THE MORXING OREGOXIAN. FRIDAY, AUGUST 23, 1912. i - i COSTLY CAMPAIGN DENIED BY DIXON Colonel's Manager Says Only $160,000 Was Spent in Pre-Convention Efforts. ECONOMY WAS WATCHWORD I'ncle or Gifford Pinchot Largest Contributor Senator's Own Sal- -ary Drawn Upon for Payment of Stenographers.' CHICAGO. Augr. 22. United States SenaJor Dixon, director of the Roose eelt Progressive campaign,, issued a statement tonight in which he declared that the campaign expenses of the Roosevelt Progressives before the Re publican National convention amounted to less than lt0.000. Senator Dixon said that the amount of money spent by the organization from its Washington bureau during this period had been grossly exagger ated. "I read these stories about our ex penses during the primary campaign with considerable amusement at first," said Senator Dixon. "I knew they had been given circulation by the Repub lican organization, but took them as a joke until I discovered that certain editorial writers were using these false reports as the basis for some of their writings. "Outside of the money contributed by local leaders in Ohio. Pennsylvania. Illi nois and Massachusetts for the primary campaign in These four states, the en tire Roosevelt pre-convention campaign cost less than $160,000. I think J150, 000 would be a better figure for the total. The Massachusetts Progressive leaders handled thr own campaign. The same was true, to a greater or less extent, in the other states mentioned. Other Mates Helped. "However, we furnished speakers and literature in Ohio and in the other states also. "Of this total of less than $160,000 that we spent from our Washington headquarters over the entire Nation, more than $50,000 was expended in the printing and distribution of literature and for the running expenses of our Washington bureau. This covers every thing outside of what was expended by local committees in the states already mentioned. "I put just $100 into the South Da kota primary campaign. The total sum expended in the Nebraska primary was $700. "This does not include the expenses of special trains for Colonel Roosevelt, which were paid for from another fund. Plnrhot'H I'arle Largest Honor. "Merely to show how ridiculous were the claims in this connection. I wish to relate this incident: At one time I went to the Capitol one Saturday and drew on my personal salary account as a Senator to get sufficient money to pay the salaries of our stenographers in the Washington bureau for that week. "An uncle of Git'ford Pinchot, who is In Europe, made the largest individual contribution to the pre-convention Roosevelt campaign fund. "We did not get a single dollar for this fund from any corporation. All contributions were from individuals. . "Less than $20,000 was spent in Illi nois during the primary campaign. Of this sum $17,000 was spent for automo biles to get farmers to the polls at a time when they were loath to leave their fields. "I consider that, instead of having been a lavishly-financed campaign, the pre-convention Roosevelt campaign was one of the most economical ever execut ed in the United States." Senator Dixon sent to Washington tonight for the books showing receipts and disbursements for the bureau, which he operated before the Repub lican National convention. He said he would make a list of contributions as toon as these books reached Chicago. MEN WHO FIGURE IN INVESTIGATION THAT MAT RESULT FROM PENROSE'S CHARGES AGAINST ROOSEVELT.
