This does not include approximately
$500 spent on the Carnegie Hall

1t Is shown that $1,617:50 was spent

to his figures Harrington now has a
population of 1000, a loss of 100
over the year 1911. The loss can

practically no Mexican population.

The Roosevelt COMMITTEES says II
spent $4,000 carrying Kansas-this
was for whole state. Senator Ste
phenson spent $4,000 IL a sena-
torial campaign over the whole state
OF wisconsin lasting two years and
the country has been talking about
II ever since.
But New York can give US all
pointers. The Roosevelt primary
campaign according TO the sworn
statements of the managers cost
$7I 900 in New York county alone,
all in less than a month and secur-
Ing 1880 votes for their candi-
date. Maybe it was legitimately
spent but the way 1t was used is in
teresting. This is the report in a
dispatch from Albany:
1t is an interesting and instructive
story that is told in the sworn state
ments OF the two treasurers, Elon
Huntington Hooker and Amos r. E,
Pinchot. ON file in the office Of the
secretary of state. from which this
display of facts and figures is taken.
1t is the story of a big undertaking
that didn't pan out, of propaganda
carried on on an elaborate scale based
on an expectation which was never
realized. Never in all the history
of political campaigns, primary or
otherwise, is there any record of such
a great sum of money expended on
an electorate of such size-and
with SO little result.
Never has money been handed out
more lavishly to a small band of
workers. Tammany Hall, in its most
opulent days, never had, even at a
regular election, where its contin-
uanee in power was at stake, more
to spend per capita on the
voters. Actual comparisons of re-
suits are different, but taking the
per capita expenditure of the Re
publican County committee last fall
and accepting the vote cast for
sheriff, who ran also on the indie
pemdence League ticket, as the meas
ure, the fact is disclosed that, while
it cost the two Roosevelt organiza-
tons $4,000, or approximately s.
a vote, to poll 14,500 votes, it cost
the county committee only about
twenty-one cents vote to poll the
$4,000 cast for the Fusion candi-
date for sheriff.

County Committees $1,000.

according to the. statement Of its
Treasurer, Ogden L. Mills, the RE-
publican county committee spent On
" little more than $1,000 on the
primary, all of which was contributed
by the Taft National League. This
does not apparently cover the ordi-
nary expenses of the committee, its
headquarters, and SO on, which ii
did not charge up against the pri-
mary expenses. But at this rate the
expenditure per capita on the. thirty
thousand votes cast for Taft dele
gates was little over eighteen cents.
According to these figures, the to-
tai amount spent by the Roosevelt
managers previous to and on the day
of the spring primaries, March 20,
was $7O,946.77. OF this amount the
Roosevelt committee of which Hook
er was treasurer. spent $59,126.55,
and the Roosevelt League, coordin-
ate organization, according to the
supplementary statements of Amos
r. e. Pinchot, it's treasurer, spent
$11,82O.22. This foots up to grand
total OF $7O,946.77. The money
spent by the Roosevelt committee,
as previously reported, was contrib
uted largely by three men, George
w. Perkins, ]. Pierpont Morgan's
former partner; Frank A. Munsey,
the publisher, and Alexander s.
Cochran. the young carpet manufac-
turer OF Yonkers, each OF whom put
fifteen thousand dollars into the
pot. George Baxter was. the only
other contributor, whose sum reach
