OF MONEY IN POLITICS
SNEAKER Refers to Donation of $4,000
to Republican Campaign in Boz BY
Charles P. Taft.

Washington.-Demanding an investl-
cation into campaign expenditures IN
1904 and 1908, Senator Culberson OF
Texas in the senate made sweeping
charges of corruption against the Re-
publican committees for those and other
years. Indirectly he charged That for
eign ambassadorships were bestowed as
a reward for campaign contributions,
and inferentially he charged that former
President Roosevelt had condoned the
use of money in politics.
MI. Culberson's address was made in
anticipation of an unfavoraPle report by
the committee on contingent expenses on
his resolution providing for an investiga.
ton. He said that the limitations OF the
proposed inquiry to 1904 should not be
construed as a confession that there had
not been improper practices before that
period.
Referring especially to the campaign
of 1908, MI. Culberson said the contri'
buttons to the Democratic fund had been
made by $4,000 persons, with $4,000 as
the largest, while those of the Republi
can fund were made by 1890 persons
with Charles p. Taft, brother of the
presidential candidate, at their head will
q donation of $4,000. Among thu
contributors mentioned were Ambassa
doris Reid and Kerens and Minister LAR
Anderson.

Washington.-John A. Farrell, presi-
dent of the United States Steel corpora
ton, surprised the Stanley steel trust
investigating committee with the state
ment that the steel corporation and the
International Harvester Company have
had no business dealings with each other
for five or six years.
The information, coming on the eve OF
a proposed investigation of the harvester
company by congress-, in which it was
sought to show that the harvester com-
pany and the steel corporation had in
terlocking directors and that the latter
gave rebates to the former On steel, was
doubly surprising.
Representative McGillicudy of Maine
questioned President Farrell about the
export business Of the steel corporation
and rebates given to certain companies.
"Isn't it a fact that the International
Harvester Company gets larger rebates
than are granted the smaller com
panies?" McGilicudy asked.
1--WE have done no business with the
International Harvester Company what
ever for five or six years" Mr.. Farrell
replied. THE International Harvester
