TT Is a maxim among politicians that
 the expense of a national campaign is constantly increasing. without regard to looseness or tightness of the money market, and that what cannot be obtain ed in one way must be in another. One thing can be accomplished by the judic- ious expenditure of a few thousand dol- lars and another by a paltry office that yields nothing but honor and the glory attached to a title. But the basis of 1t all is gold, and at the outset of a cam paign the idea of the managers Is to gather a fund that will carry the organi- zation through and no more For sur plus is word never encountered in the lexicon of the politician. If lis side wins 1t needs none. and If 1t loses the surplus of the Bank of England would not com pensate for the defeat
 It is upon the chairman of the national committees that falls the burden of pro- curing the money to bear the expense of the campaign. Not that he personally passes the hat" though that was one of the activities in which the late Marcus A Hanna excelled. To him as adviser of
 
 policy, the business world looks for legis- lation or other favors; to him appear the men whose hope of reward lies in offices or contracts and his ability to weld these interests together depends to large ex- tent the size of the fund that may mean a victory at the polls.
 Behind the chairman is the treasurer and in these two alone reposes the secret of who has contributed and who has not; of the amount on hand and its distribu- tion. Between them they decide what proportion of the fund must be had from corporations; how deeply the officehold- CT may be touched" and how much the partisan who desires no direct benefit must pay.

Both parties In normal circumstances have a grip on the corporations, and while the repub- 1icans, a cartoonist recently put it. 'are busting the trusts" by depicting one pocket the democrats are buslly engaged in the same laudable pursuit on the other side. But the trusts thrive on.

As a consequence Bryans campaign chest new CT had enough to hide the nakedness of It's bottom. and the total fund was less than $2.O00,000.
