Milwaukee, Oct. 11. That Senator
Stephenson's campaign was waged ac
tively among the Catholic element

said he spent $4500 and kept the rest
himself, as he had reported to them.
Father Perrin said he gave R. J.

Catholics, who later became active in
Stephenson's behalf.
Father Perrin said he therefore
could not account for $3000 which
