S2,500,000 Is Spent In Nom
mating the Candidates
on Each Ticket.

n T costs n lot of money nowadays to
run for the chief office In the
n gift of the nation. Never before
has the presidency been so ex-
pensive a luxury. The business of
maintaining a BOOM" which involves
the keeping up Of n widespread popu-
lar interest and excitement, demands
a lavish scattering of dollars, and the
mere incidental expenditures of travel
over long distances in a special car,
with stenographers, etc, run up to a
pretty figure.
Fortunately for Colonel Roosevelt he
is not obliged to pay for these things
out of his own pocket. Not being
rich man, he could not possibly afford
to do so. But many personal expenses
to be met from his private purse are
unavoidable. Whenever he is at home
he is expected to keep open house. PO-
litical supporters from all parts of the
country come TO see him and have to
be entertained. He is obliged to hire
several clerks merely to answer his
mail
cheaper for the president than for the
colonel. For one thing, If Mr.. Taft
has any travelling to do, he has his an
nusl salary out Of which to pay for it,
and. for another item, the government
provides him with all the clerical as
sistance he wants, and he never has to
buy a postage stamp
The nominee on either ticket, Re
publican or Democrat, will find himself
Obliged to meet many extraordinary
expenses before election day arrives.
Benjamin Harrison was helped out
during that period by his son-in-law,
Robert Mckee, and by other friends
who contributed. Mr.. Taft, who, as
everybody knows, was a poor man.
borrowed heavily from his brother.
Colonel Roosevelt, while not wealthy,
inherited a fortune of about S150,OO0
from his father, glass importer in
New York and so was comparatively
independent.

100000 In Postage Stamps.

Even with such economy each ma
tional committee will spend something
like 100000 for postage stamps. And
another rather expensive item is cam
paign buttons, of which 5,0OOO00 will
bear the portrait OF the Republican
candidate and an equal number that
Of his Democratic opponent. There will
also be 10000 autographed likeness
es of each of the two candidates sent
out to the state chairmen. Minor eX-
penditures are necessarily multitudi-
nous, but perhaps the most striking
popularity Of the whole affair is that
no accounting will be made OF the
enormous sums of money spent The
accounts will be kept by numbers, the
names represented by them being
known only to two or three men. Even
the persons employed to keep the ac-
counts will not be in the secret, and
the books when the campaign is at an
end will be burned
But to 90 back a step to the nom

BOYCOTT CORNELL SUN.
Sage College Girls Decide Not to Sup
port University Daily.

The goods Of Sage college at Cornell
have decided that they will not sub
scribe to the Cornell Daily Sun next
year and that those who already have
subscribed will cancel their subscrip-
tions.
The girls have taken this action be
cause they believe the Sun board has
decided to run no Sage college news
next fall. Just where they got this
idea no one knows. Mrs. Gertrude
Martin, adviser Of women in Sage col
lege, said the girls heard there would
be no Sage college news and for that
reason decided not to support it, as it
would not be OF any value to them.

Butler Offered Second Place.

At Monroe's second election a curl
Gus incident occurred. 1t was sup
posed that all the electors votes We're
for him, but on opening the New
Hampshire package IL was found that
one elector from that state had bolt
ed" explaining the matter by saying
that he wanted George Washington to
be the only man handed down to his
tory az unanimously elected.
In 1884. It IL related, James G. Blaine
did not want the nomination for preSi-
dent because he thought he could not
carry New York, the pivotal state. He
suggested for the ticket William II.
Sherman and Robert T. Lincoln. But
Sherman refused, saying that he did
not think that military men were suit
ed to the White House job.
1t is also related that Abraham Lin
toln when a candidate for a second
term offered the second place on the
ticket with him to Benjamin Butler
But Butler declined on the ground
that he ought not to leave the army
at II period OF crisis 10 take a civil pO-
sition.
Daniel Webster, however, was the
only man who ever threw away the
presidency twice. He refused to ac-
cept the second place on the ticket
with Harrison I'm 1910 and thus did
not succeed the latter when he died.
Again In 1913 he might have been vice
president with Taylor If he had so
wished. He refused, and Fillmore
was put in, succeeding Taylor on his
demise sixteen months later.

change is held responsible for the en-
tire trouble. being unable for some
reason TO handle the cars as fast as
they are delivered Bad weather has
also contributed as cause. Much of
the corn is from the Dakotas

congestion, conditions growing worse
all the time for the past month. The
railroad officials want some system
adopted which will obviate this delay.
