him to raise 1100,000 for tho National

I ho goal ought to bo fixed at about

I advocated strongly that the limit be

by quite a largo majority. Tw,o day
later Col. Thompson had nn Interview
with the candidate (Mr. Harding) In

subpecnas have been sent by tho Ken
yon commltteo without the production
of tho person of Mr. Carroll, Mr. Mooro
said ho did not know Carroll, that the

Carroll letter reed to tho commltteo lost

Cox for President "as a big victory for

Senator Kenyon said the commltteo
purposed to hear from Sir. Carroll be
fore It got through.
Mr. Mooro did. not like being Inter

ness remembered that Nick Duttle was
tho secretary of the Ohio Liquor Licenso
League whon Senator Kenyon men
tioned his last name,
"Did this Ohio liquor league contribute

"I don't konw. It might hnve."
Senator Kenyon said he brought up
this matter because, after the letter of
President Carroll of tha Federation ot
Liquor Dealers of New Jersey "wan read
at tho hearing, Gov. Cox was reported
