MILLIONS TO ELECT PRESIDENTS.

/ Some inside facts as to the cost of
electing to the presidency the candi-
dates of the Republican party in re-
cent years are given in current ar
icle alleged to have been prepared
during the late Cornelius Bliss life at
his request withheld from publication
at the time. Bliss, it will be recalled.
served as National Treasurer of the
/ Republican party for a long term, and
was thoroughly onyersant with the
sources Of revenue and the totals col
.Iected for national campaigns. From
this article it appears that many mill
lions were expended in the first Bryan
campaign. The "heTesy' Of free silver
50 thoroughly aroused and antagonized
! conservative business interests that
money poured into the Republican war
chest unsolicited and from all direc-
tons. Here are some extracts from
the article dealing with this phase Of
= American political life, They are Of
interest in view Of the fact that in the
election next year further enormous
amounts may be expended to retain
= conrol of the country:
1T was in 1904 that Judge Alton 3.
:, Parker, running on the Democratic
ticket. accused the Republicans Of ac-
cepting funds from large corporations.
) Mr.. Bliss was questioned but he said
; nothing Some day he remarked, all
the facts will be known. I am not the
; person. however, to give them out at
this time. When the truth is under
stood, the country will be disillusioned
with respect to good many fallacies
hich have been accepted because they
have not been explained. The news
, papers insisted that Mr.. Hanna had
$10,000O0O the first time Mckinley de-
feated Bryan. Conservative men esti-
mated Mr.. Hannah's fund at $7,000000.
We didn't have half that sum.
IF I were to tell how little we
spent in 1904, when Parker was a can
didate against Roosevelt, the public
ould be surprised and possibly doubt
full The contributions to the national
committee that year came from about
5000 business concerns and indiVid-
.uals and some of them were almost in
significant. The expense of the cam
paign in 1896 and 1900 were very large,
it is true. A political meeting was
held in practically every school dis
trict throughout the United States dur
ing each of those years. Orators had
to be hired and their hotel bills and
railroad fare had to be paid. Besides,
it was necessary to establish and
maintain great publishing house for
the printing of documents. Nearly ey-
. cry man who had a dollar was willing
to spend 80 cents in trying to save it.
The cost of beating free silver was
enormous, but it did not amount tC
100000, nor to $7,000,000 Money
was paid to me by committees com
