Senate replies on Comptroller of Currency reports
The Senate received Secretary Shaw’s copy of the Comptroller of the Currency’s reply to Senator Tillman about bank inspector reports on campaign contributions. He notes about 10 000 reports exist and apart from one or two, no contributions for political purposes since 1891. The exceptional reports concern small banks with 20 to 300 dollar transactions and lack detail. If an examiner marks unlawful fund use by officers the bank directors are warned and asked to restore the amount. Names or locations of the banks are not recalled and identifying them would take days.
