Reason for Fund.
"The. reason for setting up special
fund in Washington was a perfectly
simple one. It has been customary for
the National Committee to carry small
account in the Commercial National
Bank to take care Of salaries, rent and
other ordinary expenses of the commit
tee headquarters in Washington, and as
funds are used receipted bills are sent
to me in Cleveland and the account re-
imbursed. This fund may be drawn
upon only by the assistant to the chair
man and myself. 1t was merely for a
matter Of bookkeeping convenience that
a special campaign fund was set up.
Every dollar was expended by check;
every dollar has been accounted for, and
have in my possession all Of the can
celled checks.
readily aScertainable by Senator Nye at
the time he made his statement that
this was a tSlush fund I think the
Senator owes it to himself to the Sem
ate of the United States which he rep
resentS, and to the Republican National
Committee and its officers to make
public apology for his unwarranted
charge"
Nye on Way to Florida.
Senator Nye left washington last
night to go to Miami, Fla, as men,
Der of a Senate Committee looking into
National park projects. He is not ex-
pected to return to Washington until
January 4 or S, 1t was said at his of1ice.
The North Dakota Senator, before he
left Washington, declared that his In
vestigating Committee had subpoenaed
all checks drawn against the special
fund" set up by Treasurer Mutt in the
Commercial National Bank. He planned
to have another meeting of his COM
mittee to go further into the fund on
his return after the Christmas recess.
