WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct. 2.-Sen.
ator Dixon, manager of RooseveIt's
campaign, testified before the Senate
investigating committee this morning
that Dr.: Hanna, Geo. w. Perkins and
Frank Munsey gave $4,000 each in
addition to the amount of campaign
contributions set before their names
yesterday. He charged that Charles
Taft has given 100000 to aid the
campaign of his brother, William
Howard Taft, for reelection.
That RooseveIt's campaign in 1904
was backed almost exclusively by the
corporations was the testimony Of G.
r. Sheldon, present treasurer of the
Republican national campaign com.
mittee, who testified that at the time
in question the Standard Oil Com
pany, J. Pierpont Morgan, II. c. Frick
and George Gould each contributed
100000 to aid Roosevelt; % and he
makes the further astounding asser-
ton that Of the total campaign fund
collected for Roosevelt, the corpora
tions contributed seventy-three and
one-haIf per cent.
