Legitimate Expenses of Political
Campaign~Are Heavy

1t takes money to run an honest polit-
lcal campaign, Just at it took money to
run Liberty Loan or a Red Cross cam
paign. 1t takes everybody doing his bit
and giving his share, rather than a very
few people doing and giving it all, to
make political campaign a success, Just
as this was true with the Liberty Loan and
Red Cross campaigns.
The necessary and legitimate expenses
of a political campaign are heavy and
varied
One Of the first and most necessary
expenses is that incident to making
block" or poll of the voters of the
state. To prevent fraud in the form of
repeaters' and other illegal voters it is
absolutely necessary that the party know
the names and residence of all voters in
the state, how long they have lived in the
state and in their present election districts
1t takes money to make this political
census.
1t takes money to maintain state and
county headquarters There are the Of
flee expenses of rent light telephones,
etc. Furniture and typewriters must be
rented or purchased. Stenographers and
clerical help must be employed and paid.
Stationery and stamps must be purchased.
There are approximately $4,000 Republi-
can voters in Delaware Counting the
women voters). To send each of these
Republicans only one letter during the
campaign would cost 81 900 in stamps
alone; in addition there would be the
cost of stationery, the envelopes, the pay
roll of the stenographers who wrote the
letters, folded, enclosed, sealed and mailed
them.
In this connection, it should be stated
that no official connected with the state
and county headquarters or committees
receive any salary or compensation. AL

by the war. The long established method,
customary in all political parties, of hav-
ing comparatively small number of men
assume the financial burden of presi-
dental and congressional campaigns, ap-
pealed to the Republican National Com
mittee as being out-of key with the spirit
of the times, which call for more active
participation Of each individual in the
affairs of his government-and his partv.
The plan to decentralize the financing
of the Republican party yas proposed at
special meeting of the Republican Ma
tional Committee held in Chicago, Janu-
ary 1919. "Decentralized financing is
new term in the dictionary of politics. It
signifies financing by the many instead of
by the few. 1t means instated of few
very rich men in a few commercial and
industrial centers putting up the money
to meet the necessary expenses of a cam
paign that every citizen-in village as
well as the city, in farmhouse and factory
as well as the bank and corporation office
will be given opportunity to give ac-
cordlng to his means to the support of his
party. 1t also means the elimination of
any foundation for the charge which was
frequently made, that those who financed
the campaigns placed the party candidates
and leaders under undue and improper
obligations to the monied interests.

How Much Is Your Party Worth To You;

Do you belong to church, If so, you
help support it financially by contribut-
ing your share.
Are you a member of lodge? If
so, you pay dues. You don't expect
two or three or half dozen rich men to
put up all the money.
Do you belong to a city club of a
farmers bureau? If so, you pay your
proportion of the expenses.
AS a self-respecting, independent citi-
zen you do your share in whatever organ
lzatlon you are a member. You don't
expect and you wouldn want to belong
to organizations supported wholly by rich
men while you enjoyed the benefits
through the charity of those who paid
the bills
Why should you make an exception of
your political party? 1t it is a party
worthy of your support, it is worth some
thing to you. IF you believe in it, you
should be willing to back up your belief
with your money. If you think it is the
party which should be in power, you
should be willing to contribute your share
of the expenses necessary to make a
winning fight

Every American Citizen Wants to
Hold Up His End of the Stick

In order to bring about the "decentraI-
ization of campaign fund collections the
Republican National Committee at its
meeting in January 1919 unanimously
adopted a resolution authorizing the Ma
tlonal Chairman to appoint Ways and
Means COMMITTEE which should devise
and organize system of raising cam
palgn funds that would make the financial
support of the Republican party as broad
and representative as its membership.
This Ways and Means Committee out
lined plan which created a general or
national committee; state committee for
each state, in charge of chairman and
woman vice-chairman; and authorized
state committees to sub-divide the work
IN their states by the appointment of
county or city committees, which would
extend the work of raising funds into
every town, village and school district.
ne plan proved popular with the rank
and hle of the party, who welcome the
opportunity to become an active, contri-
buting member of the party-even though
IN small way. Every Republican in
Delaware who likes to hold up his end of
the stick, fig ht his own battles, ask no
man to pay his bills, assume his RESPONSE
bllltles or makes his party the object of
charity, is urged to become an active,
contributing member of the Republican
parry in Delaware.
lhe Republican party calls on all true
Americans who wish to see their govern
ment at Washington returned to the
people to lend hand and do their Bit

1t Costs Money to Keep Public
Posted on Campaign Issues
Every citizen is entitled to know for
what the Republican party and its candi-
dates stand. The Republican party is
particularly anxious that the fullest and
freest publicity attend the campaign is
sues; that the people be given all the
facts. To do this requires the printing
and distribution of literature; the use of
advertising in the newspapers; the hold
ing of public meetings for which halls
must be rented and music and speakers
provided. The speakers donate their serv-
ice, but their travelling expenses must be
paid. To do all this requires a great
amount of money.
Men must be obtained to act as poll
book holders, challengers, watchers, etc.
They cannot be asked to leave their work
at the factory or at the desk or on the
farm to work all day, and maybe into the
night, at the polls unless they are paid a
day S wages. Very frequently the result
OF the election depends upon which party
has the best and most efficient organiza-
ton for getting out the vote This is a
perfectly legitimate expense that must be
met.
In short to run Republican campaign
in Delaware means blocking" and
the organizing of $4,000 individuals,
placing in their hands all possible infor-
nation regarding the issues and the can
didates, and seeing to it that on election
day all legal and rightful Republican
voters reach the polls, cast their ballots
and have them honestly counted. This
cannot be done without expense bv a
political party organization any more than
1T could be done for nothing by business
organization.
Old Methods of Raising Funds Out
of Spirit With New .
Americanism
Formerl y the bulk of money needed to
finance political campaigns was raised bv
a comparatively few men. Fred w.
Opham, treasurer of the Republican Ma
tional Committee, recently made the pub
lie statement that in previous national
ccampaings IS percent of the funds to
finance the entire national fight were
raised in New York City. This applied TO
both political parties. 1t was a practice
which the present Republican National
Committee thought should be abandoned
The county and the people are entering
upon new era. The spirit of true
democracy, where every citizen feels a
personal interest and responsibility in his
government, is abroad in America as the
result of impulses which were quickened

WOOD OUT FOR TREATY.
Republican Candidate for White

With Reservations.

Chicago, Feb. 12.--Gcneral Leonard
Wood, replying yesterday to the request
OF Senator William Il. Borah for the views
| OF Republican Presidential candidates
on the League Of Nations and the Peace
| Treaty, said that he believed 1--WE should
accept the League Of Nations MS modified

tons The reply, made public tonight,
reads:
] believe that we should accept the
League of Nations as modified and safe
guarded by existing Lodge reservations
reservations that Americanize it and
safegard our traditional policies rcserva-
tions which leave America absolutely
free and untrammeled TO follow the will
of her own people in all questions of foreign
and domestic policy.

where it is practicable. However, in view
OF the fact that the people have clearly
lndicated-as | see it-that they are In
favor Of the treaty if our traditional
policies, interests, and freedom of action
are fully safeguarded, 1t seems unneces-
sary to delay this most important ques-
ton for a general election in which their
views could hardly be more decisively
expressed than they have already been.
With reference to your question as to
my views on the foreign policy of this
Government, | am in favor of and shall
continue TO be in favor of the well-estab-
lished foreign policy of this Government
which conserves and promotes the in
teTests of our own country.I do not think
this treaty with the reservations impairs
that policy. 1t does not entangle us, il
leaves us free To exercise our own judg
ment. it is temporary. If we choose 10
have 1T so, we can retire on two year $
notice.
One aim of Americas foreign policy
has always been the promotion of the
peace of the world In order 10 accomplish
this end her people must be free in any
situation TO stand for righteousness ac-
cording TO their judgment. As an important
means TO that end, instrumentalities |
should be created and developed by which, |
consistently with this freedom, the momcn- |
tum of the other free and peace-loving |
