Anderson Tells Court.
RumeIy Group Was
In Texas Politics

Ine defense moved toward It's con-
clusion today in District Court trial
Of DR.. Edward A. Rumely, executive
secretary of the Committee for
Constitutional Government. He is
3harged with illegally failing to
produce list of his organization S
financial hackers, in response to a
,ubpoena issued by the House Cam
,aign Expenditures Committee.
In one of the rare appearances OF
cabinet officer in the Washington
ourts, Secretary of Agriculture
anderson, who was chairman of the
House Campaign Expenditures Com
nittee, asserted on the witness stand
yesterday that DR.. Rumely's group
had engaged in political activity III
Texas. The group, he declared,
raised more than 100000 in Texas
alone.
T Secretary Anderson told Justice
James M. Proctor and the jury that
in April, 1914, Dr. Rumely's organ
ization sponsored a dinner in Tex
arkana, Tex. in the congressional
district of Representative Wright
Patman, Democrat, described as an
advocate of large Government
spending. The very next day, he
said, an opposition candidate entered
the race. This was shortly before
the Texas primaries.
On the witness stand for nearly
an hour and a half Secretary Ander-
son, in response to questions by
Assistant United States Attorney
Charles B. Murray, asserted the
fact that the committee had referred
lin its literature to the tWo-party
|syStem in Texas aroused his own
committees interest, inasmuch as
Texas is notoriously a one-party
State. This indicated that DR..
Rumely's group had an interest in
partisan politics, the cabinet officer
said. His group was interested in
contributions to the committee in
excess of $100, he declared.
On cross-examination by Defense
Counsel Neil BurkinShaw, Secretary
Anderson denied that Sydney Hill
man of the Political Action Com
mittee, and Earl Browder, Com
munist leader, had demanded that
the committee investigate DIR,
Rumely's books. He said his COM
mittee looked at the checks sub
mitted by DR.. Rumely, found
evidence of great many pamphlets
issued against the fourth term for
the presidency. He conceded Mr..
Patman was not mentioned by name
in the literature but pointed out
that his congressional district was.
Taking the witness stand In his
own behalf. shortly before the
recess of court yesterday afternoon,
DR.. Rumely said he had consulted
with his organizations trustees and
counsel before declining to produce
the required records. He denied
that penny of the organizations
funds had been spent for or against
any political candidate or party.
The Government planned to cross
examine DR.. Rumely today.
