BRITAIN CONTRIBUTES TO cox
Congressman Claims England has
Put In $87, 500.

Chicago, August discharges that
the British government had helped
and would further help finance the
democratic national campaign were
made yesterday in a statement by
Congressman Fred A. Britten of the
Ninth Illinois district. the near north
side. The statement given out at re-
publican national headquarters in
the Auditorium hotel, declared the
facts concerning the British contri-
bHtion would be brought out in the
Investigation now being conducted by
the senatorial committee headed by
Senator Kenyon, of Iowa.
"The pending Investigation will
show" his statement says, that
the British parliament recently ap-
propriated sS7,500 In favor of the
British ambassador ut Washington
for entertainment purposes" and
and that this fund has already found
It's way to the democratic national
committee. where 1t will no doubt b,
followed by ten times that amount,
should 1t be made evident that this
new disciple of Wilson can win with
money rather than III honest issues"
The rest OF the statement follows;
1.-THE senate committee investigat-
ing campaign funds, which has just
called before it the respective chair.
men and treasurers Of both national
parties will prove beyond doubt
that the repeated assertions of Gov
ernor Gov about a s1i,000,000 republi-
can fund are without foundation and
that the governor is plhying peanut
politics far beneath the dignity of the
office to which he as!oires.
With his failure to- impress the
public seriously. on his pro-British
league of nations Inheritance from
President Wilson, and observing, the
complete lack Of public enthusiasm
over his promises OF future economy
in the face of past democratic raids
on the national treasury, Governor
Cox is hard pressed for q real issue
In his campaign for votes and this
fact alone accounts for his silly at.
titude, SO displeasi1lg to democratic
leaders who know and observe the
finer points Of the game.
Realizing the impossibilty of a
rousing inspiration for their acrobatic
candidate. local democratic bosses
are already forsakirg the head Of the
ticket In an attempt to save a few city
and county offices out OF what now
apbears to be complete wreck on
election day because of the juvenile
campaign IDEAS of heir leader.
II predict Governor Cox will not
accept the invitation OF the senatorial
committee, and that he will subse-
#quentiy be subpoen.ied to appear be-
fore it. when the country will be
treated with the spectacle of q
squirming,, sidestepl,ing, artful presi-
Dental candidate, unable to substan-
tiate his public utterances,'
Senator Kenyon, chairman of the
committee, was the only member, who
was in the city vest erday. He visited
republican national headquarters, but
left for Iowa before the statement by
Congressman Britt'an was issued, so
he could not comment upon it or
say whether the congressman would
be called as a witness before the In
vestigating committee.
