WHO’S PAYING
POLITICAL BILLS
OF GEN. WOOD?
Friends of Lowden and Hard
ing to Ask Congress to Probe
Lavish Spending.
RECKLESS WITH GOLD
WASHINGTON, March 20.—Congres
sional 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 War
ren 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 as
piring candidate.
Tangible expenses Include expensive
headquarters in New Tork, Chicago and
Washington, high-priced publicity stalls
and a political and clerical staff number
ing 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 expen
sive, 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, oc
cupying 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 in
dulged 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. "Any
one who follows the trail of his organi
sation work through any state will recog
nize 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 esti
mate them, and at the present Indicated
rate of expenditure, not less than
$8,000,000 will be spent by the Wood or
ganization before the convention meets
on June 8. It makes the Newberry cam
paigners 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* be
fore It casts its ballots at the coming
primaries.”
Ask Permission for
‘Ads’ in Schoolbooks
Members of the state board of educa
tion 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 ex
penses. They sought permission to in
sert four pages of advertising in books
sold lr. future.
The board has learned that SIO,OOO will
be available for expenditure in Ameri
canization work under its direction. The
sum comes from the Roosevelt Memorial
fund.
