road commission, who was home sick
in bed. While there he persuaded AL
lison Maytield to sign his permit for
one we'll, and later secured the sec
ond signature, as it was necessary TO
gain the signatures of two out OF
three members of the commission.
On Own Initiative
Mr.. Peddy's attorneys tried their
best to get the witness to say that he
got his permit the same day he went
to Austin after it, but Hunter denied
this and explained to the committee
that he did not get it for several days
later, when it came to him by mail.
He denied showing his permit on the
train going home from Austin, be-
cause he did not have it at the time.
He also said that he went to see Al
lison Mayfield, chairman of the COM
mission, on his own initiative, and
that Earle B. Mayfield had no knowl-
edge or made no suggestion OF any
such move on his part.
On cross examination, Mr.. Hunter
said it was a common practice in
Texas for lawyers to get together,
raise sum of money and help elect
men to office they wanted elected,
even to judges, because no candidate
could afford to bear all of his ex-
penses. They just go ahead and han
die the financing of such campaigns
without letting the candidate know
anything about it.
Witness said that he had support
ed Senator Mayfield for every race
he had ever made in his life.
G. Clint Wood Heard
@. Clint Wood, another oil producer
of Wichita Falls, Texas, said he had
met John G. Towns, of Houston, in
the campaign of 1922. When Towns
began to talk about raising money
for Senator Mayfield's campaign, the
witness said:
You're not talking to me. I did
not support Maytield in the first pri-
mary and I'll not contribute"
In the run-of with Governor Fer
guson, Mr.. Wood testified that he did
support Maytield and that he con-
tributed S25 to the local campaign
in his home town, saying that a 10
cal committee had hired a band, had
printing and advertising done, and
that he gave S25 to help out.
i. p. Boone TeStifies
I. p. Boone, county attorney at
Wichita falls, on the stand said he
was acquainted with Tom F. Hunter.
He, too, sought a permit from the
Texas railroad commission in behalf
of the I. and p. railroad company to
drill we'll or wells on the company's
right-of-way at Mexia, Texas. He
told about Mayfield talking to Tom
Hunter and himself about how he
(Boone) stood on his candidacy. He
said that Mayfield said Hunter was
one of his ardent supporters but moth
ing was said about campaign contri-
buttons.
The subcommittee then went into
executive session to determine about
how much hearsay testimony the com.
mittee should permit being given
objection having been made by the
Mayfield attorneys to so much of it
from Peddy witnesses. Up to date
the Peddy people have not been able
to connect Senator Mayfeld up with
large campaign contributions or with
having any knowledge of what his
Texas friends were doing in that line
Witnesses have done a lot of talking
about big amounts being spent but
have been unable to show any facts tc
date that substantiate it.
