how much Governor Wilson spent. I'd
like to know how much Mr.. Hilles
spent in the Taft campaign" exclaim-
ed Mr. Dixon.
/ He turned to Senator Pomerene,
who was active in the Harmon cam
paign and said: Il think Senator
Pomerence might tell us something
about Governor Harmon's expendi-
lures"
I'D like to have Senator Oliver tell
how much money was spent in the
Pennsylvania campaign"
Senator Oliver replied he would be
glad to take the stand.
Senator Paynter pointed out that the
committee had before it charges that
from $3,000,000 to S5,000000 had been
used by the Roosevelt people before
the conventions. Another confused
exchange of comment followed.
WAS this $1,000 that Perkins, Mum
sey and Hanna each gave to you in ad-
dition to the amount given to E. II.
Hooker in the New York committee?"
asked Senator Paynter.
Senator Dixon said it was.
Senator Paynter asked if Herman
Frasch, who gave $4,000 to the New
York headquarters, was connected
with the sugar interests.
Senator Dixon insisted the sugar
trust" was opposed to Colonel Roose-
welt, but he did not know whether Mr..
Frasch was connected with the sugar
interests.
Senator Dixon said that when he
got desperately hard up" he went
back TO Perkins. All the rest of the
plutocrats were for Taft" he said.
Senator Dixon suggested that the
ccmmitte summon Josiah Quincy of
Boston, William A. McAdoo of New
York, George Harvey of. New York
and William f. McConbs.
Through them, he said, he believed
the committe would find that gen
tleman named Penfield of Philadelphia
had given $4,000 to Governor Will
sons pre-convention campaign and
$4,000 since his nomination.
81 also suggest the calling of Thom-
as F. Ryan, he said. II have been
reliably informed that he contributed
a large sum to the campaign of Mr..
Underwood that A. H. Plant, audior
of the Southern Railway, also gave
tn this campaign. | have been in
formed that large sums were given
b. financiers of New York to the
campaign of Governor
Harmon of Ohio.
He also mentioned Fred B. Lynch
Of Minnesota, E. D. Johnson of South
Dakota as possible witnesses.
Senator Dixon further asked the
committee to summon Louis Ham,
merlin of New York, whom he said
he was informed was the advertising
agent of the Standard Oil company;
and had been given funds to control
the editorial policy of 200 newspa-
pers published in foreign languages.
I'D like to have Charles P. Taft
here and asked if he
spent, as is commonly reported, $780,
300 to nominate Mr.. Taft"
Exchanges between Senators Dixon
md Pomerene became so heated that
Mr.. Pomerene invited Mr.. Dixon out
side, but the affair passed off without
| conflict. Mr.. Dixon closed his tes-
imony without giving the name of his
that large sums had been
pent for Mr.. Taft.
