Mr. DART. In the town of Newton, people by the name of DayI paid them.

Senator POMERENE. Give the full name and the residence, if you can, and the amount that was given them.

Mr. DART. You see, that is what bothers me- -just the amount. Senator POMERENE. Give it as nearly as you can.

Mr. DART. But those people in there-I think I paid them from $3 to $5 apiece; some of them $3 and some of them $5.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Give the names of all that you remember. Mr. DART. There were two of the Days; just which one I do not know.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Two Days?

Mr. DART. I paid two of the Days; one was August Day, and the other one was-I forget his name.

Senator POMERENE. What did you pay them for?

Mr. DART. To take their team and fetch in a bunch at the primary: fetch them in to the polls.

Senator POMERENE. Was that any particular "bunch," or was it the voters generally in the precinct?

Mr. DART. They were at the corner of that township. Out in the country districts, you know, they are in bunches-the neighborhood. They were

Senator POMERENE. Give us the names of somebody else.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. You were going to say "they were" what? Mr. DART. They were all for Stephenson; but the trouble was we were afraid they would not come out, you know. They would not unless somebody took their team and fetched them in.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. And that is what you employed these two men for?

Mr. DART. I thought that was the only thing to do.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Go right along and give the Senator the names of all you can now remember. That is what you want, is it not, Senator?

Senator POMERENE. Yes.

Mr. DART. In Harrisville there were four or five fellows there. I can not give the names.

Senator POMERENE. Give the names of any of them.
Mr. DART. Albert Frank.

Senator POMERENE. How much did you pay him?

Mr. DART. I think I paid for a box of cigars and gave him either $3 or $5.

Senator POMERENE. Anyone else?

Mr. DART. There was a miller there.

Senator POMERENE. Before going to that, tell me for what you employed Frank.

Mr. DART. Frank was going to send out word to his brothers to come, be sure to have them come in to the primary.

Senator POMERENE. You paid him $3 or $5 for that?

Mr. DART. I paid him about $2, I think.

Senator POMERENE. You paid him $2 for that?

Mr. DART. Yes; and I bought a box of cigars to leave there so that he could give the boys a cigar when they came in.

Senator POMERENE. In addition to that, if I understand you correctly, you paid him $3 or $5; and now you say $2.

Mr. DART. I paid him for the box of cigars, probably $3, and paid him $2 to take a rig and send out after his brothers, to come in on the the primary day.

Senator POMERENE. You spoke of a man by the name of Miller. Mr. DART. No; he was a miller; I do not know his name.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. He was a miller by occupation?

Mr. DART. He ran a gristmill.

Senator POMERENE. Whom else did you employ?

Mr. DART. A man that runs a sawmill there. His name is Lee, I think-oh, no; Smith.

Senator POMERENE. What is his first name?

Mr. DART. Theodore Smith.

Senator POMERENE. How much did you pay him?

Mr. DART. I think $5.

Senator POMERENE. For what was that?

Mr. DART. That was to do what he could on primary day. Senator POMERENE. That is, to get in voters and talk up Stephenson sentiment?

Mr. DART. Talk it over; yes.

Senator POMERENE. Anybody else?

Mr. DART. There is one saloon keeper there. His name is Otto Giese. I think I paid for a box of cigars there.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. How much did you pay him?

Mr. DART. Three dollars, or something of that kind. That is what they usually charged-about $3.

Senator POMERENE. Anybody else?

Mr. DART. Over in Crystal Lake-I can not remember their names, but I paid two or three different men there.

Senator POMERENE. How much?

Mr. DART. Three dollars and five dollars, each one of them.
Senator POMERENE. The rate was from $3 to $5?

Mr. DART. Using their teams, you know, and bringing voters in.

That is what I paid the most of them.

Senator POMERENE. Can you give any of their names?

Mr. DART. Let's see. I can not think of that old fellow's name. He has been chairman of that town for years.

Senator POMERENE. Anyone else?

Mr. DART. Over to Neshkoro.

Senator POMERENE. Whom did you employ there?

Mr. DART. A liveryman.

Senator POMERENE. What was his name?

Mr. DART. His name was Scovey.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. What is his given name?

Mr. DART. I think the name is Andrew. There are two brothers of them in the livery business.

Senator POMERENE. How much did you give them?
Mr. DART. I think I gave these fellows $10.

Senator POMERENE. Did you employ anyone else?

Mr. DART. I went from there over to Red Granite, and saw a lot of them up in Waushara County-quite a bunch. There are a lot of quarries up in there, and I stopped at all the quarries, and

Senator POMERENE. Whom did you employ?

Mr. DART. I do not know their names, all of them.

Senator POMERENE. How many?

Mr. DART. Probably three or four at each quarry.
Senator POMERENE. What did you pay them?

Mr. DART. Three dollars to five dollars-$3 or $5: I do not know which.

Senator POMERENE. Did you contribute any particular sum to a Stephenson fund?

Mr. DART. A Stephenson fund?

Senator PоMERENE. Yes.

Mr. DART. No.

Senator POMERENE. At no time? Did you aid in the raising of any funds for the Stephenson campaign?

Mr. DART. For the Stephenson campaign?

Senator POMERENE. Yes.

Mr. DART. No, sir.

Senator POMERENE. You aided in disposing of them?

Mr. DART. I spent what I got.

Senator POMERENE. I think that is all.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Mr. Dart, have you given to the Senator the names of all of the men that you now remember to whom you gave sums of money for these purposes?

Mr. DART. Oh, I could think of more than that.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Go right ahead and give us the names of all that you can now remember.

Mr. DART. There were a few down in the town of Megan. There was John Wagner; I gave him $5; and a fellow by the name of Bill Ming, and Louis Zellmer.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. How much, if you remember?

Mr. DART. Those fellows--either from $2 to $5.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Go right along.

Mr. DART. There were certainly more than that, but I can not think of them. There is one man out in the township of Montello whose name is Callahan; I gave him $5.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Do you remember Scovey brothers?

Mr. DART. I gave that-Andrew Scovey.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Do you remember any others now?

Mr. DART. No; not now.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. State whether the men that you employed in that way were or were not friends of Senator Stephenson.

Mr. DART. You bet they were, or else they would not have got anything.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. You spoke of some quarries at Red Granite. What quarries are those-granite quarries?

Mr. DART. Yes; red granite, they call it. They crush stone and make paving mostly. There are a lot of workmen through there. There are several different quarries.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. They crush up stone for macadamizing roads? Mr. DART. Yes; they are shipping it everywhere, and making paving. Most of the foremen who were running those quarries-I knew all those fellows. I went in to see them, you know.

Mr. Littlefield. When you were on this trip, were you using a carriage or an automobile?

Mr. DART. No; I had a team.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Did you have a team of your own?

Mr. DART. Yes; I had my own team; that I charged up to the State; and when I drove any nights, I paid that out of Stephenson money.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. During any part of this time were you discharging any of your duties as game warden also?

Mr. DART. All the time; every day.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. What were you doing as game warden during this time?

Mr. DART. I forget just what the complaints were; but I was out on some complaints, protecting the game.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. I am not at all familiar with the method of business. You speak of complaints. What are those complaints of violation of the game laws?

Mr. DART. Yes, sir.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. And when complaints are made, is it the duty of the deptuty game warden to visit the locality and investigate the complaint?

Mr. DART. Yes; that is what we always tried to do.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Is that one of the principal duties of the game wardens?

Mr. DART. Yes; and to visit other places where you know of any violations.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. You yourself are on the lookout for violations, and then you take cognizance of complaints that are made to you? Mr. DART. Yes, sir.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Is that right?

Mr. DART. That is right.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. And do I understand that during the daytime. you say you were engaged in your work as a game warden at this time?

Mr. DART. Yes. When I put that $400 in I was out on a trip; I went around, I think, three or four days.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. You have given us, you say, all the details you can give in relation to the names of the men and the amounts paidall that you can now remember?

Mr. DART. Yes. I do not think I gave them all to you, but I can not remember any more.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Are you confident that you disbursed the whole $400?

Mr. DART. Oh, yes.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. For those purposes?

Mr. DART. Oh, yes; I spent the money. I put it all in.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. I will ask you whether or not, in disbursing this sum of money under the circumstances which you have described, you used any part of it, either directly or indirectly, for the purpose of bribing or curruptly influencing any of the electors to vote on the primary election day for Senator Stephenson?

Mr. DART. Oh, no; no.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. I will ask you whether or not, so far as you know, any of the sums that were thus disbursed by you were used by the people to whom you disbursed the money, either directly or indirectly, for the purpose of bribing or corruptly influencing electors to vote for Senator Stephenson in the primary election?

Mr. DART. No.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. That is all.

The CHAIRMAN. The witness will be here on Tuesday. You are excused until Tuesday.

TESTIMONY OF H. A. BOWMAN.

H. A. BOWMAN, having been previously sworn, was examined and testified as follows:

The CHAIRMAN. Where do you reside?

Mr. BOWMAN. Genesee, Wis.

The CHAIRMAN. Where did you reside during the year 1908 ?
Mr. BOWMAN. Genesee, Wis.

The CHAIRMAN. What position, if any, did you hold during that time?

Mr. BOWMAN. Deputy game warden.

The CHAIRMAN. Did you support Senator Stephenson for the nomination at the direct primary?

Mr. BOWMAN. I did.

The CHAIRMAN. When did you commence to support him?

Mr. BOWMAN. As soon as he announced his candidacy, I think. The CHAIRMAN. Did you receive any money from Senator Stephenson's campaign managers during the time that you were supporting him?

Mr. BOWMAN. I received $150 from the headquarters in Milwaukee and $1,250 from J. W. Stone.

The CHAIRMAN. You received $150 about the middle of August? Mr. BOWMAN. I think it was all received about that time; yes, sir. The CHAIRMAN. What did you do with the $150 that you received from Mr. Edmonds out of the Stephenson campaign fund?

Mr. BOWMAN. I think that was given to Robert Clark.

The CHAIRMAN. All of it?

Mr. BOWMAN. I think so; yes, sir.

The CHAIRMAN. Who was Robert Clark.

Mr. BOWMAN. I am not sure whether he was a game warden at that time, or whether he quit shortly before that.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Please give us the address of Robert Clark.

Mr. BOWMAN. Palmyra at that time; but I think he is now in Fort Atkinson.

Mr. LITTLEFIELD. Is that in Wisconsin ?

Mr. BOWMAN. Yes, sir.

The CHAIRMAN. For what purpose did you give it to Clark?

Mr. BOWMAN. To use in the interest of Senator Stephenson's primary campaign.

The CHAIRMAN. Were you instructed by Edmonds or anyone to give it to Clark?

Mr. BOWMAN. No; I do not think I was really instructed by Edmonds.

The CHAIRMAN. Why did you turn it over to Clark?

Mr. BOWMAN. I had a talk with Mr. Edmonds about Jefferson County. He asked me if I knew any good worker in Jefferson County, and I think I remember mentioning the name of Mr. Clark. The CHAIRMAN. Then he really gave you the money to be paid to Mr. Clark, did he?

Mr. BOWMAN. That is the way I took it; yes, sir.
