chairman of the democratic national
committee told the senate "slush
fund nd"investigating committee today
that he had tentatively fixed $4,000,
600 as the cost of the Cox-Roose

Chairman White testified to the
committee that to date he had col

campaign fund and that he must de-
pend upon the small popular contri-
buttons to provide the remainder Of
its budget which he estimated at
$2,O0O,000.
He painted a picture as to party
activity which was in sharp con-
trast to the republican account as
presented by Chairman Hays and
Treasurer Upham of the G. o. P.

Not Knock Move Out.

Nashville. Tenn, Sept. 1.-The ac
tion of the lower house of the Tel

amendment out of the constitution
Attorney General Thompson de
clared.
With clock-like program, the antis
put through their plan of attempt
ing to undo what was done on Aug
q, when ratification was accom-
plished.
The first step was a motion to ex
punge from the journal OF that day
all reference to the proceedings upon
the suffrage ratification resolutions
After this was carried AZ to 81 with
carried that certified copy of the
resolution the original of which is
III luC HduuS VI INC SCldlC, UG oDl eau

Representative Riddick, floor lead
er of the ratificationists, made the
point of order that the resolution
was out of the hands of the house
and now a part of the federal con
stitution through proclamation of
Secretary of State Colby. He was
overruled lby Speaker Walker.
The house by a viva voc vote
then added a motion to reconsider
its previous action upon the resolu-
tion. Motion was then made and
carried to .non-concur in the action
of the senate in ratifying the ratl-
fication resolution.

it was to be a popular movement
In the face of accommodating evil
dence, he admits now that in a num-
ber of instances, subscriptions were
made running as high as $4,000 but
in the same breath he says that il
was not the fixed policy of the ma

money in amounts exceeding $1,000.
This is absolutely untrue and again
