M'KINLEYPAID
own EXPENSES
No Outside Contribu-
tons Accepted, At
torney Says

CHICAGO, ILL.,. July 2s.-CPl-Sen-
ator William b. Mckinley decided to
stand all the expenses Of his fight
for denomination in the recent Illi-
nois primary, Henri J. Green. his
personal attorney, testified today
before the senate campaign funds
committee.
In line with that policy, the SEN
ator, who was defeated for the re-
publican senatorial nomination by
Frank L. Smith. accept no outside
contributions. Green said. 1t was dis
closed yesterday that the campaign
cost Mckinley s350.6l6.72.
Green declared that this method
Of financing the campaign might
seem singular" but that the idea
was that Of the senator in which he
concurrcd. The witness said there
may have been some small sums
spent or services rendered by others,
but that all he had heard OF would
not exceed $4,000
Pardon me-" he added. II under
stood that Mrs. Mccormick was to
have spent some. money for adver-
tising in foreign languages news

don't know"
Chairman Reed turned the inquiry
back to Mckinley donations to char
liable and educational institutions.
"Do you know of man named
Hill being in the state to speak for
the world court?"
"John Wesley HILL" said the wit
ness, and with Reeds help identi-
fled him as chancellor Of Lincoln
memorial university in Tennessee.
"In 1929. said Green. II was di-
reCted 70 have reissued for the benc-
fit Of this school $1,000 in stock h ID
by Senator Mckinley. That is the
only contribution | know of by the
senator to that university.
Hill and Mckinley had been friends
for years, the witness knew, and II
was his impression that Hill came
to Illinois to speak in the recent pri-
mary without getting any money for
it, except his expenses.

Legislature May
AXE Action

DALLAS. Tex. July 2s.-(H-
Ways and means of ousting Mrs.
Miriam A. Ferguson from the gov
ernorship were discussed in many
quarters yesterday and today as del
egates throughout 1.-THE state pre-
pared for Saturdays county con-
vention.
Some political leaders were open
~ demanding that Governor Fergu-
son quit at once in accordance with
her agreement to resign "immedi-
ately" if Attorney General Dan
Moody should lead her oy one vote in
the primary. The latest tabulation
of Saturdays returns gave Moody a
lead of almost 10000 over Mrs.
Ferguson.
Other leaders counseled that Mrs.
Ferguson could not be forced to re-
sign. and that proposed resolutions
asking her resignation would be Of
no avail.
A spirit Of satisfaction over.
Moody's victory softened the views
Of others, who expressed belief
lHbJ NHt ~ NohA%he
with Mrs. Ferguson's resignation at
the close Of the special legislative
session she has called for September
13.
One legislator announced his in
tention to ask the special session to
declare the office of Governor vac
ant. This intention was expressed
by Representative W. A. Williamson
of San Antonio. Williamson said
he believed the anti-Ferguson forces
would be in control Of both branches
of the legislature and that they
could enforce a mandate requiring
Mrs. Frguson 10 step out.
Moody has stated that Mrs. Fergu-
sons announced intention to resign
nj the close Of the special session
did not comply with her agreement
to resign Immediately" At a con-
ference Of his supporters in Austin
yesterday it was said an agreement
was reached to make no move until
after the second primary, and that
perhaps demand would be made to
place Moody's name on the second
primary ballot, even though Mrs.
Ferguson has withdrawn from the
race. in order to take no chances Of
legal complications.
