the Augusta sneccb of Chairman uavs is
tynical Of his statements
Mr.. Hays announced that II had boon
decided that So 600 600 wouId ho nacossorv
and that il IL planrcd to raise tbie frnd
| by Subscriptio" from interested Rcnublicans
| which shall in no instance exceed $1,000
! from subscriber. If 1t was found impos-
| siblr to raise the money in this way il
| would b" publicly announced and an attempt
| would be made to raise It in some other way.
This seems to be frank and straight
forward statement. Mr.. Cox, however. does
! not seem to like it. He demands that Mr..
| Hays go into details aud tell him into how
many districts the country has been Divided
! and what the quota from each district is,
as though this were vital.
| The essential fact is that the chairman of
| the RPpubiCan national committee makes
| the public announcement that tn" campaign
| fund sought is $3.OOo.OOO. So. 100000 less
| than the Democratic candidate for the prPsi
| dency has been trying TO make the country
| believe II would De.
! If Mr. Hays can run the comnoipn for
| 81 600 600 he will do very we'll Tho sum
| is not large when one considers tho cost of
| campaigninV in ordinary times II * small
! indeed when one recalls that tLc dollar to-
| day will buv only as much AZ forty ccnts.

for So 900 600. Mr.. Harding said dov
| or two ago that Mark Hanna told him TINT
