WASHINGTON, jQct "I. asked no
man to contribute to the campaign fund
when I was elected ' president of. the
United States, and I wish to reiterate
that Mr. Bliss and Mr. Cortelyou both
assured 'me that no promise had been
made as a return for any contribution.
Neither they or any one else having au
thority, asked me to act, or refrain from
acting in any matter because any con
tribution had been made or withheld.
"Gentlemen, could I put It more sweep-
lnglyj"
W In these words. Colonel Roosevelt sum
marlzed his testimony today at the close
of the first part of his bearing before
the Clapp committee of the -senate In
vestigating committee,
The colonel specifically denied that he
ever asked for contributions, to his 1901
campaign fund; or that he bad knows
of any contribution by 3 P. Morgan.
To those unequivocable statements Col
onel Roosevelt added again that ha had
ordered the return to the Standard Oil
company of any , contribution It might
have made in 1904; and, that he did not
veueve worneuua a. suss naa ever ae
manded a contribution from John D.
Archbold or from any corporation by
any methods of extortion. -
Colonel Roosevelt did not deny that cor
porations had contributed to the 1304 cam
paign. He said his letters and published
statements had always acknowledged
that fact, but he specified that no such
contributions had ever been obtained un
der any suggestion that the administra
tion would reward the givers with special
favors.
Colonel Roosevelt testimony bristled
with characteristic statement.
"Senator Penrose should be driven from
thesnate," he declared, "because of i
acknowledged friendliness with Standard
gressman Bartbold should be forced to
prove their statements that the Roose
velt primary campaign funds this year
had amounted to S3.000.000 or $4,000,009 or
should be driven out of public life." ..
He declared as had Senator Dixon, his
campaign manager. Wednesday, , that the
senate committee's activities .had thus
far been directed solely toward the
Roosevelt campaign' funds' and ' that' no
attention had been paid to other candi
dates. He was assured by Senator Clapp-
that the representative of other, candi
dates would all be called "before elec
tion." '
Corridors Are Crowded.
Several hundred people were lined up In
the corridors of the building two hours
before the time set for the hearing, hop
ing to get into the little committee, room,
with its capacity for about 100. Hun.
-dreds of others packed the doorways and
surrounded the buildings to see Colonel
Roosevelt enter. Beats had been reserved
by Chairman Clapp for . Qeorge. .Reld..
ustralian high commissioner, and Lady
Held, who bad been Roosevelt hosts
abroad.
A murmur of applause, culminating in
a cheer, greeted Colonel Roosevelt aa he
entered the building about five minutes
before the time set for his appearance.
Hs forced hi way through the crowds In
the corridors with some difficulty and
found his way to Senator Clapp' private
r'oom. There he met the member of the
committee. The crowd continued to grow,
end every door of the big room was sur
rounded by an anxious crowd.
Colonel Roosevelt learned this morning
that Governor Hadley of Missouri . bad
declared in favor of President Taft He
would make no comment upon the gov
emor"s action.
opinion upon the nomination of Congress
man Bulser aa democratic candidate' for
governor of New York, ...
"I havs nothing-to say upon any sab.
Ject," said the colonel.
Greeted with Applause.
' The' spectators applauded rigorously as
Colonel Roosevelt entered the room, fol
lowed by a secretary lugging a big valise
filled with paper.' The colonel took hi
place In the witness chair and the sec
retin with the big grip between his
knee seated himself beside him.
"You were a candidate for president in
1904?" asked Senator Clapp,
"I was," answered the colonel shortly.
Senator Clapp asked Colonel Roosevelt
