Reviewing the results Of the eau
paigp. Mr.. Upham said
Hitherto the East has always paid
the bills for both parties. But up to
dete two thirds of our funds have come
from what New York considers the
y West. That fact, / think, is a pretty
complete argument that we are already
getting away from what is called Wall
street influence and about which we
have heard SO much here
Mr.. Upham agreed absolutely" with
eSenator Pomerene that the quotas sent
from his office were "by no means thr
limit of the receipts and expenditure
which may be made through the stat
political machinery in New York an
other states"
Senator Pomerene asked Mr.. Upha
TO produce detailed figures showing a.
division OF the budget for various item
but the witness objected on the grounn
that IL would be unfair to force the
Republican party to reveal its campaign
Moore Sides with Upham
Senator Pomerene insisted his de-
mand was fair and pointed out the Re-
publican members of the committee
the Democrats. Edmond II. Moore.
