Archbold's Contribution.

John D. Archbold had several inter-
views with Cornelius Bliss, treas
urer Of the National Republican com
mittee, and with me, relative to fl
nancial assistance In that political
campaign OF 1904 Finally we came
to an understanding by which MI
Archbold made a contribution OF sl25.-
Bliss as treasurer Of the Republican
national committee, Sor the national
presidential campaign outside OF
Pennsylvania, and s25 900 was to be
contributed to me as state chairman
for the campaign In Pennsylvania
Mr.. Archbold received the receipt of
Mr.. Bliss as treasurer OF the Repub-
!can national committee and for the
Republican national committee and as
as representing the Republican ma
tional committee. for the amount OF
100000. The contribution so received
nv me as chairman OF the Republican
state committee OF Pennsylvania was
expended In the presidential cam
paign Of that state.
While the result Of the election OF
1904 was a splendid victory for the
Republican candidate II must not be
forgotten that there were times during
the campaign when apprehension cX-
listed among the Republican manage
and when II was felt that IL was nee
essary to wage the contest with all
possible vigor. The vigorous and ef-
fcctive efforts then made largely con-
tributed to the final result. Not long
after the contribution OF 100000 to
the Republican national committee,
Mr., Bliss or behalf Of the commit
tee called again to see Mr.. Archbold
and asked for further contribution Of

II should be explained that the

mulch that holds the moisture. fills
the cracks and keeps the dry air
from getting at the roots and usually
1t makes the young plants stool more.
