"The present socalled labor strikes.

Gary.
Mr. Gary deprecated class legisla-

have existed In other countries.
Labor" Used As Cloak.
In America he said those who are
seeking to establish classes are
composed of a comparatively small
minority of the population who have
adopted the word "labor with the
concealed design of forming a class
which they hope finally will attract
a majority of the people and thus en-
able them to obtain legislation
which would ultimately destroy the
constitution.
"These men have already proenred
certain legislation; which is wrong-
fully discriminating." Mr. Gary said.
"Some of them know what the final
consequence of their designs must be-
that all would be lost in the ruins
but immediate gain Is to them suffi

Senate Committee Seeking
M'Adoo's "Invisible" Boom
By DAVID IiAWTtBXCE. i
WASHINGTON. D. C May 28
William Cooper Procter's $500.-
000 contribution to the campaign
fund of Leonard Wood stirred fond
recollections here today in the minds
of many friends of president Wilson
who pointed out that another $500000
contributed just ten years ago this
month In another cause had as ranch
Lto do with electing Wood row Wilson
10 tne presidency as any otner cir-
cumstance in his political journey to
the white house.
Turned Down by Wilson.
Mr. Proctor gave J500.000 in 1910
toward the establishment of a gradu-
ate school in Princeton university of
which Mr. Wilson was then the presi-
dent but the latter turned the gift
down because the Cincinnati soap
manufacturer attached conditions to
the expenditures of the money which
Involved the retention of certain per-
sonnel in the college.
Mr. Wilson argued that the gifts
should come without strings attached
and the incident provoked such a con-
troversy among Princeton alumni
that it led Mr. Wilson reluctantly to
resign the presidency of the college
and accept the gubernatorial nomina-
tion which the Democratic leaders in
New Jersey were eager for him to
take.
Again and again that $500000 has
been facetiously referred to among
Princeton men as the "first impor-
tant contribution" toward Mr. Wil-
son's first campaign for the presidency-
Mr. Proctor's testimony in
defence of his expenditures for Gen.
Wood did not create the impression
that he contributed large sums of
money for any selfish purpose.
4 Gave to nughes. Too.
He contributed heavily to the
Hughes campaign in 1018. Cross ex-
amination on the staand rather 'led
to the conclusion of disinterested ob-
servers that Mr Proctor is the kind
of man who was persuaded by ardent
and enthusiastic friends of Gen. Wood
that he ought to use his fortune to
help advance the candidacy of so vig-
orous a character as Gen. Wood.
Of course the game of roping men
of wealth Into the political campaigns
Is an art In itself and in every ease
the "patriotic opportunity" offered
the man of means is emphasized
rather than any suggestion of per-
sonal advantage in the form of po-
litical office.
On the other hand. It has been cus-
tomary for successful candidates to
the presidency not to forget some of
the wealthiest contributors to their
campaign funds either in ambassa-
dorships or cabinet posts.
Lowden Spends Own Money.
The bold action of governor Low-
den of Illinois in spending consider-
able money to be nominated but
spending it out of his own pocket
rather than be under obligations to
any individual or group of individu-
als is a marked contrast to the
method -in which the Wood campaign
has been conducted though the gen-
eral is not wealthy and. was desoad
ent entirely on the volwrtary contri-
butions of Interested friends.
The general himself doesn't solicit
campaign contributions. Few candi-
dates ever do. It is when the men
around a prospective candidate do
the soliciting for funds that embar-
rassing promises are made.
President Wilson found after the
first campaign In 1912 that some of
his managers had promised jobs and
certain courses of action of which he
had no knowledge with the result
that the president-elect met some bit-
ter feeling Inside his own party some
of the grudges still remaining.
Innuendo Is Spread.
The whole effort of the investigat-
ing committee of the senate is to
show that tfae various candidates for
the presidency are being backed by
Individuals or private Interests who
will have a string on the next presi-
dent of the United States. Of course
there is no proof that such is the
case even of the largest contributors
but it is within the power of a con-
gressional committee to spread in
nuendos. just the same.
The Kenyon investigating commit-
tee gets plenty of publicity. The re-
porters attend en masse. Questions
are asked which would provoke libel
suits if asked outside of congress by

What he neglected to add was that
in spite of his general's commission
he remained in business Just the same

the chick peas trade n Mexico. The
peas are exported to Spain where
"garbanzos as they are called is an
article of common consumption.
The same enemies assert that all
the farmers in Mexico are obliged to

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS.
WASHINGTON D. C May 28 The
campaign Investigating com-
mittee made further efforts to-
day to get light on what chairman
Kenyon described as "this invisible
McAdoo boom." Angus W. McLean
of North Carolina a director of the
war finance corporation was exam-
ined. He denied that he was "3 sort of
southern manager" for Mr. McAdoo's
campaign and attempted to read a
prepared statement.
Reed Is Insistent.
"I know there Is a McAdoo cam-
paign." interjected senator Reed.
Democrat. Missouri. "I move we go
ahead with this witness with some
questions and let the statement go
until we find out why this secrecy."
Mr. McLean declared he did not
know there was a McAdoo headquar-
ters In Washington or In the Penn-
sylvania hotel. New York and that
he was not Informed as to the source
of McAdoo literature sent to Demo
cratic delegates. He finally recounted
a conversation with Mr. McAdoo as
to the North Carolina delegation.
Conversation Is Described.
"1 told Mr. McAdoo there was an
overwhelming sentiment in my state
for him." he said. "I told him we
were having a primary down there
and that his name would go In
whether he liked It or not. bat that
we would be In an absurd situation
If we were voting for a man who
would not take the nomination.
"He said he was not a candidate.
wouldn't turn his hand over to get
the nomination and OMn t want nis
mends to take any action about It-
He did. however say that if the
nomination waa tendered him a man
could not decline.
Take Bull by Horns."
"Some of his friends thought he
ought to take the bull by the horns
and go ahead whether he wanted
them or not. There was some sort
of a dinner party up in New York
about It and some fool went and toM
him about lt-
"Who wa sthereT chairman Kenyon
asked.
"Well Mr. Boper." Mr. McLean
said referring to the former collec-
tor of internal revenue "and some
others."
The witness added that later
"some of Mr. McAdoo's friends were
pretty mad about it."
Senator Reed Apologixes.
"Do you know anything about plans
to use the Liberty loan publicity cam-
paign organization for McAdoo r
asked chairman Kenyon
"I do not."
"J want to apologue rr being
rough with you." senator Reed put
in. "I'm glad some man Is letting the
presidency seek him not chasing It."
"If there ever was a rabbit Mr.
McAdoo is It" returned Mr. McLean.
The witness said he had talked to
Bernard M. Bantch.
"Both of us agreed thmt Mr. Mc-
Adoo would be a good man." he said.
"My own idea was wa ought to lay
back and see what the Republicans
did. Of course our delegation from
North Carolina will support senator
