How the Money Was Raised.
In response to a toast Treasurer Shell
don said:
Il believed that the election OF Judge
Taft was a business proposition; mat
fer of the greatest importance to business
men of the country. So l put out that
letter asking for a subscription Of $50.
1t went to forty thousand business men
in every state in the Union
within three four days alter The
issuance of that letter checks began 10
pour in and The stream continued until
election day.
The list OF subscriptions fled al AL
bany included but 13,3iI subscribers but
subsequent fluctuations bring the total
number up TO IL. 600 SUBSCRIBERS 10 the ma
tional campaign fund
There were practically 10 insulting re-
plies to our letter. One South Carolnian
inclosed a fifty-dollar Confederate BILL
but George S. Terry turned the joke on
the subscriber by selling the bill and the
letter accompanying it for so.
For the first time President of the
United States goes into office without
single obligation being pledged TO any
man.
MIR Ward and Mr.. Hitchcock did not
speak as they had been promised immu-
nity in this direction. the toastnla ster tx
planned, and i'm the case of the national
chairman that official might continue
unbroEcn his policy Of silence in public
upon matters connected with his office.
