BY RORERTUs LOVE.

va LECTING president Of the
United States is serious prop,
III osition, with funny side lights.
You might call it serio-comic
curtain raiser for the big show that
runs four years. The curtain raiser
runs about four months.
OF course president making begins
year or more before the quadrennial
election, but the real thing starts with
the close Of the second national con-
vention This usually means the close
of the Democratic convention, which
has a habit Of being held few weeks
later than the Republican gathering.
Then we know positively who's who
in the running-two presidential candi-
dates and two vice presidential candi-
dates, one set Of whom Is sure to be
elected. But we can boil the real job
Of president making-the active CAM
paign-to q still smaller size. Both
campaign chairmen get busy about the
first of August. and from that time un-
til the November election there's some
thing doing in American politics.
Two men run the campaign, and
they are not the nominees. They are
the national chairmen. These officials
are supposed to be chosen by a vote of
the national committee of each party,
composed of one member from each
state and territory. But in reality the

What 1t Costs-Wide Scope Of the Party Chair
mans Dues-How the Money Is Spent e..

in all probability it would have been
considerably smaller and weaker If the
people had not elected Abraham Lin
coin that year. v..
How much did it cost to elect Lin
coin? Well, the late Leonard SWEET,
who ought to have known, said that
the entire cost to the Republican party
organization for Lincoln's nomination,
including Chicago convention head
quarters, kilograms, music, banners,
railroad fares of delegates and Incl
dentals, did not exceed $500. The
campaign expenses were correspond
ingly meager. Suppose Lincoln had
been defeated for reelection in 1864!
The nation actually was saved in that
most critical year at cost of about
100000 in campaign expenses.
We do things differently now. One
reason is that we are bigger, as stated.
All businesses are conducted on q
larger scale, including the business Of
president making Nowadays a dollar
does not look so big to politician as
q dime looked in Lincoln's day.

presidential nominee of each party die
tates to the committee in this matter.
The nominee chooses the man who,
according to his belief, will boss the
campaign in a manner calculated to
do the most good for the nominee.
Then Mr.. Chairman takes the reins
and runs the band wagon himself.
There is one big and bewi1dering
bunch Of work for the party chairman,
with few spot lights Of glory thrown
on the screen here and there and the
probability Of many cuffs and kicks.
Party chairmen work for love, as a
rule, though now and then one Of them
gets an Office out Of it If he lands his
man in the White House. 49,.
The first thing on the programme is
the opening Of headquarters by each
party The headquarters Offices con-
stitute the party capital for the cam
paign. From headquarters the chair
man and his assistants throw out life
lines to every state in an effort to
save the nation. "~
And what stupendous Job is the
saving Of the nation every four years!
OF course each party does the saw
ing. Republicans and Democrats alike
work like fury for three or four
months, but all the fury and all the
sound signify something. They signi-
fy that the people Of the great repub-
lie are proud Of their country and
deeply concerned in it's salvation.

Millions to Run Campaigns.
It costs lump Of cash to save this
country every four years. Somebody
has estimated that about $5,000,00
\ viii be spent in the present campaign
between the Democrats and the Re
publicans. Very likely, as heretofore
for several campaigns, the bulk of the
/. five millions will be Republican mon
ey, but you never can tell. There is
this year a new law prohibiting cor
porations from contributing to the
campaign funds. The money must
come from individuals.
How much are you contributing?

Campaign Deficiencies.

It used to be said that nobody but q
rich man should accept the job Of ma
1tional chairman in presidential cam
paign. There was reason. I'm sew
eral campaigns the money to start the
ball rolling was not in hand when the
campaign opened. It devolyed upon
one mantle chairman Of the national
committee-to supply cash for innne-
diate use out Of his own pocket and
trust to luck or love Of the cause Tor
reimbursement. Sometimes, too, at
the end of campaign there has been
a consid deficiency.
1t is said that BENJAMIN r. Jones,
chairman Of the Republican committee
In 1884, when Blaine was defeated,
paid balance due on expenses OF
500, 900 out OF his own pocket Cal
vim s. Brice, after the close Of the
campaign of 1883, when Cleveland
was beaten, is said to have produced
from his plethoric purse more than
$4,000 to settle the difference be-
tween what was collected and what
the campaign cost.
But in those days money was by no
means so "easy" as 1t Is today.

not by popular vote. Under our sys-
tenn Of state electoral votes it is quite
possible for candidate to receive
majority Of the popular vote through
out the country and yet be badly de-
feated in the race for the presidency. 4
Therefore 1t behooves the campaign
managers to pour money into the 80
called doubtful states. It appears that
the Democrats this year regard sew
eral Of the middle western, far west
ern and northern states as doubtful,
figuring that they can be carried for
the Democracy by vigorous campaign
ing. The relocation of the Republic
an national headquarters in Chicago
after offices had been rented In New
publicans also regard some Of these
same states as doubtful and propose
to carry on lively campaigns therein. i
One Of the first and most expensive
things to be done by each party man
ager Is to take voting census or poll
Of the doubtful states. IF you live In
one Of these states You may expect
very shortly to be visited by a suaye
gentleman, who VIII ask you what
party ticket you are going to vote.
Then you may expect in a few days to
receive visit from another suave
gentleman, who pops the same ques-
ton. One is working for the Demo
cratic national committee, the other
for the Republican national commit
tee. When the poll is finished the re-
suits are put on record at national
headquarters, SO that each chairman
| may see just what electoral district,
/ county or city is weak from his
standpoint. Into the weak sections
hurry and scurry the campaign dol
lars. To buy votes? oh, dear, MOI
Let's not accuse anybody Of that. Az
@ matter OF fact, there is much less Of
actual vote buying than some persons
