The employ- ing class politicians simply will not take a chance on saying anything about their activities. This is par- ticularly true because the hearings @re being held in the midst of the campaign when all are anxious to poll the heaviest vote and are on guard | to prevent any loss thru loose talk. Senator Borah told the DAILY WORKER that he knew before the | % investigation was begun that very lit- 1¥ tle headway would be made during the campaign. @emocrats, and self-styled progres tent and character of their contribu- tions. Besides, the committee has not Made any serious effort to press for results. Hearing Adjourned in Chicago. The hearings at Chicago were ad- fourned. William Morgan Butler ap- peared before the committee and told | the senators that his national head- ‘ ; Quarters have so far received about three and a half million dollars for | 5 the election of Coolidge. Sufficient @vidence has already been submitted te indicate that the republicans have Tesorted to wholesale buying of news- papers and to a lavish expenditure of funds secured from the biggest busi- hess interests. The republican party has been more definitely tied up with fhe house of Morgan than in any of |J. 3B. the previous campaigns. It has also been shown that the La- | Follette campaign costs will run into |5- at least a million dollars, if the vari- ous auxiliary units are taken into aceéunt. A considerable portion of |} the LaFollette money has come from such notorious open shoppers like W. T. Rawleigh of Illinois, who has given $38,000 so far. Facts Carefully Concealed. The great precaution taken by the various witnesses to hide the facts of their campaign was shown most plain- ly at the hearings held in Chicago. ‘When Samuel Untermyer showed Mr. Butler some wires and asked him to identify the same and their contents, the republican national chairman calmly declared he knew nothing about them. Not a single member of the committee would dare attempt to have Mr. Butler's memory refreshed. Whe republican attorney, Weymouth Kirkland, who is also lawyer for the Chicago Tribune, saw to it that noth- ing damaging enter the record. It is interesting to note that Mr. Butler admitted that the bulk of he republican contributions came from New York, Pennsylvania, and Illinois. At the Washington sessions Mr. Grun- dy was forced to tell the committees that in Pennsylvania alone the repub- licans collected more than $800,000. Under cross examination by Mr. Un- termyer in Chicago, M. McCuthcheon displayed a remarkably weak memory, when he was questioned about the breakfast that’had been arranged at the White H use for many preminent actors. George Barr Baker, republi- can publicity director, was likewise deserted by his memory when he was Quizze sbout many of the full page ads appearing in some of the Jeading dailies thruout the country in behalf f Coolidge and Dawes. | The Chicaso hearings have been of- ficially closed. The Washington hear- ings will wind up officially as soon as Borah reaches the capital. The com- Mittee at the capital succeeded in very little headway in getting tion from Frank Morrison of American Federation of Labor as the support rendered by this body Wisconsin senator.
