Pennsylvania Primary Campaign Expenses Stir National News
The Senate campaign funds committee examined Pennsylvania spending in the Pepper Fisher slate race with about 1750000 to 2000000 accounted funds and noted charges over candidacies by Beidelman Fisher and Vare. Testimony covered forged letters and alleged payoffs, with Beidelman asserting he did not get all votes cast for him. The hearing also probed Women’s Christian Temperance Union finances linked to prohibition enforcement.
