White Presents G. 0. P. Letter As Proof That They Would Sell Out United States to Corporations If Harding Is Elected President on Mo- vember 2.
By Associated Press

New York, October 27.--Portions of a circular letter said to have been sent to directors of corporations by an of ficial of the republican national com mittee were made public here tonight by Georgie White. chairman of the democratic national committee, MT. White said the letter tends to prove Governor Cox's charge that republic cans would sell out to the corpora tons" MT. Whites statement follows:
 "A circular letter sent to directors Of corporations by Charles B Warren, chairman of the ways and means con- uiittee of the republican national com mittee. has come to my attention. The contents of this letter will convince all who have any remaining doubt that the republican national committee is prepared to sell out the United States of America to the corporations if Sem atcr Harding is elected This is q grave charge, but it is borne out by the contents of Mir. warreu's letter.
 Under date of October 20, 1920, in addressing directors of corporations, he writes:
 ".Will you, therefore determine promptly what the value of republican success means toyou and your corpor- ate interests. Make your financial pledge accordingly and mail the en- closed card with remittance to the Eetroit office today
 "The signature of MT Warren Is not only printed on this letter but 1t $ signed in ink over the printed name. Che letter is written on the stationery Of the republican ways and means com rittee which bears the name of the committee officials also
 No more sordid document nor one more corroborative of Governor Coxs charge tha, certain corporations are trying to buy an underhold in the gov ernment has come to light in this cam paign.
 There is another phase of MT, War rens letter bearing out the democratic charge of millions to be employed .n m endeayor to elect Senator Harding. Remember. it is dated October 20. 1920, two days after the republican national committee reported an expenditure or ever three millions of dollars. MT Warren writes:
 Through overconfidence, or inertia on the part of the republican business men. a substantial portion of the cam paign expense is still unprovided Tor
 .rhe letter to which I refer Is on ne in my office, and I am prepared 10 sup init 1t to anyone who doubts it's authenticity. It is direct pledge 10 tfe selfish corporations in America oN the chairman of the republican ways and means committee that if they WI invest in Senator Harding's campalgn' President Hardins's administration will see that they are paid royal olVl- dends out of the peoples funds. srWhat can the average citizen ex noct ef an administration sold out n adva nce9"
