COX PROOF
PH0NY SAYS
FRED UPHAN|
Republican Treasurer
Thinks Somebody Play
ed Joke on Governor.

Chicago, Aug. Ex-Governor Cox's
schedule of Republican campaign
funds quotas in 81 principal cities
is "phony list which never heard
Of BEFORE" Fred W. Upham. Repub-
lican national treasurer, declared
today on his return from New York.
Somebody must have played a
joke on the governor" Mr.. Upham
declared.
The Republican national COM
mittee has never apportioned any
quotas to cities, Mr. Upham said.
The only quotas assigned, he added,
were given to states, the money to
be used for both state and national
campaign purposes. Each state
committee then apportloned its
quota as it thought best, Mr.. Up
ham said.
Collections S1.017,25s to Date.
Denying charges that vast
amounts had been collected OF
were being collected, the Republi-
can treasurer exhibited a state
ment showing collections up tc
this morning total $1,017,255 OF
which New York state, including
the city Of New York, gave s225, ,292
he said.
He reiterated the statement oi
Chairman Will H. Hays that the
| budget planned for the national
campaign totaled slightly in excess
Of $S,000,000, and denied Governo,
! Cox's charge that he was planning
to raise in excess Of $4,000, 900.
Governor Cox's statement of al
legged quotas in some cases assign
ed the entire quota for state ant
| national purposes to single city
and in other cases the amour
credited to one city exceeded tn,
entire states quota, the treasurer
said. He cited the governors fig
ures for New York City $4,000 ,00'
i and said this was the quota for th,
entire state Of New York for botl
, state and national campaign pur
poses. The amount credited Chi
cago in the governors table, $3.50,
900, is $4,000 more than the entir,
quota for Illinois, he said.
| Says Cox Doesn't Understand.
| Governor Cox does not appre
ciate the difference between (,
quota and a budget" said Mr.. Up
ham. The quota is assessed OIL
the basis Of what We estimat
would be a fair share for eacl
state. and is placed high enough t,
allow for large shrinkage in tn
amount actually obtained.
In many states, New Mexico
Arizona. Tennessee, kentucky an,
North Carolina. for example, tn
entire quota is to be spent for stat
purposes and nothing for the ma
tlonal campaign. On Monday In m,
testimony | shall submit to tn
senate committee, the full list o
subscribers. which in no case viii
show subscriptions of more tha,
$1,000 by any individual"
