Charges and Denials in Republican Campaign Fund Probe
Archbold charges that a Standard CW company contribution to the Republican campaign fund of 196 was given with impunity from the late Cornelius N. Miles, former treasurer of the Republican Roosevelt era. The Roosevelt denial asserts no knowledge of such a contribution and disputes Archbold testimony, calling it a wicked act against a dead man. He accuses Archbold and several senators and financiers of malfeasance and urges a senate committee inquiry.
