Senate campaign fund investigating
committee today.
L. L. Sheppard, president OF the

600 was examined by Weymouth
Kirkland attorney for the Repub-
| ucan national committee.
Sheppard said he had a room at
the La Follette-Wheeler headquar-
tiers here and represented seventeen
allied railroad organizations, with to-
tai mmbership of 100000.
In reply to Kirkland, Sheppard
said no coercion was used to make
members contribute or support La
Toilette. kirkland tried and failed
to get into the record a letter he
said was written by Sheppard to
Fred Stewart of Oakland, Cal. al
legged to show coercion. Borah held
that the letter was not properly
identified.

Borah TO protect Sheppard from the
insinuatios and influences" of Kirk
land.
Sheppard said that the cost Of
maintaining the thirty men work
ing in and out Of the office was de
frayed from the organization pro
tective fund" To this fund, all
members contributed 50 per year. 1t

strikes, benefits and wage hear
lnss," he explained.
In answer TO question by Ship
etead. Sheppard said the general
campaign budget Of the Railroad
Conductors was between $50, 600 and
$4,000
Railroad men are supporting men
from all parties, Sheppard said.
These men are satisfactory to the
railroad The reason the railroad
organizations are supporting the in
dependent national ticket is because
the actions Of the other two parties
are not satisfactory to labor. he
testified.

publican State central committee Of
Illinois, then took the stand. Smith
said the committee had collected
$4,000. The sum is being expended
for State purposes and all con
tributtons were voluntary, Smith
said.

william Jennings Bryan in an ad-
dress before more than 10000 per-
sons at Cadle Tabernacle Wednes~
day night voiced a plea for progress
sive unity against a common foe
Coolidge and reactionism.
The Commoner, who was given a
rousing ovation, has lost none of his
orator, and with satire, humor,
ridicule and tongue flashing scored
the Republican party, its record and
candidates Coolidge and Dawes.
you don't hear any pointing
with pride this year from Repub-
lican orators. They do not point
with pride nor call attention to past
records. Their virtues are con-
cealed by a mountain range OF cor
ruption which you can't look over"
he said.
No Pointing With Pride
Even Coolidge doesn't point with
pride nor mention Harding in his ac-
ceptance speech. If there is any
body under obligation to mention his
predecessor, 1t is Calvin Coolidge.
There could be only two reasons
for thus failing to mention the man
who came into the presidency by the
biggest majority ever given a Presi-
dent. Either his Administration
was a complete failure and mention
was not justified. or Coolidge is so
timid or SO cautious he feels that
mention of the Harding record will
hurt him"
At this 5Incture some one in the
audience yelled, "Hurrah for Hard
ing" Bryan smiled, waited a mo-
ment and asked. Are there any
more"
When no more hurrahs came. the
audience broke into yells and hur-
rahs for Davis and Bryan.
He admitted he opposed Davis in
the convention because he was afraid
he was tainted with his wall Street
connections.
Pleased With Davis
81 talked to him after his nomina-
ton and found he had passed
through fire and came out without
even the smell Of smoke on his gar
ments. His speech OF acceptance
was as progressive as even I could
write" Bryan said,
Bryan was introduced by Michael
Z. Foley. who paid a glowing tribute
to Bryan. the late Senator Kern Or.
Carleton b. McCulIoch. Democratic
candidate for Governor, and pleaded
for the entire Democratic State and
national tickets.
John ". Kern. Democratic Candi-
date for reporter Of the Supreme
Court. introduced Bryan. kern's
father was a candidate for vice pres
ident with Bryan IN 1905. Kern re-
called memories Of the past Of the
two leaders of Democracy, and in
troduced the commoner as the
greatest moral force in the Nation
today.
Bryan in answering Kern declared
If the people were indebted to him
for anything, a vote for Kern would
pay the bill and he would give a re
ceipt in full.
