More righteous taxes were never

passed a bond issue of nearly a mil
lion dollars for completion of the
San Diego Panama California exposi-
,ion on the lines made necessary by
the government requirements and the
needs of the states and countries that

bond issue of $1,000,O00. Both these
funds are about half expended; $780,
600 of the bond issue remaining in
the treasury The work of organiza-
ton developed early that the funds
were not sufficient if all the states
and countries that notified the expo
sition Of their coming really came.
The capital stock was increased by
$2,500000, making the total capitali-
zation $3,500,000, with another bond
issue of $S50,000 and this bond issue

A letter from Littlefield urging aid
for Jenkins was read:
Schwedtman wrote Mulhal on June
2, 1908:
You will notice that our newspa-
pers state that the National platform
is being written at the present time
at the white house. You can rest as
sured that Theodore Roosevelt. who
is still smarting from the defeat he
has received at the hands of congress
and the people lately, will embody all
of his policies in the platform and
many of the leaders, being anxious
for harmony, will go the limit in meet
ing his views" a
A Schwedtman letter to Mulhall
June 8, about the Republican platform,
quoted Emery thus:
Am in touch with the chairman of
the resolutions committee
Another June 6, quoted Emery on
Mulhalls interview with Postmaster
General Hitchcock, then MIR. Taft's
campaign manager:
Il think Mulhall's interview with
Hitchcock is one of the best things
ever. The same Hitchcock is an ad-
vanced exponent of the Roosevelt
labor policies.
Several letters introduced today
seemed to show Mulhall and Emery in
close relations. General Manager Bird
of the manufacturers, testified yester-
day that Emery was counsel for the
national council for Industrial defense,
which had no connection with the
manufacturers association. Mulhall
swore today that the manufacturers
referred him to Emery: that Emery
was constantly in touch with his work
and Eventually wanted to run all the
field work"
Mrlhall testified to an acquaintance
with Edward Hines, the Chicago lum.
Der man, who figured prominently in
the Lorimer case.
Favored Cannon for President
Speaker Cannon and Congressman
Watson of Indiana were the principal
advisers of the National Association !
of Manufacturers at the Republican I
national convention in Chicago in
1908, Mulhall testified "Our entire
organization was busy trying to nom
mate Sherman and trying to keep Ia !
Dor planks out of the platform" he /
said
The organization swung to the sup
port of Taft although it did not like
some of his public utterances on labor t
said Mulhall, because it
became evident that Cannon and the
other presidential candidates had 10
chance of success.
"The organization would have ia
,red Cannon above all others he
said. "The manufacturers officers
1ad the promises of Mr.. Voryes and
