collection of funds by the State Dem
ocratic committee. Lieutenant Gov
ernor Ellyson said.
| The last time of which I have
any knowledge when contributions
were received from corporations TO
! our campaign was In 1901. This was
when Hon. A. j.. Montague was our
nominee for governor, Colonel Joseph
E. Willard for lieutenant governor
and Major William A. Anderson for
attorney general
Il presume no one will deny that
Mr.. Barbour vas chosen, first. because
OF his ability, and. second because
of his. close re!a tons with great rail-
way corporations which gave <hlm
ready access to those who made the
contributions at that time 50 much

plished by Mr. Barbour makes his
name. one Always to be gratefully

ciate what was done by the leaders OF
that day"

In reply to this portion Of Mr.
Ellyson's statement. former Cover

Il have just seen former i.ieuten-
ant Governor Willard. and he fully

of the campaign Of 1901, when | was

nor
II remember perfectly Mr. Elyson
saying to me that he had no money:
that the railroads were not making
any contributions, and asked me to
see the nominee for iieutenant-gov-
ernor. Captain willard. and TO say
10 him that without his aid the legi-
innate expenses OF the campaign
could not be financed. | have every
reason to believe that 1t was through
the generosity OF Captain Willard
that the party campaign so far as
| the State ticket was concerned, was
financed by Captain willard"
Captain Willard. who was In the
city yesterday, declined 10 make any
statement whatever, but conferred
with Governor Montague before the
latter gave out his statement
The promise of Mr. Jones 70 read
additional letters, which viii throw
yet more light upon his charges has
added interest to the campaign. These
letters II a. expected. will bring
another reply from Senator Martin
and It is thought probable that yet
ather names will be brought In and
yet more statements will be forth
coming.
