In Making His Generous Contributions
to Political Campaign Funds He
Never Took Chances, Even
With His Friends.

The late William G. Whitney, secra-
tary of the navy during Cleveland's
first term as president, and before
and after that period in his career one
of the leading Democratic politicians
of the nation, was one of the most
generous distributors of campaign
funds the country has ever known,
and he was as successful in collect
ing funds for campaign purposes as
any man of his generation in either
party, with the possible exception Of
Governor Marshall Jewell of COnnecti-
cut, who was chairman Of the Repub-
lican national committee during the
presidential campaign of 1880. Yet, de-
spite his lavishness of distribution,
Mr. Whitney knew what he was about
every time he distributed campaign
funds He was not one Of those who
disbursed campaign subscriptions law
ishly and then was indifferent as to
the uses to which they were put. He
knew of the temptation to which some
politicians yielded Of keeping for per
sonaI purposes part of the campaign
funds that passed through their hands
an easy thing to do in the old days.
when no detailed record of disburse-
meuts was made.
Mr. Whitney was a firm believer in
the expediency campaign contributions
by large corporations that might have
favors to ask of the politicians or of
the legislature He warmly approved

He Was Glad to Receive Ten Thou

Der of Peace Commission
After Spanish War

The late Senator William P. Frye
If Maine was the second selection
made by President Mckinley for men,

by Mckinley to negotiate the treaty
OF peace with Spain at Paris IN the
las5 fall of 1898.
McKinley's first ses.ation was nat
u7ally John Hay, wise. as secretary of
state at the time - the Spanish war,
had had charge u=3Ger Mckinley of all
the diplomatic matters which arose out
Of our difficulty with Spain 1t was
therefore not only highly appropriate
but essential that Secretary Hay
should be appointed member of this
commission and made it's chairman.
But there came into the mind of Nc
Kfnley as soon as he knew that it de-
VOWED upon him to appoint a treaty
making commission the selection of
Senator Frye as the second member of
that commission.
Mckinley and Frye became intimate
political and personal friends soon aft
er Mckinley entered congress. Frye
had then. been a member Of congress
three terms, and he once told me that
Mckinley was the first Of the new
members whom he greeted on the day
that the new congress of which Nc
K1nley was a member was organized.
Their seats in the house were within
easy reach. They used frequently to
sit side by side, chatting sometimes
for an hour of more. They were in per-
feet agreement on the question of pro-
lection, and it would have been i'm
possible to have found in the house
TWO men who were so thoroughly alike
in the simplicity of their personal
life, in the integrity Of their standards.
both of public and of private life, as
were Mckinley and Frye Their init
macy was maintained after Frye quit
ted the house for the senate; it was
continued after Mckinley entered the
White House. And it was because of
this intimacy, and McKinley's high re-
gard for Senator Frye's integrity of
purpose, that the president decided to
make his longtime friend the second
member of the peace commission. Be
sides, Mckinley knew that Frye was
of the opinion that there was not only
a moral obligation on the part of the
United States to take over the SOW
ereignty of the Philippines, but, fur
thermore, that the peace of the world
made that step essential.
After the commission had finished
its work at Paris and the treaty of
peace was signed, then the question
arose: What compensation should be
paid to the members of the commits
sion? Discussing that point shortly
after the commission had returned
home the president said: (

speeches with a great many anec-

friends of Lincoln told me that in lii

president the country became speed
lily familiar with Lincoln's habit of
using stories in this manner. But
here is a strange thing. I had a great
many chats with Lincoln in the last
two months or six weeks of the ses-
sion of congress Of which we were
both members. We found ourselves
very nearly in agreement on most po-
Iitical questions; we were strongly in
agreement on protection. And Lincoln

Senator Frye's Largest Fee

Casting about in his mind for some
way to reward Senator Frye the pres
ident recalled that his friend had been
dependent ever since the friendship
began, almost wholly on his salary as
a member of congress. He knew of
several occasions when Senator Frye
had declined to accept fees for profess
stonal services as lawyer; he knew
that Senator Frye's standard of con-
duct in that respect was severe He
also knew that the senator had very
little money. Therefore, President Nc

to make such expenditure as he chose
he would authorize the payment to
senator Frye of $4,000 and a like
amount to Senator Davis of Mime

When Senator Frye received the
draft for $4,000 he held it in his hands
for moment with almost a tender
touch. and then said:
Ten thousand dollarsi That is the
largest amount of money I have ever
received at one time for any serv-
ice I have ever given. And / am very
glad to get it."
Yet Senator Frye, had he been will
ing to accept fees. or to give heed to
tempting propositions. to become a
member Of promotion syndicates, could
many times have received much more
than $4,000 for lending his name or
giving his professional services.

When Whitney Trusted Nobody

of the method pursued by the late Hen
~ o. Havemeyer, president of the so
| called sugar trust, who testified he
fore a congressional committee at
Washington in 1914, when the trust
was on the Goals of publicity, that his
| company was accustomed to sea apart
lump sum when political campaigns
were pending, and then, dividing it IN
to two equal parts, give one-half to
| the Republican mad one half to the
Democratic party, simply for the
| purpose of obtaining protection"
When Mr. Whitney was the brains of
the old Metropolitan traction system
OF New York. Democrat as he was, be
nevertheless recognized with perfect
impartiality each of the political par
ties. The Democratic party received
pecisely the same contribution in the
name of that company which the Re-
publican party received, and in each
case the contribution was made with
the implied understanding that the
company would be protected" against
adverse legislation and against the ap-
preach of political blackmailers.
The late Senator Thomas c. PIatt
used to tell his friends with much
chuckling an incident which came TN
der his own observation, illustrating
both the generosity and the sublety Of
Mr.. Whitney with respect to campaign
contributions

was so shrewd and careful that he

He didn't distrust me any more than
he did Chauncey; he trusted US both,
but, nevertheless, he wasn't going to
