Senator Dixon and Campaign Funds

1t was a sorry figure that Senator
Dixon, as Mr.. Roosevelt's campaign
manager, cut before the Senate com.
mittee which is investigating cam.
paign contributions. Instead of frank.
ly answering questions regarding
Roosevelt's campaign contributions.
and leaving the committee to ignore
the other candidates at its and their
peril, he adopted the you're another"
policy. "YOu are investigating
Roosevelt only!" was the turn of his
complaint. But II Mr.. Roosevelt''s
skirts are really clear, what harm
would that do him? Wouldn't it put
him In the advantageous position of
having proved his innocence while his
opponents dared not 60 through the
ordeal? The course Mr.. Dixon did
pursue could not have had no other
tendency than to create an impression
that Roosevelt is sunk as deep as
anybody in campaign-fund. This is
unfortunate for candidate who poses
as immaculate-not relatively but alb
solutely.

When he testifies that they were made

any return, he must be regarded as
speaking in the narrow sense Of some
