Mason, “dry” state senator, who is a candldate for re-election next Tuesday. Stone was called as the government's star witness in the trial of Mason and Major Percy Owen, also a former Tilinols prohi- bition director, for conspiracy to violate the prohibition law. Stone ‘testifled that he gave Sen- ator Mason $3,000 after Mason had agreed that he would use political pressure while Stone handled the legal end of the business, and added that he paid Mason $22,000 within three months, May to August, 1925, In money received for the ape proval of wine withdrawal permits, It was the first time Senator Ma-~ son’s name had been mentioned in testimony, the previous three days of the trial having been devoted by the government to outlining the al- leged conspiracy by which more than 1,000,000 gallons of sacra mental wine was released at the rate of $300 for 2,000 gallons, xi Effect is Speculated St. Louis, Mo, Oct. 29.—(f— With senate investigation of cam- palgn cxpenditures in four states ale ready concluded and that in twe others in progress, political leaders today speculated as to the possible effect of the disclosures on the gen- eral elections next Tuesday and as to the number of contests for sen- ate seats which might result. The consolidated report will re- view the situation in each of the states—Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ine diana, Washington, Oregon and Arf« zona. Political activities of the anti- saloon league and the Ku Klux Klan probably will form two important | sections of the report, which will be prepared by Senator Reed, demo- crat, Missouri, the chairman. The Klan influence in politics was disclosed during the inquiry into the Muddle situation in In- diana. Evidence presented at the conclusion of this investigation here vesterday was that high officials of the Klan made many trips to In- diana to see that the Klan “‘went down the line” for Senator Watson, running for reelection. The most startling bit of testl. mony came when William M. Rogers of Indianopolis, a member of the | imperial realm of the Klan, aserted | that Senator Watson had shown him | a card which served as an “imperial passport” as a “citizen of the invis- | ible empire.” | Senator Watson later fssued a statement from his room in a hos- pital in Indianapolis in which he dee nounced Rogers' testimony as an “ine famous lie.” A simiiar denial as to Klan mem- |bership was received by Senator Reed last night from Senator Arthue B. Robinson, who also is running for | re-election in Indlana on the repub- lican ticket. In an aftidavit he said he was not a member of the Klan now and that he never had been a he | anged at the Cook | memper of that organization.

In an address here last night he declared that this “circle of political corrvption passes through the heart of the Coolidge administration,” and that this administration had lifted (Continued on Page 29) 'RIVAL CANDIDATES FOR ha st ne | ATTORNEY GENERAL MEET Judge Alling and Atty.
