ARCHBQLD WILL Be
FIRST WITNESS At
CAMPAIGN HEARING
Promises to Bring Private
Papers Bearing on Stand
ard Oils Alleged Gift,

John d. Archbold. presiding genius of
Standard OIL will probably be the first
witness before the Senate Committee in
vestigating campaign contributions
when its hearings are resumed here
September 20, 1t was learned today.
Archbold will precede Colonel Roose-
welt on the stand. He will be recalled
to amplify his former testimony regard
ing Standard Oils reputed contribution
Of slp5,oeo in 1904 to aid Roosevelt.
Senator Clapp, chairman of the prob
ing committee, said today that Arch
bold has promised to present documents
and books from his private office, II
they can be found, regarding the big
campaign gift.
The era of huge campaign funds is
passing away, and the profession of
campaign speaking Is becoming less
lucrative. in the belief of Senator Clapp.
The prosecution of campaigns Is get
ting bacl. to the people, mere & atui-
tous WORK is being done, and the neces-
city of urge contributions will become
less pressing in the future in the Sena-
tors opinion.
Il think the Investigations aiready'
campaigns are getting back to the peo-
ple," said Senator Clapp. The voters
are realizing more keenly that 'iollar
cannot be spent unless q dollar iC con-
tr!buted. Either they must make the
contribution or It must come from some
other source. The publicity given the
source of large contributions, and the
appeals that are being made to the
rank AID file for small contributions are
both working to convince voters that
they should make their own campaigns.
AS result. there are moIe men each
year giving their services gratuitously.
First Big Fund in 1896.
THE big campaign fund in Preslden-
tial years began in 1896. The tank of
bimetallism stirred many mea to frenzy,
They sent checks here and checks there
hoping II. some way TO staVe off what
they believed was sure calamity and
ruin if the Democrats triumphc1.
AT once men who had worked for
nothing in previous years would not
turn a wheel unless they were paid for
it. The money poured in, the workers
knew it and they demanded a share OF
the fund Once established, the Gus
tom was hard to break. Campaign
managers knew what one campaign had
cost: they made commensurate esti-
mates as to the cost of the next one.
The workers and speakers had been
paid in 1896; when the next election
rolled around they expected like treat
ment.
But the publicity given the source
OF these big funds had convinced many
voters that they would prefer to make
smah contributions themselves and give
their services rather than run the risk
OF the party involving itself in obliga-
tions to huge contributors.
Campaigns are getting back to the
people. 1t is healthy sign and marks
the beginning of return to less ex-
pensive campaigns.

los for ssoA Thirty years later such a
sum was not even a beginning
Although the previous hearings Of the
Senate subcommittee were not given
the attention which will be accorded the
hearings beginning September 20, Sem
ator Clepp is OF the opinion that the
earlier hearings brought out most of
the material facts about campaign con-
trieutions during the campaigns of 1904
and 1908.
Elderly Lady Gets "Front Seat"
The notices sent prospective witnesses
for the next hearings all demanded their
presence In Washington September 30.
This was the only practical way to
handle the matter, as the committee
will not know until the hearings be-
gin In what order witnesses will be
wanted to appear nor the date on which
they may he heard. Witnesses will, in
practice, be asked to hold themselves in
readiness to come any time after Sep
,ember 40 that the committee desires

were sent waived objection and no wit
