this state, winding up his campaign in
Madison Square Garden on Saturday.
October %. The original intention of
the Democratic managers was for Gov

The Democrats, fearful Of the in
roads being made upon their ranks by
the assaults of the Republicans, are
preparing for final drive in New
York and other pivotal states during
the last two weeks of the campaign.
The plan has not yet been completed,
but frequent conferences are held
here in the Office Of George White,
Democratic national chairman, at which
national leaders discuss the details.
Yesterday Josephus Daniels, Secretary
of the Navy, was closeted for upward
OF an hour with Chairman White. Mr..
Daniels is to take the stump this week
in Maine.

ranks caused by the nomination of Gov
ernor Cox have grown to such pronor.

Senator Edge referred to the record
and brought out that Mr.. Blair's office
is spending $4,000 a month for sal

director of the Democratic committee
testified last week his salary list was
$4,000 monthly.
The main difference between your

Edge added
Mr. Blair told the committee the

offered three Of his $3.50 men $3.50 a
week and an unlimited expense account,
but they preferred to stay with the Re-,
publican committee.
Mr.. Blair said the Treasurer's Office
had had virtually no expense for print
ing thus far, but was planning to
"capitalizc" the advertising given the
official bulletin by Governor Cox and
print thousands of copies of it.
"fou think your bulletin has been
pretty we'll advertised?" Senator Ken

sponded the witness.
He explained to Senator Kenyon
that consistent efforts had been made
to avoid receiving pledges from large
interests which might afterward de-
mand favors of Congress.
I'VE made no attempt whatever to
get contributions from officers of cor
porations as such" said Mr.. Blair.

We went to them in their capacity
as Individual citizens and not as off
GERS of corporations" explained Mr.
Blair.
you mean you went to the indi-

not to the corporations themselves, u
reJolned the Missouri Senator.
Correspondent Won't Answer
The committee tried so-cay unsuc-
cessfully to learn by what authority c.
Z. Brainerd, Washington correspondent mt

Mr.. Blair told the committee that

tempt was to be made to raise more
money there. The witness added that
DR.. j. C. Stockbridge, of Atlanta
quoted Taylor as saying that the Re-
rubllcans hoped to raise $4,000 in
Atlanta alone. This was the amount
charged by Governor Cox as the quota
as the quota for the entire state OF
Georgia.
Quotas Called for $5,000,000
Mr.. Blair early in his testimony said
that hen he undertook his duties in
November, 1915, a list Of state quotas
had been made up calling for approx
this figure wi tn the $3,O00,0OO budget
presented in last weeks testimony by
Chairman Will H. Hays was brought
into the proceedings.
Mr.. Upham volunteered from the
audience that Mr.. Blair knew nothing
about the manner in which the money
he collected was to be disbursed.
81 expect to satisfy I.r. Upham and
raise $3,000,000," the witness told SEN
ator Reed
"And you are expected to raise that
for the national Committee and then
have the moneys that are due the
oeoICo VIZ tuclI pkOpVIllOH CUrnGQ over
to them, SO that the National COMMITTEES
will have the 100000 clear?" asked
Senator Reed.
"You really don't know what the
money is for-the division of it," the
Senator asked.
"Oficially l know nothing about it
because / have nothing to do with dis.
bursting it," replied MI. Blair.
'"Unofficially what do you know %
asked the Senator.
Nothing" was the reply.
Il shall object to any more prompt
ing Of this Witness" announced SEN
ator Reed.
"If have been prompted I do not
know it," retorted Mr.. Blair.
The witness said fatty that the pro-
posal to raise the limit of individual
campaign contributions above $1,000
was the only reason for the disapprov-
ing of Form 101. He said his plans
contemplated no secrecy in fund col
Letting, but characterized as "a cam
paign expedient" an instruction in the
form warning against leaving papers
relating to fund drives on the tables
after luncheon attended by those en-
gagged in the work.
Senator Kenyon called attention to
the fact that the work in Cleveland de-
SShACSN Wy uAk. olOSSOH HI LQS morning
session followed the details of Form
101 closely.
s1,7oo,ooo Before Convention
The witness explained that almost
all the men associated with him in the
Republican drive had shared expert
ences with the witness in Y. M. c. A,
and war fund work and tnat their ideas
on how to conduct a campaign for
funds conceded closely.
Mr.. Blair agreed that some sections
of Form 101, aside from the plan to
raise the limit of campaign contribu.
tions above $1,000. demonstrated that
the national headquarters showed wis
dom in refusing to sanction the docu-
ment.
Asked how successful his drive for
funds had been, Mr.. Blair said that
between December i, 1918, and June ~
1920 (the pre-convention period), cash
and pledges amounted to $1,70O, 900
From June IL to September 7, he said
the total was $1,20O,0O0.

Republicans Predict Landslide

~RA~AAS0uS 1FGUAC& 1JAN03I1uG
AT Republican National =Headquar-
Sers the managers are predicting 8
landslide to their party. Their plan
OF action Is to roll up big majorities
such as New York, by an intensive
speaking. campaign led by the ablest
men in the party.
1t is said the first important speech
which Senator Harding will make in
the East will be at Baltimore.
A determined effort to win back the
dry D .aocratic votes which have been
swung to Senator Harding by. Governor
Cox's attitude now is being made. The
first step in that direction was taken
yesterday when Mr.. McAdoo came out
fol-. the Federal bone dry amendment,
and declared his opposition to any
modification of the Volstead act.
Prohibition" said Mr.. McAdoo,
means prevention. 1t does not mean
sale of light wines and bee- is to open
a crack in the door Of prevention, and
one the crack is open, the door is
opened wide. 1t would be impossible
to administer a beer and light wine
law in such manner as to prevent the
gravest abuses.
Opposed to Modified Law
II know from my experience as
Secretary Of the Treasury that no law
which provides for a drink containing
certain percentage of alcohol can be
successfully enforced
IF the law should permit thousands
of breweries and wineries to be re-
opened throughout the land and to
manufacture beverages with a specified
alcoholic content, it would be impos-
slble to prevent the manufacture of
those beverages with a larger per-
centage of alcohol than prescribed, or
to prevent adulteration after manufac-
ture, and the effect would be to nullify
the prohibition amendment.
1.-THE breweries and the wineries
know that the prohibition amendment
will be dead letter once beer and
light wine law is passed. Every man
and every woman voter who puts the
welfare of children and humanity above
the mere qualification of harmful ap-
petites should see to it that the next
Congress does not destroy the pro-
hlbition amendment"
1T was announced at Democratic
headquarters that Franklin D. Roose-
welt, after speaking from September 13

Emergency housing has taken many
new and novel forms since the pinch

been more unusual and interesting
than Tuck" Turner's home built of
firewood. at Waltham, Mass.
Tuck" who some years ago was
a star OF the baseball diamond, had
been receiving from the firm for
which he worked firewood by the
wagon load, consisting of packing
cases.
These he stored up In his cellar and
backyard, and one day when his land
lord demanded prohibitive rental
for the house he lived in he con-
ceived the idea of building a home.
He bought lot and built in his spare
time. Within four months his great
pile of lockwood had been converted
into a modest but roomy home, which
Tuck" and his family will occupy
shortly as his permanent home, or
until such time as his finances will
permit of an investment in more pre-
