NEW ORLEANS, November 25.-
Testimony that Seymour Weiss, treas
urer Of Huey P. Longs political organl-
zation, had given him from $4,000 to
$4,000 to run his campaign for public
service commissioner was made To-Day
by Wade o. Martin, who ran on the
same ticket with Senator John H. Over
ton, before the Senate Subcommittee
investigating the Overton election.
He said that campaign funds were
tribute and that the practice had been
used before, during and after Overton'S
election. He asserted that the contri-
buttons were voluntary, but that as far
as he himself was concerned II any en-
ploye refused to contribute he would
fire him. Contributions by jobholders,
he said, should be regarded in the light
of insurance to protect the job just as
life and fire insurance.
Both Sides Do It."

ness. 1T comes out of our pockets

Mr.. Martin said he was responsible FOL
the use of dummy candidates in his
district and Mr.. Overton had nothing
to do with them.
Says Opponent Forced Man.
He said his opponent used dummies
and he was forced to use them for self
protection but he did not believe in the
dummy device and thought a law should
be passed to prevent it. His dummies
he said, were chosen by Harvey Peltier
co-manager of the Overton campaign.
| Patrick Joseph Whalen, an Overtor
/ election commissioner in New Orleans
said he had contributed 10 per cent oi
one months salary as Dock Board
worker to the Overton campaign to lone
of the boys who was around collecting.
