campaign. The selection OF Mr. king
uld not originate with me. knew
Mr, King but slightly. NV last con-
Sact with him had been in 1912, when
We We're political opponents.
In my judgment, Paul King is
man OF the highest character and
sternng integrity and when he had
poeh selected a manager of the sena-
sorlal campaign, which was done
without the slightest knowledge on
my part, he insisted that before he
would even accept, he should and
must learn for himself because Of
our differences in 1912, whether or
not his management would be en-
tirely acceptable to me.
HE came to New York and we
had brief interview. We did not
discuss even indirectly. detail of
the campaign. / recall that during
the conversation Mr. King, in answer
to a question as to how much ii had
cost the friends of Senator Town
send, whose campaign Mr.. King had
managed. said it had cost approx
mately $4,000 and added that in view
of the situation then existing in
Michigan, he thought it would cost
my friends approximately $4,000 to
make a successful campaign. This
is the only amount of money which,
directly or indirectly. l ever heard
mentioned in connection with the
senatorial campaign in Michigan un-
til after the primary election and the
report of the committee was filed.

or indirectly, one single dollar in the
campaign for senator in Michigan in
1918, nor did know of the contribu-
tons made until afterward. The two
