(1 ji ! 11 it Foil Testimony Concerning State ment That "Roosevelt Spent Mill ions of Harvester Trust Money la Wanted. WASHINGTON, Sept. Jt Senator Clapp has received a letter from George W. Perkins asking that Charles D. Hllles, chairman of the Republican Na tional committee, be called before the Senate committee Investigating cam paign expenditures to "testify fully as to his charge," that Colonel Roose velt had "spent millions of dollars of harvester trust money." Senator Clapp said today that Mr. Hllles undoubtedly would be called be fore the committee, but would be ques tioned- not alone upon that reported statement, but upon the general sub ject of campaign contributions. Cannon May Be Called. Former Speaker Cannon and Repre sentatives McKtnley, of Illinois, and Weeks, of Massachusetts, probably will be asked to testify in connection with the Investigation Into alleged campaign contributions by protected Interests be fore the tariff sessions of 1909. Telegrams received today from New York signed by members of the Nation al Retail Tobacco Dealers' Association demanded of Clapp Investigation of the relation of the American Tobacco Com pany to campaign funds of recent years. The retailers asked that the senate committee investigate the af fairs of the tobacco trust and of large individual companies to determine whether they had contributed to Presidential or Congressional cam paigns. . BUM Will Tratlfr.. A plan for the opening of next week's hearings was outlined today by Senator Clapp .for presentation to the committee when it meets. The first witness probably will be Cornelius N. Bliss, Jr., and the second C. C. Tegeth off, private secretary of the late Ed ward "H. Harriman. These two men will be called upon to produce any pa pers belonging to the estates, respec tively, of Cornelius N. Bliss and E. H. Harriman that might throw light on the charges made by John D. Arch bold that the Standard Oil Company had been asked to contribute te the Roosevelt fund of 1904. 0LC0TT HAS NEW PLAN Each Department to Provide for Own Appropriations Is Aim. SALEM. Or., Sept 24. (Special.) To do away with the contingent fund as It now stands and replace it with a system of appropriations for contingent expenses in which each of the several departments will be required to stand on its own feet and receive appropria tions for its own supplies, is a plan which is being worked out by Secretary Olcott and which probably he will put up to the next Legislature. As the system now stands the Secre tary of State provides stationery and supplies for the various departments of state government out of an appropria tion for contingent expenses. The ap propriation for the last biennial period was 128,000, and this is now overdrawn about 5000. Each of the departments calls upon the Secretary of State's office for Its supplies, and as a result It is neces sary to keep an extra employe to allow that office to carry on this part of its work. Under the plan of Secretary Olcott the appropriations for every department would provide for the necessary cost of supplies and stationery, and each de partment would be responsible for its expenditures along those lines.

Colonel Calls Wilson "Comic ally Inconsistent." FREE SILVER IS RECALLED Democratic Nominee Called On to Tell- Whether op Xot He Would Vote Ticket With Platform ot 16 Years Ago. M'ALESTER, Okla., Sept 24. Gov ernor Wilson's record as a Democrat was taken up by Colonel Roosevelt to night He quoted Governor Wilson as saying In a recent speech that the pro gramme of the Democratic party had been substantially the same for the last 16 years and then said that 16 years ago Mr. Wilson had bolted the Democratic party because it stood for free silver. "I ask him," he said, "whether he means that if the programme today were for free silver he would vote for It or, if not, why he bolted." He said Governor Wilson had "got to hit on one of the two horns" of the dilemma. The people of Oklahoma gave Colonel Roosevelt an enthusiastic welcome. He made his first speech in Tulsa at 7 o'clock, spent the afternoon in Okla homa City at the state fair and spoke here tonight, then he left for Arkansas. Colonel" Says Wilson Bolted. In his spech here tonight Colonel Roosevelt said: "I noticed two statements by Mr. Wilson, one appearing in the Sunday papers and one today, which are com ically at variance with each other. In one Mr. Wilson expressed great satis faction with his party. He says the Democratic party has had substantial ly the same programme for 16 years. If that is so, Mr. Wilson didn't know it, for 16 years ago he voted against Mr. Bryan. He has forgotten that little detail of his past life and the expressions he used about Mr. Bryan. "More than that, the party hasn't had the same programme for 16 years. It has had every conceivable kind' of programme. Mr. Bryan ran the first time, Mr. Parker next, then Mr. Bryan ran again. Now it Is Mr. Wilson. Mr. Wilson knows perfectly well that the party wouldn't venture for one moment to adopt Its programme of 16 years ago. Its programme then was free sliver. Mr. Wilson left it because its programme was free silver. Question as to Free Silver Asked. "I ask Mr. Wilson whether he means that If the programme today were free silver he would vote for It, and if not why he bolted? "Speaking in Pennsylvania, Mr. Wil son said that while he was a free trader, he was not enough of a free trader to hurt. He said: 'You do not suppose that as Democrats are engaged in every kind of enterprise they are going to icut their throats?" Why didn't he think of that-in 1896? He took tfie view then that if the pro gramme of the Democratic party should be put into effect it would cut the throats of the people. Either what he said then was not true, or what'he says now is not true. ' "Mr. Wilson's party is not progres sive. It represents the bosses, the standpat Interest, in this country. Mr. Wilson has shown in his speeches that he has no conception of what is meant by progressiveness." Colonel Roosevelt said Governor Wil son had set himself in opposition to the principles for which the Roose velt Progressive party stands in saying that the growth of liberty was con tingent upon limitation of the powers of Government. ' "I wish to see It so that the Gov ernment" he continued, "has as much power over Mr. Rockefeller and the Standard Oil Company as it now has over a National bank. I wish the Government to have the power to go into Mr. Rockefeller's office, and. If he doesn't run his business as he ought to, appoint a receiver and run his business until he learns how."

T am not familiar with the develop ments in other Western . states, al though many good reports have come to roe at Beverly concerning them, but even with the states already men tioned it can be seen that there is no longer a solid West back of the new party, but more nearly a solid West reunited in support of the Republican ticket. This strength, added to the indisputable Republican hold on the Eastern states, constitutes In Itself a sufficient strength to give success to the party. 'It is scarcely necessary for me to point to the necessity of re-establishing a Republican majority in the House of Representatives.

'If the country will give the Repub lican party a complete victory In Its Congressional as well as its Presiden tial ticket a proper tariff revision will be speedily effected, with knowledge of the facts ascertained by a tariff commission,, which will harm no one and remove its present defects." The President attended a theater to night, leaving for Altoona, Pa., shortly before midnight.
