The Republican campaign tund' as
..rouneed yesterday. up to the close
- business on October %, is 1857
~ The total disbursements up to
"a, time were s1,57S,sS4. The striking
,..,,re Of the contribution, as COM
I'D with former campaigns, is that
here are few large individual subscrio-
:. There is preponderance Of
81, popular contributions. The larG-
:. single contribution is that Of
u,rv PAYNE Whitney, for $4,000, as
.-,sred with $4,000 contributed by
c,.vsland H. Dodge to the Democrati-
,,mpaign fund. There are 22,226 con"
,,;butors. Four years ago the num-
g.. ~ contributors was slightly over
1000.
II may be said on good authority that
,bs Republican fund will run well over
100000. The Democratic campaign
,und Nd 20 October 20 was s1,O06,2S9,
contributed by 41,SS2 persons. 1t was
,s.imated that the Democratic fund
,l.oe ould reach the $2,O0O,OOo mark.
This years Republican fund is said
70 be the second largest campaign con-
,r;bution received by the Republican
National Committee, the record figures
having been in the Mckinley campaign,
when Mark Hanna raised about So
100000. The election law at that time
did not require the public recording
Of the campaign contributions. The
name of Charles Z. Hughes does rot
sppear as a contributor for his own
election. President Wilson contrib
uted $500.
Cornelius n. Bliss, jr., treasurer Of
the Republican National Committee,
fled the report yesterday in Washing
ton. In a statement Mr.. Bliss called
attention to the "popularizing" of the
contributions. This was due in large
Measure 10 the success of the plan
worked out by Mr.. Bliss to obtain
sustaining memberships" in the party
for those who contributed $40.
For some time past" said Mr.. Bliss,
ssfO checks for sustaining member
snip contributions have been coming
i'm at the New York headquarters at
the rate OF about 500 a day. On Octo-
Der q. the last date covered by this
report. we received at the New York
headquarters over 1900 such $40
checks"
