BY SENSATIONAL CHARGE

show Total Fund Over
SI5,OO0,OO0

Mosque of this city, made public
the evidence in support of his charge
that the, Republican leaders have
conspired to purchase the presidency
of the United States.
Producing document after docu-
ment which had been distributed
from Republican headquarters.
some of which showed on their face
that they had been intended only
for the secret reading of the inner

had been addressed by National

sheets had been distributed calling
for the raising Of over SS,O00,000

bulletins and kilograms coming
from the office of the treasurer of
the Republican national committee
that in nearly every part Of the
Union-in cities and states which
found no mention in this official
statement of the expected sums to
be raised, an equally aggressive
campaign had been carried on
among business men and that it -ha
been successful.
A capacity audience at Syria Mos
que said to have $500 seats, cheer
ed Gov. Cox's address. The ap-
plause was heightened by tin horns,
hung at each seat, which screeched
their approval Of the governors
statement.

dress humorous and sarcastic ref
erences to the reports of Republican
subscriptions, and he laughed with
the crowd at his thrusts.

the work had been done, he quoted
