,9. On the testimony given today before the United Statea senate committee, which is Investigating charges that (corruption contributed to the election of Senator Isaac Stephenson, was de veloped evidence that the Stephenson campaign regarded $107,793, admittedly expended for the campaign tor nomination, small compared to $150,000 or $200,009, which might have been spent for a campaign more systematically conducted. Tho statement from ltodney Sack-ett, one of the Stephenson campaign managers, that $1.10,000 or $200,000 might legitimately have been spent for the senatorial nomination brought forth comment from Senator Atlee Pomerene, of Ohio, a member of the committee. "If $107,000 Is not enough to nominate a United tates senator in Wisconsin, how much is? and what could you do with $200,000 legitimately to sec ure tot a man a position with a $7,500 annual salary?" asked Senator Pomerene." "We could have been more systematic." answered Hackett, "There ar approximately 400,000 republicans in the state. Had we the money we should have personally canvassed each voter.

This estimate would have cost from $150,000 to $200,000. As it was with our means limited to a little over $100,000, we eould not aee each voter and had to get along the best we could." Answerlng question bearing directly on the charges against Senator Stephenson, Sackett testified: money out of Senator Stephenson's fund had been given to state officials as in the Instance, of State flame Warden jj. fW, Stone, who was given to' work up.actitineht in favor of the senU.tor, 1 1 'That money 'was. paid to candidates for office, In tho case of sev--n "candidates for the legislature, three of whom were elected. Although' the three men elected iiftetwiird.

Vot ed for Senator Htephvnson tht wltnesa said it was not known when the mnn ey was given them that they were candidates. "That no complete detailed nc; counts of the. campaign expenses wero kept'nnd that all records of the com uaiiga: were The assertion that part Of Senator Stephenson heuvy expenses were due to his desire to make It generally known that he was a supporter of Mr. Taft for the presidency cume when Sackett, In explaining an advertising hill of $12,6911, was required to pro duce before tho committee one of tho advertisements. "We want to know the text of the literature for which the money was spent," said Senator iUeyburn, the chairman.

The witness rend the following ns being typical: "Vote for Pm'le Jke, Wisconsin's Grand Old Man. Senator Stephenson Is a candidate to succeed himself in the senate. He Is a life-long republican, always faithful to the party and always in sympathy with the progressive spirit. All his votes In the senate were in line with the ltoose-velt ideas. 1 The Roosevelt policies must be carried to final success by the election of Mr.

Taft As Governor Hoard puts it, never swap horses in the middle of the stream. The re publicans of Wisconsin must do their share as they can best nerve thler Interests and these of their party by sending back to Senate Isaac Stephen son. 1115 Oil But Where Are the Ninety-and-Nine CALIFORNIA VOTES WHOOP BY Large -and Enthusiastic Crowd Attends Opening of Week of Fun and Frolic By William Mills, SPLENDID WEATHER AIDS TO MAKE BIG SUCCESS Fast and Furious Program of Amusements Today With Aviation Exhibitions On Program Tomorrow, OFFICIAL PROGRAM FOR TODAY. ti kshav, ocroiiKlt in, ton.

Taft's speech of the day was delivered at Belllngham. He predict-ed tha opening for traffic of the Pannma canal by July 1, said that Canada was going to be aorry she had not adopted tho reciprocity treaty, and talked for a few minutes about conservation. In speaking of the opening of the Panama oanal, tho president said he would let the people of Belllngham "into a little official confidence."

PKESI1)ET fXR PIUnUUKsS IX ALASKA. Seattle, Ocu Prealdent Taft faced here tonight one of the largest and by far the most enthusi astic und responsive audience ho has met on any of his recent travels. He wax greeted with prolonged cheers and constantly was interrupted witn ourstg ot applause. The president discussed a variety of subjects Including the relation of government to business, tariff vetoes and Alaska, the last subject of vital interest here. He declared that Alaska should have at least a semi-governing body.

Two years ago Mr. Taft advocated here a straight corn-misson form of government for the territory, declaring' the population not stable enough for a full meanurt of self control. "That proposition haa not met approval," said Mr. Taft. "I still think it the better way, but the man who stands on a dogmatic statement and says and never consents to a violation of that principle, makes no progress.

1 am willing to make a concession for a partly ek-ctive and partly appointive form of government In Alaska. "Congress cannot make tho necessary laws for Alaska. Alaska must have a btcal body. In bringing thia about I hope there will bo no politico played. 1 hope the two housea of congress will- unite In bringing about a change that will result In the e-velnpment of Alaska and making that territory valuable to itself and valuable to all mankind.

Is as much at the mercy of the brigand followers of F.miliano Zapata as at any time during the revolution, according to advices received by the minister of the Interior today. In spite of a three months' campaign against them, the outlaws override the rural districts, robbing plantations and sacking towns at will.

Counsel for both sides agreed that this short cut saved days of arduous work, one of the three men whi failed to respond is dead, another it, Kuropo and the third is out of the county, Whichever man goes on trial Wednesday the defense, It was said tonight, would be the same that the Times building was destroyed by gas and lire and not by dynamite and fire. Out beyond the hills north of t( v. there has been conducted a secret explosion experiment station, whole repeated discharges of gas and dynamite have plowed up the earth in order that any difference in the action of the explosives might be shown.

The structure is a model or the Ios Angeles Times building, with one side cut away to show tiny printing presses, linotype presses and all the machinery or a great newspaper orrice.

IfilOSIGELES the Platform Tho platform adopted by the republican convention at Las Veas, upon hlch H. nursum Is ostensibly making his eampiflgn for governor. Is. an Interesting document, in view ot the records or the men who drew it up and adopted it in the effort to film flam the confiding voter. This platform was presented by that eminent progressive and reformer, friend of honest elections and pure government, the Honorable Thomas Benton Catron.

Some of its provisions arc worth taking up In detail. In glancing over it we note the following: TIk- lroit, "We believe in an efficient system of public education to the end that tha youth of our state shall ever enjoy the best possible opportunities to educate and fit themselves for the proper and wise discharge of the duties of citizenship. We pledge the republican party to the maintenance of the highest and most efficient standard of public schools." Tlic Practice. The man who is running for state superintendent of schools on this platform is Andrew B. Strottp of Bernalillo county.

Andrew B. Slroup is the personal candidate of Francisco Hubbell. He gave his support to the attempted Hubbell seixure of the county onwnlwition here in return for Francisco's promise that he should have the nomination. To do this Mr. Stronp renounced the forces of good Rov-erimient in this county and openly espoused the cause of Uubbellism with all that it means in public life.

Mil. STllOFP is thus Mlt. HCBBKIX'S CANDIDATE. You know IIiibbcH's record as an educator In this county, you have recently heard how the ex-boss maintained his hold on the voters through the public schools. You know the kind of school methods he stands for.

You remember the large sums of school money Mr. Hubbell was forced by the courts to return to the treasury. You remember the padded school visits, the $2,10 school desks, the office furniture, the ruined school houses, the short terms and the spy system. You reincmlier the LOOTED SCHOOL Fl'XD. Mr.
