HEAVY EXPENDITURE
6Y COOLIDGE DENIED
Good Flatly Contradicts Johnson
Charge of “Shameless” Spending
in Sonth Dakota.
Charges by Senator Johnson of
California, that “shameless” expendi
tures were mado by the Coolidge cam
paign managers in South Dakota are
“not true,” former .Representative
James W. Good, in charge of Coolidge
headquarters at Chicago, declared
here last night in a statement.
Mr. Good’s statement follows;
“I am amazed at the statement of
Senator Hiram Johnson to the effect
that the Coolidge headquarters had
made lavish expenditures in South
Dakota in an attempt to purchase the
electorate of that state in the recent
| preferential primaries. This statement
i would be serious, if true, but it is
j not true.
I “In the statement we are charged
| with ‘in hiring an army of orators’
| and ‘in buying full page advertise
! ments in every newspaper iu South
Dakota.’ The. full page newspaper ad
vertisements were Inserted in but a
very few of the newspapers of South
Dakota. These advertisements con
sisted largely of letters, telegrams,
| and statements from the senator’s
j former friends and supporters in
| California. This so-called ‘army of!
orators’ consisted of the following: !
“Secretary of Labor, James J. j
Davis; Hx-Secretary of the Treasury. 1
Leslie M. Shaw; Kx-Oov. Harding of |
Iowa: former Congressman Hum- |
phreys of Washington, two women
and James Kaox of Indiana.
statements Unjustified.
“No other speakers were sent into
South Dakota and but a very few
residents of South Dakota took the
stump in behalf of the President. The
statement that the campaign had been
carried on by “the most reckless and
shameless use of money’ has no more
justification than the statement with
regard to the use of an ’army of ora
tors.’
“The campaign for Mr. Coolidge in
South Dakota was carried on along
the most economical lines, the speak
ers being largely volunteers, and in )
view of the unwarranted attacks on
President Coolidge the campaign was
conducted at a very reasonable outlay
of money. All things considered, we
are pleased with the result of the
South Dakota primary. It was a great j
moral victory, the value of which can- |
not be lessened by untrue statements j
as to how it was achieved ”

that the material bo sold or other
wise disposed of. The sum of $190,000
or as much thereof as may be neces
sary, would be authorised to be ap
propriated for this purpose.
This bill has the approval of the
chief of engineers of the War De
partment. Such legislative action is
necessary because the act which au
thorized the construction of the Key
bridge, although it referred to the re
moval of the Aqueduct bridge, did not
specifically provide for its removal.
The Moore bill contains a proviso
that any balance remaining from the
authorized appropriation and any
funds that may be realized from the
sale of salvaged materials, may be
applied to protection and improve
ment work on the Virginia side of
the river, in the area included in the
approaches of the Aqueduct bridge
and the Francis Scott Key bridge, as
may be deemed necessary to insure
that the surrounding conditions.after
the removal of the old bridge, shall
harmonize with the design of the new
bridge and in no way endanger that
structure.
