An Appeal
To the Republicans of the Country and
All Those Who Aided Them:

To the Republicans of the Country and
All Those Who Aided Them:
The Republican success in the 1920 election has been COM
mensurate with the quality of candidates and the
Righteousness of our cause.
This success is the partnership accomplishment of all Re-
pubcans everywhere and of hundreds of thousands Of
wel-wishers OF good government regardless OF past
party affiliations.
To all of these appeal because it is the mutual
responsibility of all who will share alike in the
sequent mutual benefit of good government
The plan Of limiting campaign contributions to $1,000
adopted by your national organization has left your
party unmortgaged.
has been most advanced step in placing the business of
politics the highest plane and has brought inter
est the part Of thousands who before have been
concerned with politics.
Some weeks before election apparent that the
penses provided for in budget with the strictest
economy would exceed the contributions, but
unwilling either to leave undone any legitimate effort
essential to complete success or to change the method
of raising money. We then sure and we are now
that every Republican desires that the expenses of
the campaign be distributed in this manner.
Your presidential campaign this year cost than that
of 1916, when dollar went nearly twice far as
does today.
Four years ago the bulk of the campaign fund came from
$50 contributors, while this year the approximately
100000 contributed to date for the presidential
election has come from 1000 givers.
The victory the raising of the deficit would be easy,
indeed If your committee willing to abandon the
policy of keeping down the average of contribution
This we determined not to do It fight of
all the people The result speaks for itself. It lifted
burden from the minds Of millions and points the
way 70 DeCter anu happier days. We ASK now IOt tnRt
additional help from all which is merited both by the
successful conclusion of the effort and by the consequent
contribution the welfare of all Of people and the
glory of the nation.
Let have help from every American who is grateful
for the victory and all that 1t to the country
might we'll be in the nature Of thanksgiving offering
for the return to certainly safe sane constitutional
progressive government.
Let by and giving put the seal of a
prova upon the policy Of putting national adminsra-
ton in free from any possible embarrassment Of
special obligation to any man. men or group OF men,
Let make the contribution, whether large or small,
and whether not we have heretofore given, CON-
mensurate with and appreciation always
within the maximum limit heretofore fixed
Let the cornerstone of surdier political
structure upon the roll Of those who have helped make
possible campaign Of which, in methods and result
we may Republicans and patriots be Justly proud.

your committee may be enabled to discharge the partys
obligations and turn to further constructive work in be-
half Of party and country.
