Today's meeting was mild, brief
session. Former Senator Beveridge
Of Indiana, bull moose leader, told
how he got $4,000 for his reelection

The committee was appointed as a
result of charges in the senate by
Senator Cuiberson OF Texas, that the
republican party had spent millions
to secure control of the nation. Tes-
timony developed that the party did
receive $1,s0o,ooO in 1892: s3.45o,0Oo
in 1896; 100000 in 1900 and $780,
900 in 1904
That Thomas F. Ryan, traction
magnate, gave $4,000 to the Parker
campaign of 1904, was the most in
teresting sidelight of democratic fl
nances.
Among the 1904 contributions to
the republicans were: j. p Morgan
and company, 100000 and 100000
each from Henry C. Frick and George
j. Gould.
Much testimony was given regard
ing an alleged collection by e. H.

other alleged donation of 100000 by
the Standard Oil Company. Produc-
ton of alleged duplicate accounts OF
