Then Mr Ryan trailed along with minor contributions to congressional campaigns he could not remember the amounts. Desiring to keep his senate seat free from criticism of money taint or corruption Albert J Beveridge returned unused in the 1904 campaign 57 500 which had been donated to him by Perkins McLean and Pinchot from testimony given by Indiana before the Clapp campaign fund investigating committee.
