HABIT OF AIDING
CAMPAIGN FUNDS

Washington, May 28. "William
Cooper Proctor's $500,000 contribu
tlon to the campaign fund of Gen-
era! Leonard Wood - stirred fond
recollectlonsjiere today In the minds
of many friends of President Wil
son, who. pointed out that another
' 1500,000 contributed Just 10 years
ago this month in another cause
had as much to do with electing
Woodr9W Wilson ; to the presidency
as any other circumstance in hfc po
litical Journey to the White House".
Proctor grave $500,000 In 1910 toward
the establishment of a graduate, school In
Princeton university,- of which Wilson
was then the president, but the latter
turned the gift down because the Cin
cinnati soap manufacturer attached cer
tain conditions to the expenditure of the
money which Involved the retention of
a certain personnel in the college.
HB8T STEP TO OFFICE
Wilson argued that gifts should come
without atrtngs attached and th . inci
dent provoked such a controversy among
Princeton alumni that it led Wilson re-
luctantly to resign the presidency of the
college and, accept the gubernatorial
. nomination, : which the Democratic lead
ers in New Jersey were eager for him to
take. I - '
Again and again that half million dol
lars has been facetiously referred to
among Princeton men as the "first im
portant contribution" toward Wilson's
first campaign for the presidency. Proc
tor's testimony in defense of his expendi
tures for General Wood did not create
the impression that he contributed large
sums of moiiey for any selfish purpose.
Ha contributed heavily to the Hughes
campaign in! 1916.
I' OLE OCT DESIRED POSTS
Cross examination on the stand rather
led to the conclusion of disinterested per
sons that Pfoctor is the kind of man
who was persuaded by ardent and en
thusiastic friends of General -Wood that
he ought to Use his fortune to help ad
vance the 'candidacy of so vigorous a
character as; General Wood. Of course
the game of roping men of wealth Into
a political campaign is an art in itself
and In every case the "patriotic oppor
tunity" offered to the man of means is
emphasised rather than any suggestion
of personaf ; advantage in the form of
political office. .
On the other hand, it has been cus
tomary for election ' candidates not to
forget some of the wealthy contributor's
" to their campaign funds either in am
bassadorships or cabinet positions. . ;
raOMISES NECESSARY
The bold action of Governor Lowden of
Illinois in spending considerable money
to be nominated but spending it out of
. his own pocket rather than be under
obligations to any individual or group of
individuals Is tn marked contrast to the
method In which the Wood campaign
has been conducted , though the General
is not wealthy and was dependent "en
tirely -on. the voluntary contributions of
interested friends;.
The general himself does not solicit
campaign contributions. Few candidates
ever do. s It's when the men ' who get
around a prospective candidate do the
soliciting for funds that the embarrass
ing promises are made. Bven President
Wilson found after his campaign in 1912
that some of his managers had promised
Jobs and certain courses of action, of
which he had no knowledge, with the
result that-the president-elect met seme
bitter feeling inside his own party at the
outset, a few grudges stillemaiaing.
EVIDENCE IS SLIM
The whole effect of the investigating
committee of the senate is to show that
the various candidates for the presidency
are being backed by individuals or-pri-vate
interests who will have a string
on the next president of the " United
States, i It is within the power of a con
gressional commutes to spread innuen
does Just the same.
Th ICenyon investigating committee
gets plenty of publicity. The reporters
attend en masse. Some questions which
might provoke many a libel suit if asked
outside of congress by one individual of
another are given, the widest currency,
liotr. sides suffer. Men are subpoenaed
without a particle of evidence.
HE GATE NO MONET
Barney Baruchjpas called purely on the
tasis of a story published in the Hearst
papers to the effect that he had gotten
up a million dollar fund for McAdoo. It
turns out that Baruch swears that he
didn't contribute a cent. :
On the other hand the effort to be
smirch Mitchell palmer by the implica
tion that he got contributions from con
cerns who evaded their income tax ob
ligations and were later required to pay
millions of dollars in back taxes to the
treasury, is in effect a criticism of the
department of Justice which would never
have anything to do with income tax
matters, even though those concerned
wera guilty of evasion.
- The administration of the Income tax
and indeed all prosecutions are conduct
ed by the treasury department officers,
who are only technically in the depart
ment of justice roster.
AMOCM NOT UNREASONABLE
. The whole episode is another instance
of a way a congressional committee can
be handled for partisan political pur
poses, though in this Instance the effort
is entirely inspired by the Hiram John
son followers in the senate, and is aimed
not merely at Democrats but at Repub
lican rivals of Senator Johnson. . .i
Again and again congressional com
mittees have conducted Inquisitions of
this kind without proving anything espe
cially but raising political smoke screens
of doubt.
,The present pre-convention campaign
has been a costlier one 'than usual, but
the expenditures have been distributed
ever more candidates and - the contests
under the primary system are more re
sponsible for the situation than any
newly developed cupidity or political cor
ruption. Most of the money has been
spent in publicity and advertising .and
.not in : buying votes.
