White denied that at any time the! @emocrats had planned to raise from $5,000,000 to $10,000,000 On the ground that Governor Cox would make a stump speech if al- lowed to testify in the slush inquiry being conducted here by the senate committee, republican members of the committee have virtually decided Rot to summon Cox. They fear he would seize the op: portunity to loose another tirade against the republican party, includ- ing the republican majority of the committes, If they can help it, Cox Won't get that chance.
