Former Oklahoma Bandit
Says Harding's Nominal

Man
"COST ME- A MILLION"
Quotes Jake HamOn as Saying
That He Would be Made
Secretary of Interior
cost ME- A MILLION"

Washington, Mar. 27.-(By the A..
I PO-Thes story about Il big money
deal at the Chicago Republican con-
vention in 1920 was repeated with
many dashes of color before the oil
committee today by AL Jennings, who
became famous years ago as train
robber and since has turned evangel-
ist and politician.
Jennings said he was passing on
what had been told him by Jake
Hamon, the Oklahoma Republican ma
tional committeeman who was killed
by Clara Smith Hamon late in 1920.
Briefly lannon's story as related by
Jennings on the stand today was as
follows:
That Hamon had "nominated' War
Y rem G. Harding for the presidency
and that it had cost him (HaCon)
$1,OOO,OO0.
That the cost Of carrying Oklahoma
for Harding had been $5OO,000.
That Hamon had paid Harry M.
Daugherty $25,OO0; Senator Boise
Penrose of Pennsylvania $25O,O00,
and Will H. Hays, chairman of the
Republican national committee, $685.
600.
That Hamon was to become Secre-
tarv of the Interior and share in the
public lands and expected with the
money he would make to become
President.
Had Known Him
Jennings said he had known Hamon
~f l.
with him to the Chicago convention.
"We went to a room j.. one Of the
hotels, CONTINUED the witness. "He
told me Harding would be nominated
b. The next day and that it had cost
lin million dollars. He said he
lad paid $250,O00 to Boise Penrose
md in a conversation it was brought
,ut in some way,-I will not be per-
ectly clear about it-that it was
greed by Mr.. Daugherty, Will! H.
lays and he named somebody else
rom Ohio, that he would be Secre-
.ary of the Interior.
"HElsaid it had all been settled.
Ie said Mr. Daugherty was at first
n favor of Senator Fall for the posi-
ion but that he had bought them all
ver but that it had cost him a lot
f money to do it. That it about all
know Of it."
Information Wrong
"I understand that Mr.. Hamon told
ou that in the makeup of the cab
net of Mr.. Harding" said Senator
"pencer, Republican, Missouri, "that
tr.~Daugherty was in favor of Mr..
ALL"
ayes, but that it had been all ar
anged that he (Mr. Hamon) was to
Secretary of the Interior"
"Do you think all the information
gave you turned out with the some
.egree of correctness as that?"
"That was the whole deal and that
yas what he expected to get in on"
Replying to inquiries from Sena-
or Dill, Democrat, Washington, Jen-
ings said:
"He (Hamon) wanted me to head
me Of his companies. He said the
Democrats had not left much Of the
,ublic land but that he would get
he rest of it,"
'Dld ne speak ABOUT the OIL re-
serves?'
"He said public lands-nothing
hat can remember much about the
Ill reserves. He said that money had
,een very potent. in Washington as
veil as outlying districts of the Unit
d States. have talked with people
Oklahoma about lannon's expec-
ations and I do not think he kept it

RECONSTRUCTION

A man came into q Nebraska bank
In the spring of 1879 and asked for
financial assistance. His statement
prepared In the Service Department
showed be was about bankrupt: that
be owed 1890 moro than his equip
ment was worth. He had farm rent
ed for the year. Further credit had
been refused him in bin own bank and
he was about ready to quit and apply
the proceeds from the sale OF his
equipment to his debts
The banks Service Man went with
him TO his farm and after an exAmi-
nation decided that Il the farmer had
= half dozen cows and ten brood sows
be would probably be kbie to use bis
pasture and intended corn crop to adj
vantage. The bank finally loaned him
$1,000 for this purpose and took a
chattel mortgage on the stock pur-
chased as its security. Ths bank ad-
mit4ed that ordinarily loan should
not be made IKE that. but the farm
was close to town and the stock could
readily be resoId.
When the end OF the year came
around tho. exact records showed that
the family had been well maintained
and on half OF the cream checks: the
other half had been applied on his
$3.50 note at the bank. covering the
loan for the cows. Five days before
the year was up the principal and In
terest on the note were entirely paid
by crea mchecks, The pigs Afforded
q net gain OF Sl.400 after all expenses
were paid
La addition to this financial gain.
the farmer was taught the value Of =
good COW and the necessity OF keep
ing record OF his operations to know
which farm operations are profitable.
The Farm Service Department Of the
bank was able to teach this man
things he had never dreamed about
1t ID worth the effort the banks would
be called upon to make II each bank
could but turn one broken. discour-
aged farmer into prosperous one
