The Georgia Quota.

We are wondering how much OF the
$4,000 900 or 500, 100000 campaign fund
that Is being raised by the Republicans
to buy the presidency and run the gov
ornment at the point of the bayonet is
OF the same character as the $4,000 re-
ported to have been raised In Atlanta
for this unhoy purpose.
Treasurer Upham, of the national
committee, in his testimony before the
senate committee investigating cam
paiRn expenses treasures those OF us
who were fearful that the Republican
party had abandoned its traditional
policy Of distributing money among
the needy Republicans OF the South,
and actually had begun to collect
funds from those Il is commonly sup
posed to support,
According to Mr.. Upham's testimony
one C. w. Mcclure was supposed to
have subscribed. raised or underwrit-
ten the S25, GOO quota for Georgia. But
the professional Georgia Republican has
not changed his spots. Mr.. upham
originally was enthusiastic over the
prospect of securing large campaign
contributions from Georgia. Mr.. Nc
Clure, he said. was very active early
In the year. lie went so far as to sub
scribe $1,000 Of the campaign fund, OF
which amount he actually paid in $500.
Afterward he telegraphed the commit
tee that he had underwritten the quota
or the state-s25,OOO, and that message
was Immediately followed by another
making inquiries as to the patronage
he was expected TO receive. Under
date Of August T. Mr.. Mcclure wrote:
ITO be candid with you, It lie go
ing to be very difficult job to do
anything more under the conditions. II
we could have some understanding with
Mr., Harding or the national committee
In regard to patronage, or some of II at
least in regard 10 R possible reorga-
niaation down here, there might be a
chance TO do something further toward
raising money. Under present condi-
tons there is hardly a chance"
As matter OF fact the national Re-
publican committee will perhaps con-
tinue to send to the South more money
than II raises for the Republican party.
II any considerable amount Of the tl5.-
COO, 900 is OF the same character as the
$4,000 assessed Georgia, it will be nee
essarv for Gov. Cox 10 revise his fig
ures and the Republican national COM
mittee to economic in its expendi-
lures.
The Atlanta case is not more far
fetched than the assumption that
Memphis Republicans will contribute
$4,000 TO Senator Hardipgs cam
paign. Southern Republicans usually
are on the receiving end.
