would make a Patterson or Gibbs or an O'Brien
weep. He continued: or course great deal
of money will be needed to pay the legitimate
expenses Of such campaign as this. That
money we will take care Of ourselves and there
will be no such thing as division. There have
been u great many calls for money already"
went on Mr.. Jerome significantly. Everybody,
It seems. thinks we have money TO burn, and that
all they have got to do Is to come and ask for It,"
There is no question that this very clear state

manager will fll the hearts of many gentlemen

Mr. Jerome said he didn't believe the Steck-

he said. I'VE will advertise our literature. We
lar paid advertising in the advertising counins.
In this way the literature will be circulated.
The ordinary campaign document has circula-
tOn Of perhaps $500. and few people read IL
then. Now, by our plans of having IL printed In
the newspapers. we place IL before the readers
of the CITY. IL circulates everywhere. and the
result will be fair return for the money ex-

that the one way to reach the people is through
the newspapers"
The Campaign Committee OF the Seventy will
meet every day at headquarters and discuss the
plan OF campaign.
