TREASURER ANSWERS
GOV. COX'S CHARGES

CHICAGO, Aug. 27. - Governor
Cox's statement in some cases assing
ed the entire quota for state and
national purposes to a single city, and
in other cases the amount credited to
one city exceeded the entire state
quota" Fred Upham, Republican ma.
tional treasurer stated today. He
cited the Governors figures for New
York at 100000 and said that this
was the quota for the entire state for
both state and national campaign pur-
poses. The amount credited Chicago
in the Governors table, $750,000, is
$4,000 more than the entire quota of
the state of Illinois, he said. Cover
nor Cox does not appreciate the
difference between a quota and a
budget" he added.
1.-THE quota is assessed on the basis
of what we estimate would be fair
share for each state and is placed
high enough to allow for a large
shrinkage in the amount actually OBJ
tanned"
The plan of the financial campaign
was laid on lines designed to get away
from large collections from the prin-
cipal centers of the country. In every
previous campaign of both parties, not
less than Is per cent Of the funds
came from New York.
