At Least Three Million Dollars
Likely to Be Raised.

New York, July 16.-The hunt is on,
No longer for candidates; but now for
cash.
george k. Sheldon has received his
commission as treasurer of the Repub-
mean national committee and along
Win II is said to have gone instruc-
tions to Immediately corral at least
$3,0O0,0O0.. To the layman in politics
and finance the sum sounds maeni-
ncently impossible. But national
committees don't pick out campaign
treasurers who can be staggered with
a rev ciphers. Four years ago Cor
menus N Bliss handled the keys to
the cash register. He was from New
YORK, where money is supposed to
grow. When Taft ct al, golfing down

Tor some time on CONGRESSMAN Me-
klnley of Illinois, himself a liberal

Along at the last minute came a mes
sage from Bliss that he was coming
with the name Of a new man TO pro-
pose Tor the job. Everybody remem-
pered that Bliss was the boy who las
soeo the miilionaireS back in the good
old days of yore AID they respected

committee; and should funds run shy,
he can even afford to make up the

Glen Cove and he reaches it by one of
the prettiest and fastest yachts on
Long Island sound. His daughter,
Miss Gertrude, is one of the leading
horsewomen of the country.

too; for by choosing a man from New
York state to be committee treasurer
the committee puts itself under the
New York publicity law, which will
require a public reckoning of all
funds which Sheldon collects and dis
burses. Candidate Taft thereby de-
monstrates his friendliness to cam
paign fund publicity, despite Denver
oratory to the contrary.

Donlin Makes 100 Hits.

Pittsburg, July 16.-Captain Nike
Doniin of the New York Giants was
the first player in either of the big
leagues to land 100 base hits this sea-
son. Captain Mike reached and pass
ed the century mark in the final
game in the New k-Pittsburg
series. In the fifth inning of that con-
test Donlin made three-bagger,
which was his one hundredth hit.
Later on in the game he made another
three-bagger, SO that his record now
is 101 hits. Last year the honor of
making 100 hits was first reached by
Hans Wagner in the National league,
while Ty Cobb took the honor in the

Joplin. Mo-, July 16.-Only the pro-

Jay Andrews of the Hutchinson club
from being mobbed Wednesday after
he had turned the game into a farce.
Joplin scored fourteen runs off West
colt and then the Hutchinson team
began kicking. Olson was put out OF
the game and Andrews took the box
and switched outfielders in the inf1eld.
He gave an outrageous exhibition in
the box and was ordered off the
grounds by Umpire Ffnney. He re-
fused to go and threw two balls over
the fence meanwhile using the most
Insulting language. The crowd surged
upon the field and rushed towards
Andrews. But police protection was
summoned and the players formed a
barricade about the Hutchinson man

Carnegie, with a check for S25O,0O0,
has already contributed. Democracy
never did shine, except in 1892, when
nearly two million and a half dollars
was collected. BY strange coincidence,
Democracy won that year. Which
does not disprove the suggestion that
money talks.
The funds this year will be smaller
than for some time past. But even
with a reduction, it still requires a
man of the caliber of Sheldon to de-
liver the goods.
Bliss got into McKinleys cabinet on
the strength of his work as treasurer.
