KiIgore Will Demand
Proof Before Hearinu
Charges on Wi||kie
BY the Associated Press.

Prospective witnesses on a reso-
luton asking an investigation OF
irregularities" at the 1910 Repub-
lican convention got notice today
from Senator Kilgore, Democrat, OF
West Virginia to document their
charges if they expect to be heard
publicly by a Senate Elections sub
committee.
The subcommittee which Senator
kilgore heads will call Senator
LANCER. Republican, of North Da-
kota, author of the resolution, be-
fore 1t early in January to learn
the basis for his resolution which
recited charges made by C. Nelson
Sparks, former Mayor of Akron,
Ohio, that attempts were made by
supporters of Wendell L. Willkie to
buy" votes in the party meeting.
Willkie Willing to Appear.
Both Mr.. Sparks and Mr.. Willkie
have signifled their willingness to
appear if the committee decides
after hearing Senator LANCER that
it ought to take testimony before
recommending to the full committee
either rejection or approval of the
resolution.
Mr.. Willkie, who first called the
Sparks charges "amusingly reck-
less" later said he would be glad to
appear and undergo cross-examina-
ton.
Harry L. Hopkins, presidential ad-
wiser, meanwhile denied having
written a letter predicting that Mr..
Willkie would be the Republican
nominee for President next year
Mr.. Sparks quoted such a letter in
his book, "One Man-Wendell Will
kie," and said he had the original
copy.
Senator Kilgore told a reporter
that, as far as he is concerned, he
wants no testimony given at pub
lie hearing that has not already
been outlined to the committee pri-
vately and documents furnished to
support any charges that might be
made.
Austin Sees Legal Bar.
'1f we are satisfied that wit
ness can furnish proof of his state
ments, then I think he should be
permitted to tell anything he knows,
but We don't want any wild, un-
Substantiated charges" Senator Kill
gore said.
Senator Austin, Republican, of
Vermont, a member said it was his
idea the subcommittee must first
decide whether it believes Congress
has any jurisdiction over the hap
penings at national party conven-
ton. He said witnesses might have
to be called on this question, point
ing out that actual investigation of
the Sparks charges technically
should wait until the Senate itself
acts on the LANCER resolution.
In this connection, Senator Austin
cited the fact that the Federal Cor
rupt Practices Act specifically ex-
cludes national party conventions
In its provisions dealing with elec-
tions and vote machinery.

has has never had an attrac-

Anyone who does home canning

longer being required for eligibility.
The Gamer may be purchased from
any dealer who has one and need not
be located before the purchase GER
tificate is granted as was the case
during the summer months.
Use the pressure cooker for can
ming chicken, meat and game, Miss

safest method of canning but it is
the easiest and most economical way,

cooker to can meats at home. A copy
