A. Sutherland. New York member of the
Republican national committee. has sent,
in substance, the following:
II am in receipt of your letter of the oath
inst, asking, first, whether i favor a short
presidential campaign next year, and, sec
ond, the reasons for my opinion.
"First-I am heartily in favor of a short
presidential campaign.
''Second-The conduct of presidential
campaign necessarily absorbs the entire
time of an army OF men recruited from the
ranks of the brightest, brainiest and most
influential citizens The prosperity of the
country must suffer in consequence of this
diversion of business energies from their
usual channels. Believing that the national
committees. both Democratic and Repub-
lican, would have ample time for such or
ganization as they require II the nominat-
ing conventions were held in September, and
that no party interests would suffer by hold
ing convention in that month rather than
May or June, think the best interests of
the country should control the action of the
national committees and lead to a short
presidential campaign next year"
