Charges of Corruption Borne Out By Perkins Statement Late Democratic Candidate for Presi dent Holds That It Should Be a Crim inal offense or Corporations to Con tribute to Campaign Fund. Esophus, N. Y. Sept. 17. Former Judge Parker in referring to the charges made by him last fall that a corrpa tion fund was being used to aid the re publican campaign, stated that in rela tion to the statement of Vice-President Perkins of the New York Life Insur ance company, that President McCall, of that company had caused a contri bution of foO.OOO to be made last year to the repubjican national campaign fund. Officers of other great life Insurance companies, such at the Equitable and the Mutual alo contributed from the policy holder funds for campaign pur pose last year. "What has been proved in the case of the New York Life will be proved in other cases. "Were there an investigation of rail road and manufacturing companies and corporations, it would be found that life insurance otrioers are not the only cor- (oration officer who put their bands in the treasury and took out money belong ing to the widow and orphans to help secure partisan triumph. "That their acts were unlawful and purpose corrupt goes without saying. They intended to have the money used as it wa, in corrupting the election. IVi kins makes the point that McCall is a democrat. The truth is, and I say it emphatically, that men like McCall have no political conviction that stand in the way of their personal advantage. "Such men desire the triumph of that party which will better serve their per sonal financial interests. ''The underlying principles which di vide the great mass of people into par ties, have no effect upon such men. "Their own inquiry i, 'will the party organization in its hour of triumph re member our generosity and respond to our demand!' "Of course the organization docs re member, for it expects a similar contri bution next time." It Is not my purpose to claim that the democratic party, had it been subjected to the temptation which overcame the other party, would have acted differ ently. My party advantage ia not to be sought from the disclosures made in this investigation. But, the facts should be diligently sought out that the people may become so aroused that they will insist upon legislation making i a crim inal offense for officers to contribute the corporate funds for political purpose.
