 Confuse Names

Dupuy, former chairman of the board of directors of that company, than he was concerning campaign expenditures. He told the committee that the largest contributor to the Palmer campaign was MT. J Guffey. who gave $10.000. and who was Identified as a prominent oil man.
 This name became confused with that of Col. James McClurg Guffey, former democratic national committee man from Pennsylvania, and Mir Car lin said afterwards that Colonel Guffey was the man he had in mind.

  to the Red Cross during the war;" and added that he ''intended to advance as much more as he felt would be proper"
