Paris, Aug. 30.—The Spanish cabinet has resigned, according to advices re- celved here today fram Madrid, Chicago, Aug. 30.—An extended -exa- ‘mination today of Will H. Hays and ‘Ho- mer . Cummings, republican’ and -demo- cratic: national chairmen by ‘the sendte committee . invex'igating icampaign - ex- venditures, failed to throw amy light on the - $15,000,000 . fund which. Governor | committee, and Former Representatie Joseph ‘L. Rhinoek, of Kentucky, treas- urer of the committee. Outstanding points in the maze of fig- ures through which the committee strug- gled were: Testimony by Mr. Hays ‘that the . re- publican national committee’s budget -for the presidential campaign called for ex- penditure of $3,079,037.20. Declaration by Mr. Cummings that, ‘ullnwing for the increased ‘cost of print- ing, clerical hire, rents, transportatién and all necessities of a national cam- paign, a national committee should be able to stage “a fair, decent and !t[fll campaign with reasonable publicity” for! $3,000,000. With that amount of money, he said, the national chairman need not worry over finances, Mr. Hays also testified the republi- can national committee was seeking to raise approximately $1,000,000 to be do- nated to state committees for their local campaigns, making a total of slightly | more than $4,000,000 in the republican | campaign chest for all purposes. Mr. Cummings declared he believed this amount was excessive and pointed to the 1916 campaign, saying he learned in his home state of Connecticut the re- publicans spent $250,000 in that year. He considered this was too much for a commonwealth of that size. Both Mr. Hays and Mr. Cummings| refused to discuss details. of their com- mittee financing, asserting that.as chair- men they had only a general knowledge of such subjects and that the books and records of the committee treasurers would have to be relied upon in that respect. * o Neither knew of any large individual contributions and Mr. Hays was rather positive that the republican plan to lim- it individual gifts*to $1,000 was being carried out successfully. He ‘knew of thirty-eight exceptions to the rule, the largest being for :$9,000. Mr. Cummings explained that the or- ganization - of - which he . was ‘chairman Wns poverty - stricken .when : he - assuriied that office and that he left to his suc- cessor §$651 in cash and a met indebted- ness of slightly .more- than $200,000. The fwo chairmen agreed that. legisla- tion lonkingl to federal control of presi- dential campaigns was desirable. Sena- tor Pomerene argued that congress was powerleds at present -because -the - su- preme court had held that presidential electors were state officials. A suggestion ‘that a constitutional amendment might be necessary to give congress oversight .of - presidential cam- paigns brought from Mr. Hays a proposal 10" obtain such a change in the basic law. Kepresentative Fidod estimated $220,- 000 would be required by his democratic congressional committes to conduct its efforts properly, but presented ‘figures to show that he had received only §8,700 in ubscriptions. Questioning of Representative ~Fioo. brought out that he had printed by the public printer at Washington 1.300,000 copies of speeches by democratic con- gressmen. He had pledged his commit- tee to pay §5,098.16 for the printing, he said. The speeches were being sent out under congressional frank, thereby elim- inating postage bills. On questioning Mr. Cummings, Chair- man Kenyon asked how much money it would take to buy the American elec- torate. “Harding couldn’t be elected no mat- ter how much money is spent in his be- half,” rejoined Mr. Cummings. “Gover- nor Cox did not say that the American electorate could be bought for $15,000.- 000,000, but he did say an attempt was being made to do so.” ¥red W. Upham. republican national treasurer. will be the first witness tomor- row. Senator Kenyon announced when the committee adjourned. He will be follow- ed by Wilbur W. Marsh, democratic treasurer.
