HAVE YOU SENT YOUR DOLLAR?
TO REPUBLICANS:

We are anxious to have every Re publican in close touch, and work ing in harmony with the Republican National Congressional Committee in favor of the election of a Republican Congress.
 The Congressional campaign must be based on the administrative and legislative record of the party, and, that being so, Theodore Roosevelt's personality must be a central figure and his achievements a central thought in the campaign.
 We desire to maintain the work of this campaign with popular subsCrip- tiOns of One Dollar each from Repub- Iicans. To each subscriber we will send the Republican National Cam paign Text Book and all documents issued by the Committee.
