TAFT BROTHERS
PRINCIPAL DONORS
THEY GAVE s15O,OOO TO THE PRE-
CONVENTION FUND.
NOMINATION WAS COSTLY
Mckinley Says He Does Not Know Exact
Amount Spent.-Campaign Cost Five
Times What Was Expected.

Washington.-The sum of S265,0Oo,
collected and spent in the campaign for
President Taft's denomination through
his Washington headquarters, was partly
accounted for by Representative William
B. Mckinley of Illinois, the presidents
campaign manager, in testimony before
the senate investigating committee.
Mr.. Mckinley said the Taft Family"
comprising Charles P. Taft, Henry W.
Taft and Horace Taft, brothers OF the
president, gave $4,000. The campaign;
he declared, had cost five times what
was anticipated.
The other chief contributors to the
Taft fund, with the respective amounts,
as given by Mr.. Mckinley, were:
John Hays Hammond, S2j, 600; An
drew Carnegie, $25,O00j e. T. Stotcsbury,
Philadelphia, $25, 700; MIR. Kelsey" and
Mr.. Patton" Of New York, described as
friends of the president" $4,000;
Richard Kerens, St. Louis, ambassador
to Austria-Hungary, $1,000; Senator w.
Murray Crane, $5,OO0j Secretary Knox,
$500; Attorney General Wickersham,
ST 900; former Senator Nathan B. Scott,
$1,000; A. c. James, S $1,000.
Mr.. Mckinley could give no informa-
ton as to the Taft funds raised in the
different states. He declared he did ret
even know the names of men in charge
of affairs in many states, The balance
Of the big fund, for which he had no rec
ords, had "dripped out in the different
campaigns he said. The contributions
to the state campaigns by the Taft ma
tional headquarters were given as fol-
lows:
West Virginia, $4,000; Maryland, $1O,-
900 to $4,000; Ohio, $4,000; Illinois,
$4,000; Maine, $1,000; Texas, $4,000;
Indiana, $4,000; Iowa, $1,000; Kansas,
S., 1000; Kentucky, $4,000.
Mr.. Mckinley admitted freely that the
Taft campaign committee had paid the
expenses of delegates to the Chicago
convention, a procedure That both he and
Mr.. McHarg said had been a 'long-stand-
ing custom" Asked as to how many del
egates had thus been provided for, he
said he thought expenses had been paid
wherever a delegate could not afford to
pay his own way"
