day. 1t has been fully realized that a
properly conducted campaign requires
adequate funds to pay legitimate ex-

been the subject of more or less dis
cussion ever since the nominations at
Denver were made. While it is adj.
nitted that from number of sources

been reached that the bulk of the

masses.
A sum not less than $500 is regard
ed as necessary to meet the expenses
of the campaign.
The matter was talked over at
length today by Bryan with former
