"Wo have no such IntsnUon. and
have no ouch preparations.” Mr.
Butler said- "Wo have no ability to
do .it. Wo have no funds for purposes
of that kind. There is no intention of
doing anything of the sort. 1 want
very much to conduct this campaign
in such a way that when I got
through tt will be something to bo
proud of."
Under a gruelling cross-examina-
tion by Senator Carraway (Depn.),
Arkansas, regarding the budget plans
of his committee, Mr. Butler testi-
fied that originally he had octimat-
,ed 82,500,000 as the amount that
would be required for the national
presidential campaign. This sum
was increased by 8500.000 Uster, he
added, after it had been decided to
,take care of the senatorial and con-
gressional campaigns as well. Call-
ing attention that evidence before
‘the committee was that the Republi-
can organisation' already had collect-
ed approximately 81.100,000, Senator
Caraway asked if it was expected tr
i collect an additional 81,300,000.
“Yes," Mr. Butler replied.
"What are your plans for collect-
ing ttt” asked the Senator.
"Nothing, except the solicitations
which are going on all over the
country among our friends tor
funds," was the reply. "There is no
special plan."
Pressed by the Arkansas Senator,
