Tells Senate Investigating Con- mittee That He Has No Evidence
CHARGES TRUE, HE BELIEVES
Chairman Of Democratic National Committee Tells Senators That He Can Not Produce Evidence to Sustain Cox C. O. F. Charges.

Chicago. Sept. l.-George White. cha 'rman of the democratic national committee said on the sta nd today be- fore the senate committee investi- gating campaign expenditures. that he had no evidence to sustain any one of the charges made by Governor Cox, his partys presidential nominee, AS to republican campaign funds and quotas or the alleged desire of con tributors ito have back of them in industrial centers the bayonets of their puppets in office"
 Believes Charges True.
 He told Chairman Kenyon that he believed the charges were true because he had confidence in Governor Cox.
 "I talked with Governor Cox last Sunday for a few minutes said Mr. White. ''I asked him: Are you sure of your ground?
 He said he was. and I told him: 'Yeu are the boss and you run it Willing to Wait for Cox. Pressed by his questioners, Mir. White said he was willing to abide by the judgment of Governor Cox as to ] when the material should be furnished the committed.
 "Is it the idea then that we are to sit here and wait until Governor Cox is ready to come to us?" asked Senator Kenyon.
 .I did not say that" replied MT. White. spencer Questions White. Senator Spencer questioned Mir. White about the relations of w. D. .tl committee and the truth of newspaper | reports that Mir. Jamioson. then demo- cratic financial director had stated last year that ten million dollars would be needed for the democratic campaign fund this year.
 "Is that your judgment?" the | senator asked. H.. a | "It Is not" ''Is it true" Senator Spencer asked. i that you have stated you will not i place any. limit on campaign .contri- ] butions?''
 1 ..I did say that. There is no limit on the size, within the discretion of | the treasurer and myself after con- ! sidering both the size and the source" | 'So far as to what I myself know. no. nothing 1 am not prepared to say I know it myself.
 And you don't know what evil dence the governor has, if he has i any?"
 That is true"
 | White Questioned | Mir White under questioning by | Senator's Spencer and Kenyon said ] the only example of a sinister in- fiuence' backing the republican party | which he knew of personally. was the republican year book being published by William Barnes.
 Barnes Book
 Discussion of the Barnes book dis closed that photographic copies of liplcdges of moral and financial' sup | port to the book signed by prominent eastern men, including the Rocke- Iers had disappeared from the records, in which they were introduced Mon day. \ heated clash between Senator Reed and Senator Kenyon followed when Senator Reed insisted on an investigation of the disappearance of the papers.
 Do you think the Barnes book IS a more sinister influence than the cir culation through country newspapers of propaganda favoring the leagne of | nations such as this story Uncle sam of Freedom Ridge" and having it. paid for by particular political party and having the man who reads it not know that it is political propa- Eanda. Which is the more sinister?' Senator Kenyon asked when quiet was restored 'I don't apologize for
 wanting to circulate that story." MT. White rejained. The editor of the ] paper is responsible if he uses it. He isn't paid to print it.
 The Barnes book shows right on
 its face who is behind 1t but your
 Uncle sam of Freedom Ridge"
 wouldn't show who paid for it. Which do you think is the more sinister?''
