WHO’S PAYING POLITICAL BILLS OF GEN. WOOD? Friends of Lowden and Harding to Ask Congress to Probe Lavish Spending. RECKLESS WITH GOLD WASHINGTON, March 20.—Congressional Investigation of expenditure* In Gen. Leonard Wood’s campaign for the republican presidential nomination Is to be sought by friends of both Gov. Frank O. Lowden of Illinois and Senator Warren G. Harding of Ohio, rival asplrantc. Wood’s pre-convention campaign, it Is declared, is being conducted on a scale hitherto never approached by any aspiring candidate. Tangible expenses Include expensive headquarters in New Tork, Chicago and Washington, high-priced publicity stalls and a political and clerical staff numbering hundreds. WHO FOOTS THESE BILLS? Who, the question is, is putting up the cash? And how much? And why? These questions are inevitably in one’s mind after he has looked over the Wood layout at his Chicago headquarters. Space at the Congress hotel Is expensive, but Wood headquarters occupy choicest rooms, and lots of them. The presidential suite was reserved for Wood’s own use when in Chicago. Frank Hitchcock, campaign manager, shares its elegance. More than a score of other rooms, occupying virtually one entire ■wing of Parlor B floor, is filled with Wood work, ers, ail busy rolling political logs! George Sunday, son of Evangelist Billy Sunday, is director of the publicity staff. Sunday, like his father, is a whirlwind of pep and action. AND HE I SES SPECIAL CAR. Wbeu Wood goes campaigning he uses a special car—perhaps even a special train. Don’t mind expense. Get action. Get the nomination! Those are the orders. With h'm go two or three of Ms publicity staff. Also a movie operator, some bill posters and a stock of brilliant placard* advising the good people to “Vote for Wood.” These expensive extras, previously indulged in only in the final campaign when the national party chest* could be tapped to pay the bills, have stirred Wood’s rival candidates. They are determined to bring about an airing of the financial side of the Wood campaign. "Wood is now conducting an active fight in at least twenty states,” one of the Lowden managers said today. "Anyone who follows the trail of his organisation work through any state will recognize that cash, and lots of it, is necessary for the organization he has set up. MARKS PIKER OF NEWBERRY. "We have reports to show that $50,000 was spent in one state which only has six delegates. “On the basis of his costs, as we estimate them, and at the present Indicated rate of expenditure, not less than $8,000,000 will be spent by the Wood organization before the convention meets on June 8. It makes the Newberry campaigners look like pikers. “What are the interest* so bent on the nomination of Wood that they will spend large sums to Insure hi* nomination? And why arp they willing to spend It? The public should know those fact* before It casts its ballots at the coming primaries.” Ask Permission for ‘Ads’ in Schoolbooks Members of the state board of education today are considering the matter of allowing the World Book Company to print advertisements in school spellers to save the company from loss under the contract price of the books. Representatives of the book publishers told the board that the company was losing about Qla cents on each book sold because of the advance In printing expenses. They sought permission to insert four pages of advertising in books sold lr. future. The board has learned that SIO,OOO will be available for expenditure in Americanization work under its direction. The sum comes from the Roosevelt Memorial fund. MOTION PICTURES.
