So he actively opposed Bourne. This

Bourne favored parcels post be-
cause a parcels post Is generally
agreed to be In the interest OF all the

In casting these votes, Kent was

the largest number OF people In his
district and in the United States. He
was carrying out a prediction pledge
that he would never cast "a sectional

chairman In the 1908 campaign, was
today, called before the senate in
vestigaticn committee TO amplify his
former testimony In the light OF
definite records recently obtained by
the committee.
Senator Jones wanted information
why tne national committee refused
a $1,000 contribution from James w
Guffey. OF Pennsylvania, one of the
Instances which Mack cited where the
committee turned down money.
Was IL because he was connected
with the Standard Oil Coz" Jones
asked.
He may or may no, have been, but
the impression of people generally
was that he was so connected" an
swerad Mack. After the election
accepted his contribution Of $1,000.
The committees funds at that time
were $1,000 short. II Bryan had been
elected ! would not have taken Col.

Mack said the largest contribution
70 the 1905 fund was $4,000 given by
Charles f. Murphy for Tammany.
Former Senator Clark, OF Montana,
gave 1900 each 10 the New York and
