THE MICHIGAN DAILY . AFOLLETTE SAYS SLUSH FUND EXISTS ' ''ers Offcial WesO a SIGMADELTAHIMS Will Retire Soon fa..a.* .. . ._ . S luater, Speaking in 1etroit, Results of Corrupt Practices Fears LETTER QUESTIONED Detroit, Mich., Oct. 9.-(By A. P.) -Sentator Robert M. LaFollette, In- dependent presidential candidate de- chred here tonight in his first cam- paign speech in the middle west that "the use of money in doubtful states is only one of the methods by which the Republican national committee and its financial supporters are striv- ing to save their candidates from ut- ter defeat.." "Far more insidious, far more cor- rupt in its ultimate social conse- quences," he added, " is the use of the financial and economic power of bus- iness interests to intimidate and co- erce citizens who are giving their support to the Progressive ticket. This pressure is being brought to bear upon business men, home own- ers, borrowers and employers-upon every class of citizen whose economic positions enables the powerful inter- ests to apply the thumbscrew." Declaring that the Senate commit- tee on campaign expenditures which he has requested to make an investi- gation of the "slush fund" charge is "not a white washing committe," the Wisconsin senator said he was con- fident that "when the Borah commit- tee turns the searchlight upon the transactions of the Republican na- tional committee, Mr. Butler will be far less placid about the use of slush funds for campaigning purposes than he is today." "At my leisure today," continued the Senator, "I have been re-examin- ing the wonder letter through which the $600,000 fund for the state of Pennsylvania is being solicited. I have noticed an interesting fact. I find that according to the letter head the territory assigned to Mr. Grundy's committee is specifically defined as 'outside Pittsburgh dis- trict.'" "What does this mean? Why has Pittsburgh, the stronghold of the steel trust and the Mellon interests, been set aside as a special hunting ground for campaign collections? Ij want to know what the quota for this Pittsburgh district is. I want to know how much is to come from the Mellon bank and its affiliated inter- ests.."
