Mr. Hays told the senators that the republican management wel- comed “the opportunity further fully to set forth the effort of the republi- can naional committee to popularize the giving of money for campaign purposes by getting small contribu- tions from a great many men and women, thus forever eliminating any possible opportunity for sinister in- fluences in connection with money in politics. He said this money grew out causes: “The real desire to work a real re- form in the elimination of any pos- sible improper obligation,” and be- cause, experience in raising funds for war purposes had made popular drives “familiar acfivity, and it seemed possible to undertake that kind of action by a political organization.” “We particularly hoped that this activity wouldd increase the political interest,” he said. | Mr. Hays explained that the plan was proposed early in 1919 and that the purpose has been to limit the contributions to $1,000 for any one year from any individual or $1,000 before the nominating convention and $1,000 after. “We have all tried to adhere that plan,” he said. “As our plans progressed.” the wit- ness said, “‘tentative quotas were fixed by the treasurer’s office, all tentative and rather good as a goal—always high, of course, for the particular state ta drive for, and changing con- stantly Mr. Hays went into details as to the methods of organizing to the end that ther would be but one maney raising organization. i “The campaign budget of estimate was worked out beginning as of July 1, of a total amount which would he needed for the actual campaign.
