IS ( Coottnned From Pate One.) spending money as lavishly as the Re publicans. Borah's speech brought a vehement reply from Senator Moses, who said that every dollar spent for Wood was being spent properly and of necessity. Moses asked whether Borah ywas mak ing a charge of corruption, and Borah, declaring that he waived his "senatorial privilege of immunity for utterances on the floor, charged that Wood's man agers were deliberately trying to con trol the convention by the use of money. Hurling his charge at the Wood men, Borah challenged them : ''Now let them go to bat on that if they like." BORAH WANTS PUBLICITY Borah's bill provides full publicity for campaign.' contributions and ex penditures. Violators would be -subject to a " maximum penalty of 125,000 fine and two years' imprisonment. "For years," said Borah, "the spend ing of money in campaigns has been increasing.. Indications are that this year there will be a perfect saturnalia of corruption directly through the use of money in the campaign. Develop ments thus far in the campaign seem to me to make it necessary for con gress to take some notice. There is no reason why this bill should not pass In ttme to be effective 30 days before the Chicago and San Francisco conven tions." Senator Kenyon at this point said that, in view pf the slowness of con gress to act on a bill, a resolution of Investigation should be introduced and adopted. - ASHUBST WANTS Jf AMES "I'm in favor of such a resolution," said Borah, "but I think congress will hesitate before daring to sidetrack this bill." Senator Ashurst of Arizona called on Borah to give names. , "I'll name them," said Borah. Tpu name the Democrats you know about." "If I knew of any Democrats who were spending money Improperly ra name them." said Ashurst. "If I know WOOD MONEY ORGY SAYS BORAH Of any Democrat who , was : trying to get a third term I'd be Quick to tell the senate I am opposed to it" , "If you don't know about a Democrat who wants a third term you are blessed with more Innocence than I supposed anybody from Arizona bad retorted Borah. "Do you know of any?" asked .Ash urst. "If you'd seen a letter I Just saw you'd know It," Borah said. Ashurst said he'd like to have the letter read to the senate. Continuing. Boran aid that "scan dalous stories are being printed" about huge sums of money being spent. He read a published statement that work ers for Leonard Wood were told to "get the nomination, no matter what it costs." He said Governor Lowden's managers had spent their money with 'more adroitness" than Wood's. He added that two of the Democratic can didates had beea as lavish In their ex penditures. Ashurst demanded that Borah name the .Democrats, promising if he did so "to see that they didn't get some of the delegates they might otherwise pro cure." Borah said he'd give all the facts be fore he got through. eo,toe fob wood Borah then took up a recently' pub lished story naming a group of men said to have underwritten Wood's cam paign for $600,000 or more. Dan , R. Hanna, Cleveland, Ohio, capitalist, was one of those named. Edward L. Doheny, an roil man and another of those named as an under writer of the Wood campaign, Borah said, was a heavy contributor to the Democratic funds for years. "And is now a candidate for dele gate to the Democratic convention from the state of California." said Borah. Borah declared that if the men named wished to they "could deny this charged in 48 hours." "Any candidate for president who ac cepts such stupendous favors from any interests will, if elected, have to re turn those favors ltf some way," Borah saict. "Wood and Lowden and all the other candidates owe it to the American peo ple to come out and tell the country where the money they are spending is coming from and how it is bein spent." Borah offered telegrams he received from South Dakota, referring to the use of money there by Wood and Low den. "Those telegrams told me that for every vote cast there an average of S10 was spent," Borah' asserted. FOR FATAL MISHAP. (Continued FrnxfPac On) statement was corroborated by wit nesses. lire.
