VOTES BOUGHT
 IN PITTSBURGH
(Continued From Page 1.)

by Senator Reed, democrat, Mis- souri, the committee chairman, to prepare a statement of all money spent for newspaper and billboard advertising and of county and head quarters expenses. He was asked to designate which of the news papers carrying Pinchot advertising were wet, and which were dry.
 The governor did not appoint the election commissioners, the witness said, but did name registration boards in Allegheny and other counties, and these boards had the power to purge the election lists Of illegal registrations.
 McGovern Charges Frauds
 C. c. McGovern, western Penn sylvania manager for Governor Pinchot in his senatorial campaign. told the campaign Investigating committee that the registra ton commissioners of Pittsburgh struck the names of some $50 persons from the eelction lists on evidence of fraud.
 McGovern said the commission found that 2,5Q0 persons were il- legally registered, having presented false tax receptS.
 He said registration lists in Pitts burgh were regularly padded" but there had been less of it this year than before.
 Hundreds had been arrested in Pittsburgh for fraudulent registra- tion, he added, but no one imprison- ed. The district attorney Of Ale gheny county, he said, was county chairman Of the republican party
 Whom did he support?" asked Reed.
 Senator Pepper" was the reply
 McGovern said he had presented IS bills 10 the legislature to tighten up the corrupt practices act. but that they had been defeated legally through the influences of Ware"
 The Ware people" had ten watchers to each of the 1,4l4 dis tricts in the state, McGovern said. at $l0 a day each. He estimated the total cost of the Ware and Pepper watchers in Allegheny county at $400,0OO.
 The whole election system in AL legheny county. McGovern declared. ''ic J h tn nrda Fn |, works eXcellently!" He said that of l3S,000 voters registered in that county, only about 4.O0O were demo- crats.
 That is an appalling statement" said Reed. No wonder you have corruption. Having cleaned up the democrats there, you have taken to robbing each other"
 The Pepper organization. Me Govern estimated. had 3,530 paid watchers in Allegheny county.
 The committee did some rapid calculating, and Chairman Reed said the total cost of watchers for Pep Der and Ware in Allegheny county must have been $49I,g0O.
 Governor Pinchot had no paid watchers in that county Me Govern saiG. Governor Pinchot did not want a spoils campaign"
 The witness said that the family with the largest number Of voters Was given the preference of being watchers.
