Il A Washington dispatch Of the

The Roosevelt campaign head

stenograph0rs and messengers.
Roosevelt headquarters work "a
hours a day, employing three shifts
and activity never ceases. There
are more people employed at the
Roosevelt headquarters than are
employed by all the other cam
paign managers in Washington.
The Roosevelt headquarters are
larger than the combined Taft,
Wilson, Underwood, La Toilette
and Harmon forces, and they
spend money much more lavishly
than any Of the others.
Who pays the bill? Roosevelt is
not paying for all this out of his
own pocket; he would go broke
attempting such a thing. Yet the
Roosevelt managers are spending
money like water. Rich men must
be paying the bills, and it is so
we'll established as to be beyond
