tbii-aga Tribune-Omaha jyre Leased Wire.
Washington, Sept. 24. How four
assistants to Attorney General Pal
mer and the assistant to Secretary of
Agriculture feredith, both of them
candidates for the democratic prcsi
nomination, found their way
to San Francisco at the time of the
democratic national convention on
"official business" and at governmcit
expense was disclosed to the senate
campaign fund investigating' commit
tee yesterday.
Vouchers were produced by the au
ditors of the Justice and Agricultural
departments to show that these five
'government officials were in San
Francisco throughout the democratic
convention, returning to Washington
immediately thereafter, and 'hat their
railroad expenses and subsistence
were paid by the government on
vouchers duly sworn to by the men
themselves, who declared under oath
that the nature of their business at
the time oLthe San Francisco con
vention was "governmenriusiness."
Occupied Drawing Room.
In one of the vouchers that of At-
' torney General Palmer's private sec
retary, was a Pullman charge from
San Francisco to New York of. $131,
which members of the committee
conjectured must, 'have been for a
drawing room, the'auditor of the De
partment of Justice suggesting that
f ibis charge might have been for At
l torney General Palmer himself, inas
much as the man who made the
voucher "always traveled with the
attorney general.1'
The disclosures and -apparent tan
ure to develop any pressing govern
nient business in San Francisco at
the time prompted Senator Reed,
democratic member of the commit
tee, to declare:
rive vmciais invuivcu. ,
"If these men went to the San
Francisco convention on govern
ment orders and at government ex
pense, and were really not on gtov
crnment business, but the business
of presidential candidates, they
should be cashiered, and so should
their superiors, who approved the
vouchers for these expenditures.
The five government officials in
volved in this testimony which the
committee proposes to inquire into
further, Were the following: .
Floyd R. Harrison, assistant to
Secretary of Agriculture Meredith.
Frank K. Ncbeker, assistant attor
ney general. .
George M. Montrose, examiner oi
titles, Department of JusticrTvaiyl
private secretary to Attorney Gen
eral Palmer.
J. Edgar Hocwer, .special assistant
to the attorney general.,
Another important witness or uir
y was Robert f. scripps, eaitor oi
benpps newspapers, one oi inc.
sons of R. W. ScriDOS. who was re
lieved from military service during
he -war after the decisions of the
draft boards against his release from
service had been appealed to Wash
ington. He testified that the
Scripps newspapers were supporting
Governor Cox tor the presidency e
cause they believed him to be more
progressive than Senator-' Harding,
and detailed to" the committee how
the company was sending every day
to all of its clients,' a page of mat
ter devoted to the interest of the
Cox campaign. x
Exempted From Draft.
"Did Governor Cox have anything
to do with getting you exempted
from the draft?" Senator Reed
asketkhim. .
Scripps replied -that he dia not
know of any, but admitted that hp
was exempted from the draft in 1917.
He admitted that ' he had recently
seen published the copy of a letter
written by Governor Cox to the edi
tor of one, of the Scripps papers,
which was forwarded to Washington
and appears in the files of the War
department - in the Scripps draft ap
peal case. "'In this letter Mr. Cox
made special plea in the interest of
exemption for James G. Scripps.
. hrnthor rf Rnbprt. statinc that his
retention to the Scripps news syn
dicate during the war -was essential.
Phitander P. Claxton. United
States commissioner of education,
.called to explain circulation of demo
cratic propaganda in "School Life,"
a government publication, admitted
that an editorial favoring jEovernor
Cox had been published, but that he
had tried to stop its publication,
when he discovered that it had been
written by a new editor of the paper.
Mr. Claxton said that Ne had been
away from Washington. When he
returned he asked for the proof
i sheets of , the paper; They were
handed to him and he at- once dis
covered that the Cox editorial was of
a character which should not be
published in a government paper.
