Declares Highest Point Reached BE-
fore Investing Public Awaken
to Possibility OF
Clean-tp.

WASHINGTON. Oct. 5. United
States Senator Gore of Oklahoma,
member of the senate finance com
mittee. declared today that New
York bankers may be crazy over
war stocks but the rank and file OF
the bankers are going right along,
content with receiving 3 per cent
for their money
The banks of the southwest are
sitting tight and fear nothing from
the situation, he said War stocks
touched the highest point before the
investing public awoke to the fact
that there was possibility of max
ing cleanup
SO far as have been able TO
learn the trading for the most
part has been confined TO that
class which is always ready TO rush
into the market if the proper bait
Is held out to them. and while
there is always possibility of a
tremendous and disastrous reaction
when stocks begin climbing sky
ward. | do not believe the reaction
will affect many localities outside
of New York.
THE bankers in New York have
learned through hard experience
not to put their faith in market
that is too bullish. 1t is hardly
conceivable that the margins are
sufficiently heavy to cover an enor-
nous decline in the market.

Hibben, daughter of President Hib
ben of Princeton University, and Miss

A Million for Office.

Washington, Jan. 7.-Representative
A. Mitchell Palmer, before the COM
mittee on privileges and elections.
made the flat-footed statement tha,
more than $1,O0O,OOO was spent in
Pennsylvania to accomplish the NOM
ination and election of Senator Pen
rose."
Mr.. Palmer and Representative Ar
thur X. Rupley appeared before the
committee to urge the passage of the
Norris resolution for an Investigation
of expenditures in the primary and
general election in Pennsylvania and
Illinois. This would involve the ex-
penditures on behalf of Boies Pen
rose and Roger Sullivan.
"The Republican state committee
the Philadelphia city committee and
the Pennsylvania Protective Union
have filed accounts in which thew
admit having received and disbursed
.S432,OO0," said Mr.. Palmer to the COM
mittee. "The expenditures of the Re-
publican committees of the other 67
cities which have been accounted for
will average at least $4,000 to the
county, making an expenditure of
%335,0OO, so that it is admitted that
$75O,OOO was spent for the purpose of
insuring Ponrose's election.
1.-THE organized liquor traffic was
never more active in the history of
Pennsylvania and was openly and
avowedly organizing in support of
Penrose and spending huge sums of
money to accomplish his election. Wit
.nesses will be produced who will show
that brewers were taxed by the bar
1el and individual wholesale and re-
tail dealers all assessed large sums
Tor election purposes. The liquor fund
reached several hundred thousand dol
lars. Bribery of voters was common
in many parts of the state.
"The corrupt practices act of the
state was openly, flagrantly and will
1ully violated by the failure of the
Pennsylvania Protective Union to file
any account of it's receipts and dis
bursements at the primary and by the
failure of the organized liquor asso-
citation to file any account at any time.
The federal corrupt practices act was
violated with like impunity."

it Is none the less keenly felt at the
