Mr.. Hays next took up. the alleged
quotas" which Gov. Cox charged
had been levied for States and cities.
AT different periods different
quotas have been suggested by the
treasurer's office as tentative goals In
different States, and the State com
mittees themselves have fixed differ
ent quotas" he said. These are
, changing constantly, and always, Of
course were made very much higher
than the amount either necessary or
anticipated. The fact is, the quotas
meant little. Furthermore, whatever
may have been suggested as quotas
by overzedlous solicitors in their en-
thusiasm in different localitess, the
fact remains that certain amount
was believed necessary apd the budget
| above referred to was Indicated
therefor.
There is actually deficit In the
| Republican tren sIiry Of S2S,3T4.69, Mr..
Hays said. After the Chicago con-
vention, he said the net balance In
the hands of the National Committee
was $19G62l27
"Since the 1920 convention there
has been raised by the National Com
mittee for its own use $61S,013.5+ up
| to Aug. 26. 1920. During this period
there has been raised by the States
where we have a joint working ar
rangement, for their own use S399,-
! 241.7S," said Mr.. Hays.
There was on hand on Aug g,
1920, in the National Committee
treasury S155, 1851 and we owe $780,
900. This amount has been borrowed
in order to anticipate expenditures
OF this we have loaned to the
Congressional Campaign, Committee
$1SS,500. and we have loaned to the
Senatorial Campaign Committee $780,
600 and we have ldaneds 10 the state
Campaign Committees $4,000. From
June IA to Aug. 26 1920, the Ma
tional Committee has expended $S4S,-
i OO9.5O.
This leaves a deficit of $2s,S7469
: on Aug. 70, 1920 However, we have
on hand uncollected pledge cards
amounting to 1921, 565.3s, all due be-
tween now and Oct. |. The treasurer
has these pledge cards. These pledges
come from every State and are from
2,S04 persons with an average con
tribution of S126.55 per person. OF
these 2,S04 pledges, none are ovel
$1,000, except two, which are fol
$4,000 each.
NO FUNDS FROM THE CORPORA.

Z tributions from corporations 80

: and assigned to the state"
Senator Reed questioned Mr.. Hay
( TO bring out whether the state com
, mttees, after receiving their share O
the funds raised under the join
agreement with the national commit
tee could continue to raise funds. II
was told they could not.

/, been consulted regarding plan -

paign," Senator Reed asked,
