As the dollars are not rolling I'm M

quarters, In fact not nearly enough

OF contributions from corporation
magnates is obvious. The call from
Maine for money To get the vote
ont and rally the disheartened
standpatters or that state. has been
so insistent that a large fund has
been found necessary. IL has ALWAYS
been the rule OF republican cam
paign managers that $4,000 is re-
quired on the average In each close
congressional district, which Is hut
httle more than 50 for each repub-
hcan voter. AS there are at least
ll2 congressional districts that are
debatable. II will require $500. 900

this large sum coming from, IL not
from those who expect the republican
congress To stand pat' on the tar
IN and thus protect the trusts: from
the railroad magnates. who also ex
pect lenient treatment from congress
and the administration from the
money power and Wall street inter
ests who are constantly asking favors
from the administration through ma
nipulation OF the fiscal AFFAIRS OF the
government.
The republican politicians have
never failed to get all the money
needed TO perpetuate them I'm mower
and IL will doubtless again be forth
coming even though the tainted
funds OF the life Insurance companies
are not now so freely distributed az
was the case two years ago. The
republicans cannot run campaigns
without money. their speakers are
not active. the vote falls on, and de-
feat is certain In close districts or
states
The democrats can get along with
one hundredth part of the money the
republicans require. Their work ia
accomplished by volunteers and
enough money To hire halls and ad-
vertise meetings. is as much as they
expect. and that is nearly always
raised locally. The democratic con
gressional committee with $4,000
to cover the whole field would think
themselves well provided N they had
more they could use II to pay speak
ers expenses. who otherwise are un-
able to leave their own localities.
They could print and distribute more
documents and hire vehicles to bring
voters to the polls. that otherwise
might be stay-at-homes.
So IT will he seen that money is q
great factor with the republican cam
paign managers and dollar sub
scriDtions is but a blum to hide the
collection and disbursement of funds
from other sources.
