STEPHENSON BUYS PUBLICITY
Wisconsin Senator Contends Money
Was Spent Legitimately.
ALL USED FOR THE PRIMARIES
His Managers Say They Made No
Payments of Any Kind to In
nuence Members of che
Legislature.

MILWAUKEE, Oct. 3.-That the s107 79S
which was expended by United States
Senator Isaac Stephenson in his cam
paign for nomination at the primaries
was used legtimately for brass bands,
Autographs, buttons and other campaign
advertising and was not employed cor
ruptly was the gist of testimony given
today before the senatorial investigating
committee.
The committee which is investigating
charges that Mr. Stephenson secured his
seat in the senate by bribery and other
corrupt use of money examined f. a.
Edmonds, manager Of the Stephenson
campaign in 1908 Mr.. Edmonds de-
scribed in full the method of organizing
in the state. Knowing that the senator
was DESTROYS of reelection and fearing
the opposition would be strong, the wit
ness said a thorough organization was
determined upon. This resulted in Mr..
Stephenson's nomination at the primaries
and his election by the legislature the
year following. The thoroughness of the
campaign explains the large amount of
money spent, but all OF II was for the
and none OF It for the cleo
ton by the legislature. he said
No Detailed Accounts kent.
Edmonds said none of the campaign
workers rendered detailed report of
expenditures and no such report was re-
quired of them
DO you mean to SAP that. knowing the
law, you required no detailed report of
the moneys spent in MIR. stephenson's be-
half?" asked Senator Pomerene.
we never required a report from
them
1t was pointed out ny the witness that
with 200 precincts in the state, there
were 1886 republican party organizers.
This was intended to show that Mr.
Stephenson's expenditures were not ex-
cessive. There was keen competition
among the republican candidates and
Mr.. Stephenson had to work hard to get
out the voters to insure his nomination,
the witness said
"A man has to be ready to spend a
couple OF hundred thousand dollars TO get
the senatorial. nomination in this state,
isn't that so2" asked Senator suther-
land.
We'll, II he hasn't got the money. he'd
better keep out of politics" responded
the witness.
It was pointed out that in some coun-
tries Senator Stephenson spent an amount
equal TO s. a vote
Did you notice any evidences of pros
perity after this money had been handed
out to the common people?" asked sena-
tor Hepburn. the chairman.
IT was too busy to observe" replied
Edmonds. I'VE had a hard fight. for
the half-breeds were determined to beat
us"
What do you mean by 'half-breeds'
Half breeds in Wisconsin are what
we call the followers of Senator La
Toilette, or the republicans who are not
regular. AS soon as they forsake the
regular republican party for Senator
La Toilette they are called half breeds. "
