ALL THO WHO AIDED THEM:
The Republican success in the 1920 election has been COM
mensurate with the quality OF or candidates and the
righteousness Of orr cause.
Tins success is the partnership accomplishment OF all Re
prbhcans eyeryphere and OF hundreds OF thousands OF
wen-wishers Of good government regardless OF past

possibility OF us all who will share alike in the CON
selucnt mutual benefit OF good government.
The plan OF limiting campaign contributions to 81 900, adopt
el.hy your national organization, has left your party
unmOrtgaged.
Il h. 'ccn = most .i.-nccl step in placing the business OF
p.Iiucs on The higiest plane, and has brought an interest
on the part Of thousands who never before have been
concerned with politics.

renses provided for in our budget. with the strictest
economy. would exceed the contributions. but we were
unwilling either 70 leave undone any legitimate effort

raising money. We were then sure and we are now sure
that cery Republican desires that tie expenses of the
c2mraien be distributed in this manner.
