Did you have any advice to that effect?"
 'l talked to one or two members of the civil service commission"
 Did they tell you it would not?"
 No, they would not commit them selves.
 Senator Kenyon questioned MT. Jamieson about the collection of funds by the Iowa Democratic club and re- ferred to the letter from I. w. w.
 Dreamer, secretary of the club. to
 Miss Clara Boehle, postmistress at Norway, Iowa.
 The chairman brought out that Will bur w. Marsh Democratic national
 treasurer, and E. T. Meredith, secre- tary of agriculture, were directors of the club.
 Reading from the letter Senator Kenyon quoted: 'In order to com ply with all old fashioned law, l am sending this under a special delivery stamp"
 The letter said the club had given | $13.000 to the Democratic national committee while Jamieson said his | figures showed but S5000 received. MT. Marsh interrupted to say that | the figures in the letter might be correct and in the exchange with Senator Kenyon which followed, de- | clared that MT. Jamieson was being | "cowed by the great senator from my | state" and that the witness was ''in- timidated."
 Senator Kenyon asked MT. Marsh about the letter and the treasurer piled that it was a very bad letter written by an inexperienced boy but out of all the hundreds of thousands of letters we sent you are only. able | to find two or three to which you knight take exception"
 Mr. Jamieson denied ever having said he planned to raise from five to | ten millions for the Democratic presidential campaign. Senator Kenyon read the interview which quoted the witness as saying | he planned to get one million contri- butors to give five or ten dollars ! each; planned to have 1000 employees | in his financial department; would I send out $500 letters and would spend | more money for two cent postage | stamps alone than had been spent in | any previous Democratic presidential | campaign.
 Mir. Jamieson replied he had never | said anything about the amount of | money he intended to raise, but had | said he had wanted to get an army | of contributors and had, in fact, ob- | tained about 300,000. Senator Kenyon asked if he expect | ed to get five or ten dollars from | each of the 300,0OO but Mir. Jamieson | reiterated no amount had been fixed. Senator Kenyon introduced copies
 of various form letters sent out by
 MT. Jamieson asking the recipients | to contribute amounts ranging from
 S30 to $500. One pamphlet accom- panying a letter, said several million
 names were on the Democratic mail ing list.
 Senator Reed interrupted to ask what Homer Cummings, former Dem ocratic national chairman, gave to
 the campaign and learned MT. Cum mings' check for 5000.
 Two hundred letters were sent to other men with incomes ranging from $250,000 to $1,000,000 asking them to duplicate MT. Cummings gift. MT. Jamieson said, but only six or eight responded.
 Senator Kenyon asked about news
 paper reports that MT. Jamieson had
 met Bernard Baruch and Thomas Chadbourne in New York and that ! they had rushed to the financial
 rescue of the Democratic presiden- tial nominee"
 The witness denied having met
 either man for several weeks. | Bernard Baruch was one of the
 largest contributors to the 1916 cam
 paign, was he not?" Senator Edge
 asked. ..y 5f-T ES
 ''The second largest. befeye.

 son replied.
 "How about Cleveland H. Dodge?"
 Senator Kenyon asked. What did
 he give?" .t - f;i
