Especial to The Argus.)


Chicago, July 27.-Campaign f.
nances of both the Republican and
the Democratic parties are in none
too good condition. Each side is
handicapped by peculiar set OF
circumstances entirely apart from
The supposed restraints which the
senate investigating committee was
expected to apply this year to ex-
cessive spending.
The Republicans are embarrassed
because in a moment of indiscretion
they committed themselves to 1000
as the limit of the contributions
something that not only prominent
Republicans but unlocking Demo
Gratis say is wholly impractical for
a short campaign. The Democrats
are affected by no such limits and
can take any sums they please, but
Wilbur Marsh, Democratic national
treasurer, who was here today. de-
clared the Democrats would reserve
the right to refuse to accept con-
tributions from sources not deemed
sufficiently disinterested. The Dem
ocrats, however, are in bad shape
because the San Francisco conven-
tion took at least $500 apiece fol-
travel and hotel expenses from the
individual delegates and also de-
layed the organization of the Dem
ocratic campaign committee SO that
while the Republicans. have been
at work for several weeks, the
Democrats haven't even begun. And
every day counts in canvass fol-
funds before election day. Collect
ing money for a deficit after the
election result is known is an al.
most impossible task.
Plans Differ.
The theory behind the Republi
can approach to teh question of fl.
nance is entirely different from
that being adopted by the Demo
Gratis. The Republicans are de
pending upon large subscription!
up to $1,000, and they must raise
at least $4,000, 900. 1t is much hard
er to get 5000 persons to contribut.
1900 apiece than it is to get $1,000
persons to give $100, for the frs
must be accomplished by individual
! canvass and soliciting while tn,
second might be collected through
mail organization if there wer,
time to build one. 1t isn't that 500
Republicans can't be found to giv'
1000 each, but all contributions
must be made public and the ar
of giving money t. campaigns il
