The reason for this quest is
the fact that while the Smiths

and stole several of Mrs. Smith's

Among the articles stolen by
the lady burglar, who had

by a man, were a set of furs,
10 pairs of silk hose, several
dresses, a man's suit of clothes
and an Elk pin and charm.

By David Lawrence
(Copyright,-1820, by The Journal)
Pittsburg, Aug. 27. Plainly the
whole case of Governor Cox rests
upon the charge that Republicans
planned a fund of $15,000,000 for
the whole campaign and that the
national organization set for the in
dividual states huge figures only a
part of "which would be certified to
as having been spent for the na
tional ticket.
Of course, all these sums are estimates
and very little money has actually been
received by either the Democratic or the
Republican national committee thus far.
most of it being in pledges. The Demo
crats have collected less than $50,000 and
their effort is to make it just as hard
for the Republicans to collect much more,
though the latter have; admitted collect
ing $900,000 thus far.
CHAHGE SOT Sew
Governor Cox, in selecting the $15,000,
000 figure as the basis for his charge of
lavish expenditures, is really not saying
anything new. The Democrats here for
the Cox speech pointed to several news
paper articles written as-early as Janu
ary of this year concerning Republican
finance plans. One of these articleawas
a seven column affair in the Brooklyn
Eagle with the streamer heading, "To
Raise $16,000,000 to Elect G. O. P. Presi
dent in 920. Will H. Hays Chairman
Republican National Committee, to Col
lect 'and Control Greatest Campaign
Fund in American History." r i
The . article itself was written by the
Washington correspondent of the Brook
lyn Eagle, who, the Democrats say, is
an intimate friend of Will Hays, and
they allege the yarn came from Hays
himself. It is illustrated with pictures
of Will Hays and Colonel William Boyce
Thompson, chairman of the ways and
means committee of the Republican
financial organization. The first two
paragraphs of the article are bound to
play a part in the question of proofs of
Cox's charees. This is the way it begins :
"Sixteen million dollars may be spent
In the effort to elect a Republican pres
ident of the United States this year.
This staggers the Imagination of most
persons who remember that the average
size of a national campaign fund runs
in the neghborhood of four or five mil
lion dollars. Yet Republicans are plan
ning to get 16 millions into the war chest
in this year's fight. It will be more than
twice as much as was spent under the
direction of Mark Hanna in 1896 to ac
complish the election of William McKln
ley, and the Hanna campaign fund is
generally credited with holding the rec
ord.' WAST ONE HUGE FUID
"In aiming at $16,000,000. the Repub
licans are not figuring to double or
treble the amount ordinarily spent in a
national campaign, although unquestion
ably they will spend far more than ever
before. They are consolidating all cam
pagin financial activities in one huge
fund, rather than having the national
committee raise its own separate fund
and all the state and local committees
continue on the old basis of making their
own collections. . : ' ' !
"The state committees are turning over
their subscription lists to the national
committee. The latter plans to receive
all subscriptions. It will gather money
from persons who have hitherto sub
scribed only to state or local, campaign
funds. ' County and other local commit
tees are expected to fall into line with
the national committee plan.- There Will
be one "great collection agency and one
great disbursing agency. By centraliza
tion of finance, the Republicans hope
not only to eliminate a great deal of
waste that has characterised campaigns
In the past, but to spend their campaign
funds in a more scientific manner and
place it where it will do the most good.
Really, the presidential campaign has
just begun; -

Unstandardized Product Richer in

Differentiation', in quality between
what he termed, "wagon milk" or
that sold by. the" big distributing
plants, and' what he called "cow's
milk" or that sold by - the produc-ing-distributor
is the reason that the
latter, gets a higher price for I his
product, according to the testimony
of Alma D. Katz, president of "the

against the Nestles Food Products
company and the Portland milk dia

According to Katz, the milk retailed
by the producing distributor is not sub
ject to the standardisation which is ac
corded milk handled through distributing
plants and for this - reason, contain a
larger amount of butter fat and is con
sequently worth more money,- -
PRICE JUSTIFIED
Katz testified that be paid 18 cents a
quart to a producing distributor for milk
for his household when it was being re
tailed by the large distributing plants for
15 cents and that he considered the un
standardized product well worth the dif
ference. : ; i --j- ' -
The answers of the witness were in
response to a query from : Judge Mc
Court as to why the producing distrib
utors received more per quart ' for - milk
than did the large distributors.' : ,
Katz admitted under , cross-examination
by Chriss : Bell, attorney . for the
Portland-Damascus company,';, that an
increase ' to : the' distributors necessarily
meant an increase to the ultimate con
sumer, t He charged, however,. that -the
large distributors in increasing-: their
price 1 cent a quart on July 1, should
not have confined, the increase solely to
the bottled milk sold -to housewtves, but
should have extended . to- cover milk
sold wholesale to restaurants and hotels.

ments - that we- are wholly responsible

supply in the city of Portland. He: said
he favored : the enactment of. legislation
toward the appointment of a milk com
mission which should regulate prices be
cause of what be considered the indis
pensable nature of milk as a commodity.
Thursday afternoon Katz explained the
organization of the dairymen into, a co
operative marketing association. He
stated that he was put at. the head of the
dairymen's -organization because of the
illness pf W. W, Cotton, who was first
slated to become head of it.. : y
BETTER PRICES AIM h p-iH'Pr
He said the dairymen organized to get
better prices for the milk, and that only
through their organization did he be
lieve that the dairying industry had been
saved to the state. : J . r
- 'Fred O'Donnell, j who had ' charge of
handling the fund 'raised by the distrib
utors to fight the league,' appeared on
the stand Friday morning and was ques
tioned by Malarkey as to the amount of
money that had been raised for the cam
paign.. He was excused after a few
questions and after producing a bank
statement, which showed deposits toward
the fund aggregating $1510, upon his
agreement to appear again in court with
the resumption of the case next Toes
day with a chart showing who had made
the contributions and for what purpose
disbursements had been made.
