When the republican national
committee meets here next wednes-
day probably the least welcome of
several items Of business which
they must consider will be their
deficit. Soon after the election il
became known that the committees
deficit was about sI.500.OOO. Since
that time the public has heard
nothing of the subject. and prob
ably the general assumption is that
the deficit has been met. That
however, is far from being the case.
Only about 100000 has been paid
of. and the committee has a deficit
today of sl,e00.O0O, which is an un-
comfortable sum considering that il
is now more than six months since
the election took place and from
eight to ten months since the debts
were contracted. The committee is
rate Of Z per cent. This makes ss4.-
600 year or $1,000 a month being
added to the deficit
COLLECTIONS slow.
The committee has machinery in
motion for collecting the money TO
meet this dencit, but results do not
show that they are getting in more
than about $4,000 a month. With
the rate Of progress of collection
90 slow, and the rate Of interest so
high, the situation is rather uncom-
Portable for the committee.
Some of the older members OF the
committee believe that the dehcit
can never be met so long as they
stick to the limit originally set by
Chairman Will Hays Of not taking
more than 1900 from any one con-
tributor. Inasmuch as Will Hays
will cease to be chairman at the
meeting next week, IL is quite
within the possibilities that the
committee, with Will Hays out, may
consider changing the rule and coll
lect the money in any sums they
can get, the larger the better.
