"aldrich cornered ? - HE HAS BECOME A MILLIONAIRE I ON A SMALL SALARY. ? - -And the People of His State Want I to Know How He Made All His Money. United States Senator Nelson W. Aid rich's wealth is one of the topics discussed in the campaign in Rhode - Island. He is many times a million- ' aire and has become rich while in ' the public service. Voters in both parties want to know how he got his money. lie will be called upon to explain, even though he may he finished with politics. Should he again declare his candidacy for the senate, the pressure for an answer will he still stronger. When he entered public life his fortune was very moderate. In recent years his annual outlays are be lieved to have been as much hh the sum total of his salary for thirty years and more in congress. Besides the expenses of rearing a large family, which would have con-i sinned his stated income, ho has / maintained a sumptuous establishment at Warwick Neck, where the! . force at work on the grounds hasi been at times one hundred and fifty - men. 'He has kept in commission every . seascrn a fine steam yacht. His yearly expenses are estimated at $250,-1 000. Ex-Governor James H. Higgins has . repeatedly challenged Senator Aldrich to explain his wealth. The , ground for this demand has been that a public servant is accountable , for the acquisition of money by means that appear abnormal. If his. millions were gained legitimately, Mr. A 1.1 rich, according to . this view, can have no good reason ( for not setting himself rivlit by frank . statement. On the other hand, if they represent payment, directly or! .indirectly, for txmspicuous service over a long period for trusts and _ protected interests, the public is on-j titled to know it. Many of his own party think that, considering all the talk his wealth has made, he ought to justify himself if he can, and that failure to do so will create a presumption that it was not obtained legitimately. \s all the democrats arc strongly of the same '^pinion, oy-Oovornnv Higgins has general approval of hisj demand for an accounting. Ho will | press the demand strongly In the campaign.
