ton fairly good and a chance to win.
Sincerely,
WALTER G.. HooKE.
The testimony continued with Senator
johnson, of Indiana, doing the question
ng for the committee of the senate in
lobbying association:
Who is Mr.. Thiele?
Mr.. Curran. He has an organiza-
ton against prohibition, whose work
is confined entirely to the state OF IL
linois. He lives in Chicago.
Senator Robinson, of Indiana He
refers to the effecting of a change in
six votes. am wondering how you
worked efficiently to effect a change
in six votes.
Mr.. Curran. Well, will tell you one
way, and that was done, believe, at
that time, and that is to stir up sem
timent back home. Where there are
people in a district who are for or
against measure they are busy all
the time the legislature is in session,
with the people in those districts
bringing out that sentiment so it will
be conveyed to the representative
while he is in the legislature, which to
my mind is a pretty healthy thing to
do. 8.
Senator Robinson, of Indiana Well,
here is copy of letter dated April
2, which is this same month, three or
four weeks ago, or less, to Mr.. Amiel
Thiele, los Munroe street, Chicago.
Ill
Mr.. Curran. Pardon me, senator; is
that this year or last year?
Senator Robinson, of Indiana. This
year, April 2. 1t reads:
Replying to your telegram, CASH
ier's draft for $3.50 will be mailed to
Beckington tonight or first thing to-
morrow morning"
Mr.. Curran. Oh, know who it is.
Senator Robinson, of Indiana. Well,
who is Mr.. Beckihgton?
Mr.. Curran. Well, don't know eX-
actly, but I know he is interested in
the campaign for reelection of man
named Green, for reelection to, I
think the Illinois assembly. Not for
reelection. 1t had to do with the re-
cent primaries, the Illinois primaries.
Senator Robinson, of Indiana. Was
Beckington candidate?
MI. OQIIdI1. NO, L OOIl u GIllIlk So.
Senator Robinson, of Indiana. In
the primaries?
Mr.. Curran. Well, he may have
been, but I don't think so, Becking-
ton? don't think so.
Senator Robinson, of Indiana. did
not see this, or would have brought
it into the record before I think this
may answer. This is dated April 2,
and is telegram signed E. Thiele,
addressed to the Association Against
the Prohibition Amendment, 81 East
Fortieth street. 1t reads:
Mr. Hooke promised aid to Leroy
Green campaign. r. E. Beckington,
attorney, 1875 south State street.,
Rockford, was named as campaign
treasurer. Nothing received. If I'M
willing to contribute wire at once.
Primary Tuesday"
That is signed "E. Thiele."
That same day you evidently sent
forth the draft in the sum that had
been suggested?
Mr. .Curran. Yes.
Senator Robinson, of Indiana Here
is a report from Mr.. Hooke to Mr..
Curran, dated February 3, of this
year. quote from it:

general conclusions regarding the sit
