COLE FLATLY DENIES
MULHALL AIDED HIN
contradicts Testimony That
Manufacturers Backed Him

Ralph D. Cole of the Eighth Ohio dis
trict.
In 1908. the National Association
OF Manufacturers had one member
each in two counties in my district,
one in Union county and one in Hardy
county. I never got a vote out of

the n. A. NJ. had over my nomination.
Only three members of either delega-

Mulhall had testified that he had or
sanized the manufacturers of Coles

him the nomination and, later, the
election.
He denied that he ever received a
contribution from the n. A. NJ. or any
other organization in the campaign for
the nomination. which lasted over two
months, and took two conventions LACE
ballots.
Cole said he had written so to the
hotels in the various county seat towns
of Ohio there was no record that Null

WILSON TO RETURN
FORCURRENCY FRAY
President Due Back Tomorrow
Prepared to Take Up Final
Stage of Fight.

President Wilson will return to
take up the final stage of his fight
with Congress for currency legisla-
ticn. Alre ady the President has
practically won his victory on the
tariff, which has passed both houses,
and is progressing rapidly with the
ccnferees. His ability to make Con-
grcss stay in Washington until it has
Iassed the currency bill also will be
the final test of power.
The President is determined that
the currency bill shall pass before
the present extraordinary session ad-
journs What is more. he is deter
mined that mis- currency bill--the Ad-
ministration pill-shall pass. and
without q single change in any i'm
portant feature. He has to deal with
q Congress tired out by its labors
in what has already been record
extra session, and sullen from the
prospect of no vacation. Yet so far
he has had his way. The big stick
has been at work. and no surer sign
OF it's effectiveness has been seen
than in the capitulation of the Demo
cratic Senate steering committee 20
the demands of the President. Be-
fore the conference last week be-
tween this committee and the Presi-
dent five of its nine members were
outspoken in declaring their oppo-
sition to currency legislation at this
time After the meeting. lasting 80
minutes, 1t was announced that She
committee had agreed to push cur
rcncy legislation along as rapidly as
possible.
The House will take up the currency
bill in detail this week, arguments hav-
ing been heard last week, and 1t rs eX-
pected that the action Of the House
Democratic caucus in approving the bill
will prevent any amendments from be
ing made. The opposition. however, will
concentrate its efforts against the pro-
visions requiring that national banks
shall subscribe 20 per cent of their capi-
tai and > per cent of their deposits to
the proposed Federal reserve banks. and
ment obligations. Efforts will also be
power given by the bill to the Federal
reserve board.
Hearings on the bill will be resumed
tomorrow by the Senate Banking and
Currency Committee. Financial experts
such as Profs. Spregg. of Harvard:
Irving Fisher, of Yale, and Jeremiah
jerks, of Cornell. bankers and mer-
chants will be heard.
There is still much talk Of opposi-
ton developed and opposition to appear
among the Democrats. but the fact re-
mains that so far the President has
won out at every stage in the fight.
