Especial Correspondence of The Argus)
Washington, Jan. 27.-The republi-
can campaign fund in 1908 amounted
to $1,665, 51S.37. The democratic fund
was s62O,644.27. The republicans had
more than a million in excess of the
democrats.
The number who contributed to the
republican fund was 1920 and to the
democratic fund $4,000. In other
words the number of contributors to
the democratic fund was six times
greater, and their contributions aggre-
gated a million dollars less. The con
tributors TO the republican fund, as a
rule, We're interested in legislation,
the money coming from such men as
J. Pierpont Morgan, Charles p. Tart,
Andrew Carnegie, Charles NJ. Schwab,
John Jacob Aston and the heads of
the various wooden mills which de-
sired the passage of the Payne-Aldrich
bill, together with donations from the
Wall street banks, railroad magnates,
and individuals representing the tariff
trusts.
The contributors to the democratic
fund were not personally interested in
legislation.
BIG CONTRIBUTIONS.
The contributions of individuals to
the republican fund ranged from $11O,,
600 downward, while contributions TO
the democratic fund ranged from S.,
