PROOF Of GREAT
COP. SLUSH FUND
l-ists Cities Which Were
Called on for Contribu-
tons, Atlanta Among
Them, in Pittsburg Speech


ers to deny the figures quoted at
Pittsburg last night in support of
| his charge that the G. o. P. cam
paign fund goal is SIS, 100000 will be
| met by additional revelations"
Governor Cox said today.
He indicated his next move would
| be to give the names of some of
the heaviest contributors to the Re-
| publican fund, and to attempt to
prove his assertion that the $1,000
limit announced by Senator Harding
is being evaded.
Democratic leaders are confident
that Governor Cox has wrecked the
| financial plans of the Republicans,
| George White, chairman Of the Dem
| ocratic national committee, said
when he met the governor this
| morning
In his speech in Pittsburg last
| night, Governor Cox read a list of
fifty-one cities in twenty-six states
to which he claimed the Re-
publ1cans had assigned quotas to-
falling $8,145,00O. Then he read
paragraph after paragraph from
the Official Bulletin" which he
said was a confidential publication
which was issued by the office of
Fred w. Upham, treasurer OF the
Republican national committee
These quotations showed that cam
paigns are being made in scores of
states and that quotas in addition
to those of the 81 cities have been
assigned His conclusion was that
those quotas as mentioned in the
bulletins, would send the total con.
siderably above $15,OOO,O00.
Governor Cox held up copies of
the bulletins before the crowd but
did not reveal how they came into
his possession. The big crowd made
the hall resound with cheers when
Governor Cox challenged Will Hays
to deny the correctness of the
quotas he mentioned.
Senator Harding was brought into

read, what he said was a message
from him in the Official Bulletin"
1t praised the work of the financial
organization.
The greatest applause came when
1 Governor Cox read this paragraph
which he said he found in one -is-,~
sue of the bulletin;
Harding and Coolidge have the
confidence of the country, but boys.

enough to hold the weight of the ma
ton, but boys, get the money"
81 Cities Represented
Governor Cox's data consisted al
most entirely of matter taken from
| the official bulletin OF Fred w. Up
ham, of Chicago, treasurer of the
| Republican national committee, but
his chief exhibit was type ritten
list purporting to show Republican
one principal cities in twentyseven
states and aggregating $S,145,GO0.
Names of local subscribers, Gov
ernor Cox said, were ordered kept
secret: These, quotas, given as 81
900 for Chicago, 100000 for Phila-
delphia and ranging down to $4,000
! for smaller cities like Albany, N. ",
and Atlanta, Ga, were said by Gov
about the middle of July.
That Senator Harding, his Kepub-
lican opponent, was acquainted
| with the details" of the quota plan
and that it was also approved by
| publican national committee, was
charged by the Depocratic candi-
| date.
From subsequent issues of the
| official bulletin Governor Cox quot
ed many reports from Republican
| reporting going lover the top" and
| in excess of the, alleged quotas.

| blessings"
! The governor. charged that type
| written sheets bearing the fifty-one
/ cities quotas were distributed to
one of the alleged quota lists, but
| did not, state how or where 1t was
| acquired The quota plan, he said,
was carried out like that of the lib
| erty loan campaigns.
That the reputed attempt to raise
twenty seven of the forty eight
states is fair evidence that the TO
| tai national fund will be much larg-
er, was, declared by Governor Cox,
prominent on the Republican ways
and means committee and that the
| raising of funds was on a business
craftsmanship" basis.
