NYE STATEMENT ON SPENDING IS MAOEJARCET Inaccurate, Misleading Says Woman Candidate for Senate Seat. SUBMITS LONG REPORT ‘You Can't Buy Landslides in Illinois,’ Is Answer to Probe Group. B T lines Bnerial CHICAGO. July 14. — It may bo possible to buy certain elections In Jils country, but you can not buy linoia landslides.” Ruth Hanna Mcormlck said today at the opening of the senate committee's investigation Into charges of excessive expenditures In Mrs. McCormick s successful campaign for the Illinois senatorial nomination. The first woman ever nominated lor the senate by a major party submitted a written statement at the opening of he campaign expenditures commitee Chicago hearing. The statement was more than 6.000 words long and reiterated much of the testimony she had given at the hearing in Washington May 1. Mrs. McCormick criticised Senator Nye for giving a statement to the newspapers saying that his investigators had found she expended approximately $325,000 instead of the $252,000 which she reported. •‘His assertion is inaccurate and misleading." her statement said. “It is difficult to understand in what respect the committee's private investigators ‘found’ facts which already were three weeks old upon the committee's records.” Three Units Aided She said the three volunteer orfanizations collected and spent the lollowing on, her campaign: The Ruth Hanna McCormick volunteers, $8,300; the Voters’ Progressive Club, about $44,000. and the Illinois Young Peoples Republican Clubs.sls,ooo. “When I first appeared before the committee in Washington on May 1 I did not know what the three volunteer organizations had expended, but immediately upon obtaining that information I gave it to your committee.” In the absence of other committee members, Senator Nye conducted the hearing alone. He predicted that it would last about four days. After placing Mrs. McCormick's supplementary report in the record, Senator Nye called John L. Flanigan, an attorney from East St. Louis. 111. Mrs. McCormick had been scheduled as the first witness, but she waived this privilege with the expectation of being third to testify. Recognizes Charges Mrs McCormick’s statement recognized the chaiges of her opponents that she had made “unholy" alliances with political factions in Chicago. “My freedom from alliances was as complete on the day of election as it had been from the beginning of the campaign.’’ she said. She emphasized that she was running as an independent, whereas Senator Deneen had the advantage of federal patronage in the Chicago area and pointed out that she was not even a resident of Cook county. Mrs. McCormick wore a navy blue dress and removed her white felt hat as she testified. She faced Senator Nye directly as she answered his questions and spoke clearly and without hesitation. Seven witnesses including Colonel R. R. McCormick, publisher of the Chicago Tribune, who had been summoned to testify today were dismissed until Tuesday when it became apparent Mrs. McCormick probably would be on the stand most of the day. Mrs. McCormick then began reading her prepared statement, much of which dealt with her campaign in Cook county. The statement said that about one-third of her total expense was in Chicago and Cook county. Mrs. McCormick summarized the main points of her testimony as follows: “1. The money I spent was my own. 2. It was spent legitimately. “3. No law was violated, there being no Illinois or federal law which limits campaign expenditures in a senatorial campaign.” She had read about one-fifth of her prepared statement when Senator Nye recessed the hearing for lunch. He announced that Mrs. McCormick would be allowed to continue reading later. DATE SET FOfTpICNIC Police, Firemen to Hold Field Day Aug. 5, 6 at Broad Ripple.

THE INDIANAPOLIS TIMES

STIMSON POLICY VIEWED KEY TO ARMSjLASHES Senate Scans ‘Gradual Cut Doctrine’ in Acting on Naval Treaty. Bn United Press WASHINGTON, July 14.—Behind the roar of debate, the thing that will make or break the London naval pact in the senate is what might be called “Stimson doctrine,” or the idea of arms reduction by frequent conference, revision and improvement. When the Washington conference was called in 1921 there was no thought of making it merely the first of a long series of such parleys. Nor was the situation any different when the Geneva conference was called in 1927. However, today the idea of Secretary of State Stimson is to confer periodically, every few years, step by step arriving at ultimate disarmament. The “doctrine” first was broached by Stimson in his initial speech at the opening of the London conference, and in its way it was as startling as Secretary of State Hughes’ battleship scrapping proposition was some nine years before. In effect, Stimson said the time now is past when diplomats have anything to gain at such conferences by seeking to trick each other into a disadvantage. Obviously, all the nations there had come voluntarily and if any one of them felt it had been tricked, it not only would proceed to get out of the hole into which it had been maneuvered, but would stay away from such conferences in future. World peace and understanding thus would be set back, instead of advanced. Arms limitation, he went on to say, is a continuous process. “Disarmament is a goal to be reached by successive steps, by frequent revision and improvement.” And, he added, “while naval disarmament, of course, was the business of the moment, our ultimate aim is a general solution of the disarmament problem and a consequent lessening of the risks of war,”

METHODISTS TO FIGHTMORROW G. 0. P. Warned on Backing Him for President. Bu United Press WASHINGTON, July 14.—The Methodist board of temperance, prohibition and public morals was on record today with a warning to the Republican party that nomination of Dwight W. Morrow for the presidency in 1932 would be a “tragic mistake,” resulting in overwhelming defeat. Ambassador Morrow, after declaring for repeal of the eighteenth amendment, recently won a onesided victory in the three-cornered race for the Republican senatorial nomination in New Jersey. Referring to this, the board asserted in its weekly clipsheet: “There is more than a little reason to suspect that half of those constituting his majority, in fact, were voting for Lindy and the other half for Anne. For Mr. Morrow personally, much may be said. But if the Republican party ever advances him to national leadership, it will pay the price of defeat, for Mr. Morrow failed to realize that it is better to be right than to be senator.” COST OF ‘ENFORCING’ PROHIBITION BOOSTED Four Millions More Spent in 1929 Than in 1928. Bu Scrivns-Hotcard Xncspnrirr Alliance WASHINGTON, July 14.—Prohibition enforcement costs are increasing constantly, the Association Against the Prohibition Amendment declared today in a statement. Enforcement costs were $4,000,000 greater in 1929 than during 1928. The prohibition unit spent $12,729,140 last year and the coast guard $15,110,530. The customs service is charged with $5,000,000. Against these costs, $5,474,497 collected in fines for prohibition law violations is deducted. Economists for the association estimate the 1929 less in various federal revenues, due to the absence of legalized sale of liquors, was $869,507,697.
