New York, Aug. 26.--It was
stated at republican national head
quarters here today that Will HI.
Hays. national chairman, will give
some startling figures regarding
democratic campaign funds in Cht-
cago next Monday when he testifies
before the senate committee inves-
tigating presidential campaign ex-
penditures.
Although none of the party's
leaders would state the exact ma
ture of the facts to be presented by
Mr.. Hays, the impression given was
that they would deal with sums
raised by the democrats since 1916,
greater than the republicans have
raised in the same period"
II will try to confine the senate
attention to the funda-
mentals of Governor Cox's charges

The first setback was encor

the payment of about
$4,000 to the Salem district. This
had been presented with
other county items and had been
allowed by the county court.
However the county court had
laid the needed school items and
the $4,000 Silverton armory item

these in a special" s4s,000 levy.
