed something offensive to the President, even though the pro- prietor might have been thonsands of miles from his ofilce at the time of such publication and knew nothing what ever about it.

 Samuel A. Cook. of Neenah, while his offcial statement showed that he spent only S2s.500, admitted that a supplemental statement would show that belated bills would swell his ex- penditures to above e40,000.
 Mr, Cook engaged w. c. Bowling. of oshkosh, as hIs manager, paying him S210 a month. Checks for nearly all expenses were made out to MT. CowlinE. Mir. Cook was asked by the committee if he thought a candidate for Senator could spend S100.O00 Iegit- imately In a Senatorial campaign and replied that twice that amount could easily be spent.
 Neal Brown. of Wausau, Democratic nominee. testified to having parted with s1.07S.sT In what. he termed a poverty campaign. He managed his own campaign.
 W, H. Hatton, a New London lum- herman. said his total expenses were S36,S13.3s and later added $s,Ses.sO for bills which came In later.
 Mir. Hatton had as many as i've mon looking after his interests and most of the money was spent in sending out literature to voters.
 Both Cook and Hatton expressed the opinion that the candidate receiving the largest vote in a properly conduct ed campaign was entitled to election.
