yas ma1e NJ show that Ill money spent
campaiom e1ould be charged up to the
rat3oual cAu1idata because of the re-
nacted b6asnt he might obtain from
Buch expenditure. Mr.. Brown told the
committee that Of the S127.ooo which
Dan Hanna gave In the State. only about
&ksoo could rightfuily be charged to the
Roosevelt candidacy. a. the principal
State organization from what he termed
the Federal omceholders" there. and
that the Aght would have been made
and the money spent whether Mr.. Roose-
yelt'R victory IN the State primaries
was assured or not

GIVEN him by Hanna, $4,000 had been
headquarters and $4,000 sent to the yari-
Gus county committees. all for the elec-
tton OF Roosevelt delegates OF the
$1,000 additional given by Hanna, $500
had been used to defray the expenses Of
the Roosevelt special train during the
colonels tour and the remainder had
Been used exclusively In the campaign

OF the money spent from tho Columbia
headquarters. q large part had gone for
postal cards and advertising. he said.

lot used, Mr.. Brown said that virtually

~. Hale TestiAes.
Mathew Hale. of Boston, the Roose-
welt leader in Massachusetts,. showed that
$n.As had been spent by the Roosevelt
organization there. OF which amount the
National Committee had contributed $s2,-
La Mr.. Hale said that there may have
been some small amounts raised by the
small committees throughout the State
and not turned in to him. but that from
the frequent requests he received for
funds he did not believe q considerable
amount had been raised.
Hale said most Of the Roosevelt money
had been spent in educational work, such
As the sending out Of literature. advertis-
ing In 'newApapers. and holding Roosevelt
rallies. while the Taft people had spent
the greater part Of their money at the
flag end Of the campaign after Repre-
sentative Gardner came up to Massachu-
sets.
MT. Hale told the committee that al
larger expenditure Of money than ordi-
narily would have been called for wasl
necessitated by tyo circumstances. In
the first place, Ne said. much Of thel
Roosevelt money was spent in shaping
up the sentiment in favor Of direct pri-
maries and securing the passage Of the|
Massachusetts, primary law, q measured
which was bitterly opposed by the Taft
or9Anixation.
A second circumstance was that in theI
last mayoralty dght in Boston, between
two factions Of Democrats. an excep-l
tionally large sum of money had been
spent, this fact raising the standard forl
expenditures in Massachusetts and mel
cessitating more advertising than ordi-
narily. He said the defeated candidate
in tho mayoralty contest had filed al
statement showing expenditures Of more
than $4,000.

Of the Taft Club. filed q statement OF
