Demanding an investigation in
to campaign expenditures in 1904
and 1908, Senator Culoerson of
Texas, in the senate made sweep
ing charges of corruption against
the republican committee for
those and other years.
incidentally. he charged that
foreign ambassadorships were
bestowed as reward for cam
paign contributions, and that
former President Roosevelt has
condoned the use of money in
politics.
Mr.. Culbersop's address was
made in anticipation Of an unfa-
vorable report by the committee
on contingent expenses on his
resolution providing for an inves-
tigation. He said the limitation
of the proposed inquiry to begin
with 1904 should not be construed
as meaning there had not been
improper practices before that
period.
Referring especially to the
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1912-03-02

Theodore Roosevelt, he of the
reputation which includes refer
ences to the loud mouth, " big.
STICK" and "Ananias club" is to
be a candidate for president. He
says: h
II will accept the nomination
for president if it is rendered me-,
and will adhere to this decision
until the convention has express
ed it's preference"
That Theodore is now the lead,
ing member of the "Ananiasl
club" which he originated some
years ago, it is quite, certain.
For definite proof, note two of,
his previous utterances regard
ing the presidential nomination. !
"On the 4th Of March next 1
shall have served three and one
half years, and this three and a
half years constitutes my first
term. The wise custom which
limits the president to two terms

the form, and under no circum-
stances will l again be a candi.
date for. or accept, another
nomination for president" -
Theodore Roosevelt, Nov. 8, 1904.
II have not changed, and shall
not change, that decision thus
announced. Theodore Roose-
velt, Dec. II, 1907.
The Chicago Inter-Ocean has
this comment to offer:
'Of course the situation of Mr..
Roosevelt now is somewhat diff
ferent from what it was in De-
cember, 1907. Then he was chief
magistrate of a country whose
prosperity had been devasted by
his folly. He knew it; everybody
knew it; he knew everybody
knew it. Then Mr.. Roosevelt
was piteously proclaiming that
all this havoc might be for our
moral regeneration, and getting
only looks of scorn for his pains.
Then Mr.. Roosevelt was trying
to whistle to keep his courage
up and making a poor pucker of
it.. Now things are different,
but nothing has happened to
change the soundness or the
American decency of Mr.. Roose-
velt's logic on Nov. 8, 1904.
Only Mr.. Roosevelt is going to
eat his words. and a nation waits
to behold the extraordinary spec
tacle.

campaign of 1908, Mr.. Culberson
said that the contributions to tire
democratic fund had been made
by "a, 900 persons, with $1,000 as
the largest. while those to the
Republican fund were made by
1888 persons with Charles P.
Taft, brother of the president,
then candidate, at their head,
with a donation of $4,000.
Among the contributors men,
toned were ambassadors Reid
and Kerens and Minister Lars
Anderson.
Mr.. Culberson referred to the
fact that George B. Cortelyou, in
the 1904 campaign, held the posi-
tion of chairman of the republic
an national committee while he
was secretary of commerce and
labor, and intimated that Mr..
Cortelyou had taken advantage of
secrets of corporations whose af-
fairs might be investigated under
the federal law to procure money
for the campaign.
1T has been estimated" he
said, that the enormous and un-
considerable sum of $11, 900, 600
was raised and probably expend-
ed that year by the committee of
which he was chairman. The
very size and audacity of this
fund, if approximately correct,
smacks of extortion, profligacy
and corruption. Who contribut-
ed, and where did it come from?"
Mr.. Culberson said that there
should be an inquiry to answer
these questions. He went into
some detail regarding the news
paper charges that the late E. H.
Hartman had used a fund of
$3.50, 900, to which he himself
had contributed $4,000, in sup
port of the republican ticket in
1904. He said that within the
past few weeks an effort has
been made to close up this charge,
and added: This attempt to un-
load upon the dead the obliquy
of this disgraceful transaction
which is said to have changed
$4,000 votes in the city of New
York, may be signifcantin many
ways. 1t may be the prime cause
of malefactors waiting for the
absconding or death of witnesses,
or it may presage a movement
Of national consequence and
magnitude"
