Cannon on Stand
James J. Cannon, president of tho
Fourth National Bank of Now York,
was tho first witness called boforo
tho committee today.
Cannon testified that ho audited
tho books of tho lata Cornelius N.
Bliss, treasurer of tho republican na
tional campaign In 1904, but said
that ho knew nothing of any cam
paign contributions cither In 1904 or
1908.
After Cannon hod denied that any
of tho officora of his bank were In
terested in campaign contributions
ho was oxcusod and Senator Dixon
called. Dlxon'a testimony was
marked by repeated otashes with
uiombors of tho committee
Dixon Wants All Probed
After admitting that ho had solic
ited sonio funds for tho progressive

maluliig talesmen can supply enough
men to fill tho box. It tho caso Is
suspouded until another voulro Is
culled we will ask that tho prisoners

District Attorney Atwlll bolloves
that tho talesmon are being Intimi
date. "Something." said Atwlll today,
"Is radically wrong, Perhaps tho
talesmon are alarmed by the appear
unco of black hand lottors and reports
of tho momberu of tlio Industrial

FRICK AN GOULD GAVE
Ice to toll him how dcop it Intended
to probo, saying:
"I want tho committee to probe
othor campaign funds besides those
contributed for Hoosflvclt's fight. Tho
Impression Is general that this in
vestigation Is directed against tho
progressive candldato for president.
Why not Investigate Wilson?" asked
if he had not been advised that the
committee Intended to Investigate the
campaign contributions o nil parties
Dixon answered:
"I most certainly have not."
"Well you ought to bo better In- .
formed," commented Senator Oliver
of Pennsylvania.
"It is Just thirty days to election
and I do not consider this a square
deal," said Dixon. Chairman Clapp
objected to this statements
"I am not reflecting." replied
Dixon, "on any member of this com
mittee who is a friend of Qolonel
Roosevelt."
Dixon Called Down
"You are making a mistake," In
terrupted Senator Paynter. "You
are lecturing this committee. You
were not Invited here to lecture but
to testify. h Yen ares.mlstakr--5rie''
you charge that this investigation Is
directed at only one candidate."
Dixon then began his testimony,
saying:
"Every ono realized that Taft's
nomination meant utter defoat for the
republican ticket and that fact is still
evident.
"Frank Munsey, George W, Per
kins and Dan Hanna gave me var
ious BiiniB approximately 9C,000.
Of this amount $62,000 wero spent
at progressive headquarters In Wash
ington for literature. I did not keep
any books as wo spent the monoy as
fast as It was received. We were
up against tho powerful federal ma
chlno with thousands of dollars be
hind It. Wo were unorganized and
desperately in need of funds at all
times, During the four months of
tho fighting howocr, wo havo re
ceived lots of dollar contributions."
For IlightcniiH Cause
Dixon said that ho know only
from hearsay that nttompta were
mndo at Chicago to change tho votes
of certain dologates and vehemently
denied that tho Roosevelt leaders
had used money to buy delegates.
Referring to the pro-convention cam
paign, ho said progressive campaigns
wero conducted in soma states and
that in others no fight was made.
"It was llko movomonts," said
Dixon, "whero people rlso up to bat
tlo for a righteous causo. Wo niado
no campaign In Wisconsin, believing
wo woro giving tho LaFolIotto dolo
gatos thoro our moral support."
Senator Oliver asked Dixon if tho
newspapers had correctly quoted him
as saying that tho rotumHtee was
made up of 'a cheat) bunch of poli
ticians" and that hu intended "to
show them up."
"I do not intend to show up tho
committee if T van help it." nimwercd
Dixon, "uud 1 do not know whether I
used that language It may ho that
I used worse."
