In Cook County, Illinois, where Kelly and Nash carried the New Deal banner, 450 men were employed in one election district and dismissed the day after election. Seventy reported to do highway work and were told to go to their voting precincts and canvass for votes for the Horner­Courtney­Lucas ticket. These 450 men cost $23,268. All of them had their work­cards initialed by the campaign manager in Northern Illinois for the Horner­Courtney­Lucas ticket.

This investigation covered four states. There is not the slightest doubt, however, that what happened in these four states of Kentucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania and Illinois, happened in greater or lesser degree in most of the states of the Union. These actions were done by men in the field while [[Harry Hopkins]], who headed the program, denied all charges. But the Senate investigating committee still adhered to its findings.  It called attention to an address made by Aubrey Williams, Hopkins' chief deputy administrator, at a WPA conference on June 27, 1938, in which he said: "We've got to stick together; we've got to keep our friends in power."
