Hut the nize of thnt fund will be n Mw incentive to all critic of the pres- rllt party leadership and to ratllcals like Hornh nud Johnson. It will bring the dollar maik back with n rush into Democratic cartoons. And It is largely because of the defective sttntcgy of Senator Penrose that the party now is heavily dependent on a candidate who appears to labor under a weight of too much iioney. Penrose nided Johnson when the plans were being laid for a Senate in quiry Intended to discredit General Wood. Johnson instantl used the weapons thus put into his hand for n sudden flank movement Against the sen ator's supposedly favorite candidute. And it is not too much to say that the cit,an nt '"' Iwdcn candidacy were ator Penrose suddenly thrpw tho hat of Senntor Knox into the presidential ring, that the maneuver wns intended to ob struct the Johnson campaign in Penn sylvania and elsewhere. What happened was disquieting. The vote showed thnt Pennsylvnniniis who took the trouble to write the names- of presidential can didates on their ballots were disposed to accept Hiram rather than Philander as their favorite son. Johnson polled about two votes in this state for every ote cast for Knox It is significant thnt the talk of a Johnson bolt became newly insistent in Washington nfter the Pennsylvania primary. The California senator has ceased to promise that he will not bolt. He refuses to answer questions nr to give assurances to anybody. Washing ton now admits that there is an even chance of a split in (he convention. There nre two motives that may inspire ! the California senntor to a bolt. One is the League of Nntions plank, whirh rntiounl Itepublicnns will insist upon, and th'e other is the Domination which the convention will refuse to ffivo him. Yet it was Penrose who brought John sou into the field as a dangerous factor by stolidly refusing to recognize the po tentiality of Hoover. Hecause Hoover was thrust into the background a situation has been created which is dungerous for the party, dan gerous for the country and dangerous for Mr. Penrose and his friends. The 1 Old Ouard has bf en led into n fix nnd it cannot easily get out of It There has been n great deal of despairing talk about methods by which standpattism might be eliminated in the O. O. P.

It Js a high note; the highest note of Its kind, probably, ever struck. It would suggest comparison, if there were anything to compare it with, but there Isn't, This prc-convcntlon campaign isvn condition born nf the primary system. In previous campaigns ther,e was more or less talk of delegates to the convention being bought, but these things, if they existed, lived in the dark, nnd were not testified to before congrcs.slonnl committees. ' The best that can. be "done -tit the way of comparison is with the campaign expenses filed by the Democratic and Republican national committees In previous political rights. Then the star tling fart Is seen that one man, before tne convention, lins spent in the matter of securing the nomination in the neigh borhood nf one-third of the cash re quired by a nntionnl committee to run nn entire campaign. THK present pre-conventlou Republi can camoaien Is unnrecedented en tirely apart frdln the introduction of 1 the primary system, though perhaps be- I cause of it. Never before has there been quite so much desperate fighting among candidates. , There have been ns many candidates in the field in the past. In 1010, while the principal candidates were Theodore Roosevelt. Klihu ' Root nud Justice Charles B. Hughes, many others were tentatively discussed among them Sen ntor Cummins? of Iowa : Senntor Hornh, of Idaho; Senator Hurtou, of Ohio, and Henry Ford, of Michigan, but the newspaper discussions nt that time were love feasts compared to this year's campaign. And money spent wns negligible. IT HAS not been suggested thnt there h anything wrong with Governor I.owden's campaign fund. Campaigns cost money. There' is nothing wrong in a candidate contributing to Mx own 1 fund. It has always been done. Wood row Wilson contributed to his own cam paign fund in 1010. That the sum he gao was only SSoTK) is noteworthy. It is the size of the present fund which excites interest. THK Democratic nntionnl committee in 1010 received from Its supporters Sl.snS.:M8.10. Inclusive nf loans, nnd reported disbursements of $l,084.rS0.74. including tho repayment of $10,000 iu loans. Of the grand total, the sum of $105,."ifiS.O." wns received In contribu tions of less thnn $100. The largest in 1 dividual contributors were Cleveland II. Dodge, of New York, with $70,000, 1 and Kd wards L. Doheny, of California, $'J.".,000. The Republican national committee received $2,445,421.10, nnd expended $2,411.50.-1.05. The money came from 34.205 contributors. The lnrgest con I tributors were the Republican state ' committee, of New Jersey, $40,000, nnd Harry Payje Whitney, $.'10,000. THOSK were the figures nt the end of the campaign. It is not without the bounds of pos sibillty thnt tlie Jigures may be evceed ed this year before tJie nominations nre made. l.owden is only one candidate. The talk .of money being spent like wnter has not up-to-date been leveled nt l.owden so much 11s nt others of the , Republican candidates.
