CHICAGO. Sept. 7-Edmond II.
Moore, as personal representative OF
Governor Cox, today presented to the
Senate committee investigating cam
paiSn expenditures. part of the docu-
ments and information upon which
the Democratic presidential candidate
based his charges OF Republican
plan TO raise campaign fund OF si5,-
100000. The testimony was not en-
ished, but its presentation caused
stormy session of the committee.
Senatorial traditions as to courtesy
were strained to the breaking point
on several occasions, as Republican
and Democratic members wranEled
over tn value of the evidence, and
at one stage, just before adjournment,
Mr.. Moore started to leave the stand.
exclaiming that Senator Spencer, Re-
publican, OF Missouri, had intimated
forgery by questioning the authentic
ity OF n circular letter which no had
offered as furnishing n lead to fur
ther information.
NO man. even though no be
United States Senator. can make such
n charge as that against me-" said
Mr.. Moore.
"DisErnccfui," Says Reed.
Senator SpenceTs disclaimer rs,
such n charge brought his Democrftj.
colleague. Senator Reed. to his feo.
with protest against 'bullyrag-
ging." Ilc said tho entire incident
was "dissracefu" and announced that
he proposed to SEQ that tho witness
was treated like a gentleman.
This hot exchange was tho climax
to several similar occurrences, and not
even Chairman Kenyon's plaint that
he could not keep peace in Mis-
souri," served to settle the atmos-
phere.
II don't want peace: I am prepar-
Ing for war declared Senator Reed.
Considerable OF Mr.. Moore's late
testimony consisted OF information
CLEANED from kilograms received from
Democratic State chairmen in West
ern States. He told Senator Kenyon
he had sent for some of this infor-
nation and that other parts OF It had
been volunteered.
Don't you expect to give US other
leads besides kilograms from Demo-
cratic State chairmen?" asked Sena-
tor Kenyon.
Mr.. Moore said the messages were
intended merely to suggest avenues OF
Inquiry, and he said the paid en-
ployes of the Republican Nationt
Committee" ought to be able TO .',..-
nish the committee with the facts.
Prosecute the Perjurers.
''The object is to get those men on
the stand here, and If they lie prose-
cute them." declared Mr.. Moore.
You must expect to keep the At
torney-General busy" suggested Sem
ator Kenyon. "of course. IL perjury
is committed before this committee,
the guilty should be punished"
Senator Kenyon continued that in
newspaper interviews. Mr.. Moore had
criticized the work of the commit
tee and added:
Governor Cox wired Senator Reed
that he would produce tho evidence
and leads to support his charges. But
through you he sends none OF this
evidence, and you start line Of evil
dence which it would take us a year
TO run down."
Senator" replied Mr.. Moore. Gov
crnor Cox had the official bulletins
OF the Republican committee showing
that certain quotas existed and> that
widespread plans were being car
ried out to collect Aiem. Yet. tho
Republican witnesses get on the
stand here and tell US these bulletins
were only BULL Then he had
copy OF 1t that no had every reason
to believe was a true quota list, The
day before the list was published, the
Republicans said there were only four
copies OF it in existence. Now they
testify that the list never existed.
1t is the same way with form 10i'
and we believe we have got to get
this evidence IL the committee really
wants IT."
