Protective Tariff association, the
Committee Of American Business Men,
the American Defense society and the
Republican Publicity association,
As for the Barnes book, the Demo
Gratis assert the Republicans are break
ing the law by accepting for this cam
paign effort contributions from cor
p0raiiOns. The senatorial committee
decided to hear more Of Il from Mr.,
Barnes, probably in Pittsburgh.
Provoked into reCliminatiOn, the Re
pubIicans are making various accusa-
lions against their opponents. In the
first place Chairman Hays asserted
the Democrats were planning 10 raise
a fund of Sl000O,O 00-which the lat
ter promptly denied. Then Mr.. Hays
charged that the liquor interests were
actively engaged in supporting the"
campaign of Governor Cox, and he
produced q letter signed by the pres
ident Of the New Jersey Federation
Of Liquor Interests which said the
organization had set out to do its part
toward the election Of Mr.. Cox and
called for assistance financial and 9TH
erwlse The reply Of the Democrats
to this Is that they have received no
contributions from either the vets or
the drys.
More serious, perhaps was the &C
cuSNtOn made before the senator's
that the Democrats we're breaking the
law by assessing federal OtiicehOlders
for campaign money. W. d. Jameson,
director of finances for the Demo,
cratic national committee, was ques-
toned closely CONCERNING this and
partly admitted its truth, hut said the
soliciting letters were sent TO the
homes of the Oliceholders and that he
was soliciting funds from Democrats
as Democrats, not as federal officials.
He said his office had sent ont about
100000 letters Of appeal lie told Of
card index Of 100000 Democrats
with Incomes. But he said the income
estimates were made by Democratic
leaders in The various neighhOrhOods,
not from the income tax reports IN
the department at Washington.
The combined efforts Of Senator's
Reed Spencer Edge and Kenyon
brought our from Mr.. Jameson the
fact that federal officials generally
were solicited; that they we're in
formed Of the exact amount they were
expected to give, and that only those
who were so poorly paid that Mr..
JamiesOn "didnt think II worth while
10 waste a 10-cent special delivery on
a l-cent man" were excepted from the
assessment
Samuel Gompers and his associates
in the management Of the American
Federation Of Labor have finally an
nOunCed themselves in the mat
ter Of the presidential campaign.
The ''nOnpartlsaD political com
mittee" Of the federation has is
sued report on the candidates
for the presidency In which Governor
Cox ia proclaimed stronger cham
piOn Of organized labor than Senator
Harding. Consequently members Of
