Ilcnal committee, doesn't ItY' Sen0-
tor Kenyon asked. after reading the
Carroll letter.
Absolutely" Mr.. Moore agreed.
Glow can laws be drafted to stop
:. II don't believe it can be done, but
it is worth trying"
Mr.. Moore hoped the questioning of
the Republican members Of the COM
mlttee was not an attempt to inject a
wet and dry Issue into the Presidential
campaign"
Senator Spencer said he was merely
trying to learn whether the liquor in
terests were contributing to the Cox
campaign fund, and Mr.. Moore said he
was sure they were not
More quota boosting by Republican
workers, whereby the goal set by the
national committee was increased, and
revealed by Charles K. Mavity, former
representative Of the national commit
tee IN West Virginia, and now holding
a similar post in Iowa.
Mr.. Mavity said Iowa's quota was
$4,000 for state purposes and $4,000
for the national campaign, but that
Charles McNider, Mason City, Iowa,
the state ways and means chairman,
apportioned county quotas which to-
tailed $2OO,OOO.
The West Virginia quota, he said,
was $4,000 for national purposes. The
state conducts separate campaign for
its local funds. The witness said he
boosted the national committee's goal
to $55,5oO, dividing it as follows:
Wheeling district, $4,000. With ST.
240 raised; Morgantown, $4,000. with
S1,1o5 raised; Clarksburg, $4,000

Logan County, mountain district, ST.
500, with nothing raised. The total

Money Raised in Twenty-three States
Charles W. Lee, of South Beach,
Conn, told readily from memory de-
tails of the organization work and
quotas in the twenty-three states of
which he has charge as a divisional
director of the Republican campaign
drive.
Mr.. Lee said he had heard a rumor
that the Nonpartisan League had a
campaign fund of $4,0OO0OO in the
Northwest, but he could give no in
formation as to the source of the re-
port. nor how the committee might
learn more about it.
While Mr.. Lee returned to his office
for more papers the committee was
left without witnesses. Mr.. Moore.
Governor Cox's personal representa-
tive, volunteered to take the stand,
and although assured by Senator Ken
yon that 1--WE are through with you" he
resumed his testimony for the fourth
time.
Senator Kenyon objected to Mr..
Moore making political speech" or
reading into the record a stack of
kilograms and letters from all parts
of the country which alleged the Re-
publicans were raising large funds.
The committee accepted a report that
$4,000 was being raised in Honolulu
and promised to investigate it, and
also took letter purporting to have
been written by O. w. Coursey, repre-
sentative Of the Republican National
Treasurer in South Dekota, to G.. H.
Harvey, county chairman at Fort
Pierre. The letter stated that the
South Dakota quota was $4,000, while
Mr.. Moore said that Fred Upham tes-
titled that South Dakota was to raise
but $500.
Chairman Kenyon pointed out that
Mr.. Upham's testimony referred to ma
tional campaign funds only, while the
Coursey letter said the $4,000 was for
national and state campaigns combined.
