the National Committee. Chairman
Scott and Colonel Mitchell outlined the
plans OF National Chairman Hays to
Interest in party welfare all classes OF
Republicans. 10 Is his desire that no
large subscriptions be made, but that
great many small contributions be Sc
cured from the rank and file Of the
party.
Those present at. the conference be-
sides Mr.. scott and Mr.. Mitchell were
Colonel Theodore Townsend, OF the Mil
ford Chronicle: Secretary Of state
Everett C. Johnson, OF the Newark Post;
James +. Alec, Jr., OF the state Sentinel,

Mr.. Scott explained that IL was the
purpose OF the party organisation 10
make this a patriotic campaign. The
/ feeling OF The national officers. he said,
was that more real work could be ex-
/ pected and party loyalty obtained II
the voters felt they were having
hand and a measure OF responsibility
/ in party affairs and thelr money was
/ being used to help carry out their
I ideals.
The popular subscriptions are 70 be
/ devoted entirely 20 the purposes Of the
/ National Committee, and in no way
have anything 10 do with the state
l campaign.
The Federal law does not Ak a limit
an contributions. but it has been de-
cided ihat subscriptions OF more than
$1,000 will not be solicited. As low as
81 and up 10 and including $1,000 will
| be taken. As a matter Of fact. the hep
] reseDtatives Of the party would rather
| have one thousand 81 subscriptions
than $1,000 contribution.
The following is the text OF a bull
! letin received from national headquar-
I ters. aud read az the luncheon:
"The federal law does not fX a limit
on contributions. Chairman Hays has
requested, however, that contributions
| exceeding $1,000 for any year be not
! solicited. II Is perfectly proper for a
/ contributor 10 subscribe $1,000 for or
| ganizadOn expenses 10 be used before
I the national convention which nOmi-
mates the candidates, and an additional
/ $1,000 TO be used for the active cam
/ paigu.
anonymous contributions cannot be
received as the law requires that the
full name and address OF all contribu-
tors be given. An official subscription
card is supplied by the treasurer. This
card should be used in securing sub
scriptions as II provides for all legal
requirements.
Cash contributions must be accom-
panied by a subscription card giving
the donors full name and address. This
card may be filed out either by the
contributor or the individual securing
the contribution"
In the past It has been the habit OF
the rank and file TO allow the big COR
poration and comparatively few men
to furnish money for the legitimate ex-
penses OF the campaign. Now it is
1 planned to put the matter up 20 the
! individual, and to finance the Republi-
can National Campaign by means OF
! thousands OF popular subscriptions.

Delaware will be organized in much
] the same manner as was done during
/ the various war loan and Red Cross
campaigns, Mr.. Scott explained. Com
mittees composed Of all classes OF Re
publicans will be formed throughout
the State In this way every individual
Will be reached and no one will have
the opportunity 10 say that he or she
did not have a chance 10 contribute.
One OF the suggestions made az the
meeting was that each one who con-
tributors be given distinctive button
showing that he is a part OF the G.
o. p. organization. Chairman Scott
thought this good suggestion and Will
take it up with National Chairman
Hays.
All money Will be forwarded 20 Mr.
Scott and Mr.. Mitchell and by shem
endorsed over 20 the Republican Ma
tional Committee.
The plan for this money raising cam
peisn was discussed fully, and those
present expressed themselves as think
