M. Hadley's letter said in pad.

Mr.. Hadley's letter said in part
II am surprised that anyone should
have been surprised at the disclosure
of the fact that money was secured
by the Leaders Of the Morse-Babler
crowd for which they were to deliver
the Missouri delegation at the national
convention. Many Of these men have
been engaged in these same prac-
tees for years.
In 1908, they received money, G
was told that the amount was SIS 000)
to deliver the delegation to Senator
Fairbanks and then when they found
the sentiment was strong for Taft,
they laid down on Fairbanks, but
kept his money.
"In 1912, they made the fight for
the Taft delegates. against Colonel
Roosevelt, and l understood at the
time they secured from the Taft or
ganization. $4,000 for this purpose
IN 1916, they tried to organize and
sell the Missouri delegation to Sena-
tor Weeks, rs this year they tried To
sell the delegation to Governor Low
den
1T was common knowledge in poll
teal circles that they were handling
Weeks money. My friends opposed
and defeated this crowd in the state
convention and afterwards l publicly
denounced their purpose to huckster
the delegation 10 Senator Weeks
Through the publicity thus inaugural
ed. q number OF delegates who had
received and been elected through
Weeks money refused TO vote for
him and he received only slight sup
port from the delegation. It has
peen very evident to any enc at all
familiar with Missouri politics that
from 1914. when ]. L. Babler was
elected chairman Of the state commit
tee. that he and f. L. Morse have
worked together on all party matters
and that they have endeavored to in
sure their control Of the party organi'
zation by the use OF money"
The letter of former Governor Had
