MONEY PLENTY FOR
GRAND OLD PARTY

Washington, March 13-According
to William H. Culver, who writes TO
the Chicago Examiner, Chairman Will
liam B. Mckinley of the republican
congressional committee returned
from New York and Immediately
thereafter the spirits of the leading
standpat and reactionary republicans
rose to height not attained in many
days.
According to reports the reason for
the good humor of the Cannon,
Tawney, Page crowd was that Mr..
Mckinley brought back word that
campaign contributions are to be
large and generous for the forthcom-
ing elections.
Certain early preliminary affairs
must be financed. For instance, Rep
resentatiye Duncan e. McKinley,s
speaking trip through the west and
Representative Joseph III. Gaines trip

ial association. Also there are other
speakers to be sent out within the

reclamation service refute several
statements attributed to Secretary
Ballinger that the reservations of GER

said, that Perkins was getting an al
