It was told to the Democratic cam- Paign managers that the Senatorial Committee had planned to spring the ph pul {Minton book at the opening of the! from pect to. session on Tuesday. The information {8 that Ed.

Mr, Minton appeared in Washing- ton more than @ year ago with hs plan to issue a book telling about the | winning of the war. Hoe approached several newspwper men with his plan, which was to puplish pictures and aketohes of the various Governmont officials and the distingu shed “dollar & year’ men whd served on different boards during and subsequent to the hostilities. For several weeks Mr. Minton waa very busy around Washington. Then he transferred his activities to New York. He opened an office and the Wall Street district began to know him. It is alleged, according to Demo- cratic information, by the Republt- cans who haye traced Mr. Minton that about all the leading bankers and financiers of the city who were in any way identified with war work came across. At the time of Mr. Minton’s ap- pearance in Washington he confided to those he sought to enlist in his enterprise that his purpose was to Is- Ue two or three volumes dealing with different ines of war activity. At that time his ideas as to the amount to be paid by those included in the Mist of war winners was comparatively modest. The limit appeared to be} about $500, CHANGES PLAN AND ISSUES ONLY ONE BOOK. tt apgears that Mr. Minton changed | his plan and is issuing only one book. It is charged by the Repub- licans who seek to couple Mr. Minton with William Barnes that Mr. Minton finally set the mini- mum price of a mubscription at $500 for which he agreed to furnish a plain sketch of the subscriber and a price of $1,000 for a sketch and a photograph. The $1,000 price, how- ever, it is charged, was not the maximum, Mr, Minton was quite prominent last ‘winter and spring In promoting the Presidential boom of Mr. McAdoo. It in gaid that his book plainly shows that Mr. McAdoo and the Treasury Department undoubtedly won the war, although it ts admitted that several million sokiiens took part in the con- flict. ‘The Republicans who have read the proof sheets—and how they ob- tained possession of them ts a dark mystery-—are said to admit that Mr. Minton’s book {= quite a master- leoe of style, It inys all over the 8 in literary style, Mr, Minton wrote the book himself and he is a trained writer. He worked for years as @ newspaper man in this city and was at one time editor of the Mustrated American.
