thcro nro two theories which possible
account for It.
One It that the provisional money
ralcrs drew up thli llit as a stiCRestion
to their representatives In the ,arloui
Rtntcs. The other Is that It may have.
. been made up from reports from the
I various states of the quotas fixed by the
locol authorities, these reports having
been sent to the professional money ran
I ers at the national headquarters. All
this assumes a certain authenticity for
the Cox typewritten list, but Uiat still
remains to bo proved.
As the itate quotas apgrecated over
fip million dollars, the doubling or
trebling of them by local collectors would
reiult in n very laree total In quotas.
The Itepubllcfltis luMst thnt most of this
was merely "dream monev."
And there Is not the slightest evi
dence of the actual collection of exces
she sums of mone. During the cam
pnlgn the Democrats will probably In
sist that the Hcpubllcans reallv Intended
to collect the total amount of their
quotas and were on'v stopped from doing
so bv Oovernor Cox's charges. And
tbc Republicans will rest their cast ou
the fact thnt thev did not collect an
excessive amount of money and never
rroimbly this is tin
arc full of flslit ns the result of the con
ferences with Governor Cox and of
their going over the evidence with Judge
Edmond II. Moore, the governor's per
gonal representative.
They talked boldly of "ending some
body to the penitentiary It is reported
that the source from which the Demo
cratic candidate obtained his llt of
cities and their quotas will be disclosed
end that the disclosure will be Imprei
jhe. One mn discount both predic
tions. In Republican circles the nnm
of the man who gave the governor his
evidence ind especially the tjpewritten
list of cities is whispered about frech.
But It Is nil suspicion nnd manifestly
unfair to print the name unless volun
tarily dlelocd bv the person himself.
There will nrobnblv be omi evidence
to show that this Nt of cities came from
Republican national headquarters and
was officially prepared, although the
evidence does not connect Mr. Haves or i
Mr. Uphnni with it. Republicans who,
know the facts concede that when thev
are brought out Oovernor Cox will
have established "n talking point." but
thnt he will have failed to show the ac
tual collection of excessive funds.
Will Re .Much Talking
The talking point, they say. will be
the existence of quotas for cities and
localities out of nil proportion to the
state quota testified to by Treasurer Up.
ham. When it Is all oer the Demo
crats will probably Insist that the Re
publicans intended to raNe these hrge
quotas. And the Republicans will de
clare that these large quotas were fixed
solely for money-rnising purposes and
mat mere nail ntver heen on intention
to collect more than the thrte millions
necessary for the budget of the nationnl
committee. I
The calling of the field officers nnd
state finance directors ns wltneses in
dicates the direction tin liiipiii will
take. The Democrats propose to find
out from these men what It was pro- j
posed to raise in the arious cit'es and
localities.
What aetuollv hapnened in one sfite
was learned from n Republican member
of the finance committee of thnt state.
According to him, the state quota tes
tified to bj Mr. I'phnm was hnnded
over to the state finance representa
tives. They ossicned to the cities anil
regions In the state sums to be collected
largely in excess of Mr. rphntn's state
quota. The enthusiastic methods of the
various Ilbert. loans nnd Y. M. C. A.
drives prevailed. In order to get the
amount n-ked for from the state an
amount was demnnded of each localitv
uhose total was inuili gi eater. '
All Quotas Magnified '
In some cases the quota oskid fori
from a citj was three times what would
now been its reasonable (.hare of the
Ftate quota fixed bv Mr 1'pham In
other cases double the reasonable share
was asked for, In some instances com
munities tnluntctrcd to inly two or
three times as much monej ns would
hae been necessnij for them to raise
In orcer to realize the quota fixed for
the entire state It m said that no
such sums as local collectors set out
to get huc been collected, or een will
be collected, or that an one ecr seri
ously thought they could be generally
collected.
If Oovernor Cox establishes his talk
ing point there will be n disposition in
political circles to place the blame upon
the professional money misers brought
Into the work collecting the campaign
fund from the Libert) Loan and Y
M. C. A drives Said one Republi
can today: "These men did not rou'lze
how badlj boasting about the ast sums
they could raise would sound in poll-
tics. Thej were living In the atmosphere
of the wnr monej drives " .
While it is probable that quotus for
cities were fixed out of all proportion ,
to the quotas for the state established
by Sir. Cphnm, there Is nothing et to1
show that those gien on the tjpe
written list made public b Oovernor
Cox were the actual quotas assigned by
local authorities or bv Republican
money drivers to the cities. The Demo
crats are btrlvlng to prove that the
rovernor's quotas were unet an 1 thev
hope to show it b the testimony of
tne men in tne tiem wlio actual!, set out
to collect the mouev in the ariems
states and citie That is their pur
pose in calling the state and loenl
finance agents of the Republican pirt) ;
Democrats Maintain Stand
Their theor. is that the Republican
testimony so far has been false, that the
amounts to be collected b the various i
cities were decided upon ns Oovernor
Cox charged by the national officials '
of the Republican party ami that the
list of quotas given out bv the Demo
cratic candidate was prepared bv the
responsible national officials of the
party.
The be-st way to reconcile the con
flictlng evidence in the cn-e- is to assume
that the nntionnl officials of tin jurt
mrcly made out the 'tnte qu ta and
left the methods of collection within
the states, nnd the assignment of quotni
to cities nud localities to the stntc
finance bodies. If the evidence the Dem
ocrats say they have establishes that,
the typewritten sheet of city quota''
which Governor Cox hnd in his possi ssion
was made up at national headquarters
