and have forced federal Office holders
into contributing to the democratic
fund.
Hays gave detailed figures and in
formation on republican campaign
contributions and promised the com
mittee the names of all contributors
and the source Of every dollar col
lected by or for the national COM
mittee would be disclosed.
His figures showed a total fund
of $4,079, 900 to be raised, of which
5000, 1000, he said was the national
committees budget and the other
million was an estimate of the sums
to be raised through "joint agree
ment" with certain states.
The million last referred to is not
part of the national committee
funds, he said, but is for use by
state organizations.
Hays FLASHED often with Senator
Reed, Missouri, democratic member
of the committee and Gov. Coxis
Spokesman in the investigation. Reed
tried to keep out some of Hays
testimony on the grounds that 1t was
hearsay.
He also sharply cross examined
Hays as to his personal knowledge
of facts on which to base his count

Senator Kenyon, chairman Of the
committee, announced that night ses-

Marsh its treasurer, arrived today to at

as the committee can make it.
MANY charges and counter charges

Kenyon.

Representatives James W Good OF
Iowa asked Kenyon to investigate al
legged violations Of the corrupt -prae
tice acts by the democrats.
Good declared that Wilbur Marsh, in
his capacity as treasurer, sent letters to
federal employees, virtually assessing
them for the democratic fund.
Good said he was ready to submit the
letters to the committee, one of them

people before justice Of the. peace in
the township where. the arrest is made:
There are two reasons for this.
First, It is because the justices OF the
peace in Indianapolis. where most Of
these arrests are made, receive salaries
and are paid TO fees. and they are con-
sequently thought less likely to fine the
defendants than the justices of the peace
iii the. outside townships (Irvington, for
instance), who receive no salaries and
are paid fees out of the fines collected.
The<other reason for this Ubiquitous
practice is that it is believed that many
people, if taken before justice of the
peace in the townships where the arrest
is made, would make a defense, but thar
if required to go to a remote court for
trial would avoid doing so by consent
ing to the pillage.

practice. and. If elected prosecuting

The republican prosecuting attorney Is
fee grabber. He has enriched his
office by many unwarranted prosecutions
in remote justice of the peace courts,
which were unlawfully instituted by
irresponsible constables.
Our statute provides that it is the
duty of a constable to .take forthwith
before the nearest justice of the peace
all who violate the law in his presence
and there charge them with such viola
tiOn on oath" Burns r. S. 1914, 954y.)
These HUMAN parasites have made a
practice of arresting people without
warrants for alleged violations of the
automobile tail light law and similar
offenges, and have unlawfully compelled
them to appear before justices of the
peace in other townships. These offend
ers should be taken before 4 justice OF
the peace In the township where the ar
rest is made. The prosecution of these
cases is unwarranted.
Why don't the constables take these

CHICAGO, Aug. 31.-A vigorous
Cox, democratic presidential nomi-
nee, and at his party's alleged meth
DDS of raising campaign. funds,
coupled with a sweeping and EN-
phatic denial of all Cox's charges of
a $4,000, 900 republican slush fund,
was the reply yesterday of VIII II.
Hays, chairman of the republican
national committee, to Cox's attack.
Hays, appearing as the first wit
ness before the Kenyon senate COM
mittee investigating campaign ex
penditures, divided his testimony in
two parts.
The first was a denial as emphatic
as Hays could make 1t of all Cox's
charges in general and in detail.
The second consisted of counter
charges against the democrats.
Hays charged;
That the liquor interests of the
United States are backing Cox and
Roosevelt and are soliciting funds to
help elect them.
That the democrats created ma
chinery to collect a campaign fund
Of $4,000, 900,
(He did not charge that the ma
ehinery functioned. but said it was
made ready to function.)
That the democrats has misused
their control of government offices in
Washington by sending through Of
fetal channels tons" of propaganda

The letter addressed to Cadian Broth
ers, said:
1.-THE organized liquor trade Of New
Jersey has set out to do Its part toward
the election of James NJ. Cox as the
next president Of the United States and
It becomes my duty to call upon you to
help
More than that, we are going to fight
as we never fought fought before to keep
a hirelIng of the Anti-Saloon league out
OF office.
THE nomination Of Gov Cox of Ohio
for the presidency by the democrats 10 a
big victory for our interests and It can
be attributed In a great degree TO the
activities OF our trade organizations In
New Jersey and throughout the nation.
Gov. Cox is a pronounced wet and
he can be relied upon to approve an
amendment to the Volstead act.
And II is now up to out trade organi-
"a atoms TO stand unitedly back Of the
ticket OF Cox and Roosevelt TO roll up
such a majority as viii show convinc-
ingly that the public will be In our favor.
This Is going to be the greatest po-
litical fight in the history OF the United
States.
Money must be had Immediately II
We are to maintain our headquarters md
push the propaganda that is necessary"
Hays also produced what he said was
an Acknowledgement by l. \. Heller Of
Newark. secretary OF the New Jersey
federation Of liquor interests Of con
tribution of 1925 20 the democratic cam
paign fund.
Heller and Carroll Immediately were
subpoenaed by the committee
Hays produced the letter and receipt
after having charged that certain in
terests" were trying to help elect Cox.
He said he was willing TO submit evil
dence concerning these interests
Submit It," said Senator Kenyon.
Hays then read the letter.
Hays declared with great emphasis In
response to queries by Senator Reed that
there Is not. never was and Will not be
Of large means 10 underwrite the cam
paign.'
He also denied that any corporations
had contributed to the g. o. P. and
said he had not heard OF any promises
OF future favors in contributions.
Hays declared "this liquor business is
| bad"
you ought to go into that"
Gov. Cox's charges are false in what
they say and libelous in their purpose.
Hays declared when he took the stand
as the first witness
Frederick Upham. treasurer OF the ma
tionsl committee, also was scheduled TO
testify.
Hays, In a long prepared statement TO
the committee, said the national commit
tees budget for the campaign for this
year called for S3,O79. 03720
THAT sum, or approximately that
will be raised and spent" he said. "and
not $4,000 900, as Gov. Cox charged
THE S3.O00.0O0 does not include" Hays
said, collections for states where there
is a mutual agreement that such col.
leetions for state and national commit
tees shall be done Jointly.
ut is my opinion that the total amount
which has been and will be finally col
lected by the joint money raising or
ganizations for the use Of all state com
mittees in their state elections will Zap
ploximate 100000.
This is no part Of the national com
mittee's fund"
Taking up the various angles of Cox =
charges, Hays said:

use of Ambassador Geddes was dispensed
through British propaganda agents In
this country to create sentiment for the
league of nations.
Senator Kenyon said that because
of the many requests that the com
mittee investigate this and that phase OF
campaign expenditures and collections it
will be necessary for the committee to
lay out a working schedule which will
begin this week.

Hays put into the records articles

Republican fund raising activities, he
said. were Influenced by the reputed slEr

The republican plan for tho, raising oil
