 Campaign of Financial Activities

Virginia. From MT. Dckey and MT.
 McNider. the committee learned of
 the plans to raise money in those
 states. Missouri's share of the na-
 tional Republican fund was given as
 $90,OO0 and Iowa's as $75,000. Mir.
 McNider said that of his own initia- tive he set the Iowa goal at $200.000 and believed that the figure asked by the national committee was too low to cover state, congressional dis tricts, and national ticket needs in his state. He said that $52,000 had been raised MT. Moore told the com mttee he thought his testimony tend ed to support the Democratic charges that the $3.O00,000 budget of the Re publican national committee was on- ly a small part of the total that the party proposed to raise.
 Mir. Paxton's testimony was that he had raised $4,2S5 from 41 contrib utors and that James M. Saunders had raised $3.910 more in the county When he said that was all he had to offer, Senator Kenyon indicated that he had been subpoenaed at the re- quest of Democratic members of the committee and thought requiring a journey of $50 miles for such testi- r-crs- wcs- rank i-iuet;cr" |"
 Well, | don't think so at alI," in terposed Senator Reed If we can not get the truth here by wholesale, we will get it by retail
 Well, you certainly are not going to bring in every county chairman in the country" replied Senator Ken yon.
 Mir. McNider's testimony also brought small sensation when Sen ator Reed asked him: Did Fred w. Upham, treasurer Of the Republican i committee, say to you in ! substance just before you took the ! stand that you never got form 101 1 because it was never sent out?'
 The witness said Mir Upham asked | him if he had received it and when I Mir. McNider replied in the negative !! he treasurer rejoined: 'I guess not" |
 Senator Kenyon brought out that !! three or four persons were listen 1, ing to the conversation.
 The testimony of the state chair | men and MT. Paxton also developed | hat considerable of the work of raiS- ! ing the campaign fund was done by | salaried state directors" from Repub | Iican headquarters. W. 4. Healing of ! California was named as in charge in | Missouri and Chas. Mavity as the i field agent for West Virginia and later for Iowa, after Irving c. Norwood had | quit because of disagreement with | Republican headquarters"
 Mr Moore was the first and also | the last witness of the day. When he 1 resumed the stand in the afternoon, he said:
 Much of my information will be | useless and the whole investigation | will be also, if the committee thinks | that Governor Cox's charge is a 1 of the method and plan of the Republican drive for funds II think the plan of spreading the con tributions over the country is excel 1 iChl Dut II lHtIt lS DtlHS TdlSeu fund that is $10,00O,O0O or Sl2,OOO 900 more than the Republican national itself thinks is sufficient, you will agree with me that it would be a bad thing for America no matter how it is raised"
 We all agree on that" said Sena- tor Kenyon.
 The witness and chairman then agreed that the published list an nounced by Governor Cox in his speech was a correct dup licate of the quota sheet which he read from on that occasion and that il would not be necessary to put the governors copy in evidence.
 Handing up the list Mir Moore said that Pittsburgh's quota was given ss SIQOOOO.
 "H. C. Eldowny. president of the Union Trust company. can give you the information that this is the quota and also tell how much has been raised" he said. He also said that w. A. Woodford and Duely S. Bossom of Cleveland could tell about that ciiy's quota of $400.0OO and that Edmund Silverbrand. in charge of the Youngs- town district, had waived a sheaf of checks before hotel clerk and said
 This is the way to get the money"
