of campaign quota assigned to va
rious cities, as charged by Governor
Cox in his Pittsburg speech, was made
today by Fred w. Upham, treasurer
OF the Republican national commit

Chairman Kenyon called attention
to the list, saying it totalled more
than eight million dollars.
Upham also flatly denied the Of
ficial bulletins issued from his office
to field workers were secret or
counselled secrecy. He pointed out
that the only prohibition was in re-
spect to publishing the lists of con-
tributors in local newspapers, be-
cause some persons objected to see
ing their names in print.
Upham produced figures showing
the committee had received $1,700,-
900 for both national and state cam

26. He said that of this $618,000
was for the national campaign. He
presented the names of 1889 con-

The committee sent Upham back TO

produce the much discussed "quota
sheet" showing the amount each state
was asked to raise.

There is a distinct palship between
the mother and her boys, Harry,
and James, %, who runs their farm.
The father is dead.
Young Burn has earned his living
a good while. His mother says he
began at the age of five, when he
loaded tomatoes into his little red
wagon and sold them in the village.
He is now high Mason, national
representative for Tennessee of the
Junior Order of United American
Mechanics and member of the tele-
grapher's union. He volunteered
twice during the war, but was kept
at home by his state for his expert
ness at the keyboard. He is not a
college boy, but graduate of the
Niota high school.
The Burn farm has 400 acres, on
which the younger Burn boy, James
Lane. raises wheat and oats and
watermelons and fat red pigs with
clean feet. Mother Burn, "born a
snffragist." does her own housework,
milks the cows, sews for herself and
her 13-year-old daughter, Otho Vlr-
ginia. and has time to keep abreast
of current events by reading a doz-
en- magazines and periodicals a week.
"Harrv isn't through yet says
his mother. "Only-well, politics is
such a horrid mess! Just see how
Harry has been attacked and hound
ed ever since he cast his vote for
ratification, such injustice will be
rarer when all women vote.
"Women are not perfect, but they
are more fearless than men. # they

whether it's ever been done before
or not. They get results quicker"
