P Is Run- ning on Credit System. A financial crisis hae fellen oa all political headquarters, severe as the ‘low that tiled up Wall street last au- tumn. The Democrats are suffering Worst, but the Republicans are much ‘burt. The Democratic National Committee- men in oharge of Eastern headquarters fhave had several conferences on the money question. Some were on the Verge of giving up the endeavor to make an aggressive fight {n this part of the country, Others counselled mak- ing the best front possible along lines of strictest economy, and this sentl- ment prevailed, “We must make a virtue of our pov- @rty !n the campaign,” was the order of Cha!rman Mack. Spel ers on the stump will pro- @lalm the fact, and well they may, for @ratory must be content with unpald honor, There !s no money In the Demo- eratic treasury for speakers this year, Almost the only contributions to the| Democratic treasury so far have been the collection of small sums by West- ern and Southern newspapers and the pools of pennies and dollars made up by enthustistic Bryan organizations. How mich these have amounted to up to date Is not accurately known. Worse Than In 1900, AM told there fs not In sight for the entire Democratic national campa!gn more than $200,000, which will go little way toward an aggreasive fight. It ts less than Bryan had !n 1900, which was known at headquarters as the “Starva- tlon and Poverty Campaign.” Most of the money contributed ts be- inr used at Chloago for the Western campalgn. Eastern headquarters in the Hoffman House was expected not only | to Anance Itself with contributions trom this part of the country but also to send remittances westward. But hard times have fallen on the Hoffman House political managers, Contributions @re few and small. In the face of these embarrassing conditions the group of Democratic leaders carrying on the Eastern cam- palgn are showing magztificent courage. "They are making personal sacritice of time and money, which some of tm can {il afford Every day brings new recruits volunteering services of vary- fng degree. The most noticeable absen- tees are the rich Democrats who financed the campaign of 194 to the extent of $8001. Most of them are staying in Europe, Conners Has Troubles, Too.

On the Republican side there ts one @reat advantage—namely, credit. Pos- @ossion of that valuable asset bred of Tich funds and prompt payments in the Past has enabled both national and Btate managers to go ahead with active work almost regardless of the dimin- dshed contributions, G. 0.

All the machinery of party organiza- tion is kept up from year to year by regularly employed staffs of workers The Democrats have been obliged to tulld up everything afresh out of the ebris of past disasters. The Republi. cans had a machine In perfect repair ready to start the instant steam was tarned on.

It costs twice @s much to finance a Republican oam- palgn as {t does a Democratic one, The latter have been accustomed to practice economy and to secure volunteers whose only remuneration 1s political glory. But the late Senator Hanna, with his rich campaign chests of the past and tia Favieh expenditures, put the Repub- Mean machine on a different basis, Oot Used to Economy. Just as the hard times of last winter ‘were called the rich man's canic and the possessors of luxuries found econ- | omy painful to practisa, so the pros- peots of a depleted treasury are causing Bightmaren to Republican managers, There is talk of the necessity of a Bryan sore to make Wail street and the tariff protected Interests give up, just as Mr. Hanna worked the game fn 198.

Will Swell Bryan’s Vote Leader Murphy, of the Thirty- fourth District, Predicts Big Democratic Sweep There. By Arthur H. Murphy, Executive Member Tammany Hall Thirty-fourth Assembly District. I delleve it a very conservetive eati- mate to say that Bryan and Kern will beat Taft and Sherman in the Thirty- fourth Assembly district by not less than 3,000 votes, This assertion ts based upon facts and figures which I have carefully collated from reports of my @eotion district captains, Bince my return from the National Democratic Convention at Denver I have kept In close touch with political conditions in this district, At the Tammany district headquar ters lawt night 1 saw from two hun- drea to three hundred men, fully 90 per cent, of them seeking employment. They are mechanics, laborers, and men who have held various kinds ef clerical positions, all of them out of work be- cause of the depression in all lines of business, First-olass mechanics are glad te go to work as conductors or motormen, or anything else of a temporary character that they can get, In order to keep their wives and children from starving, What takes place nightly in my headquarters fe only a repetition of what happens In every other Assembly district through- out the city. Moat of the men out of work attribute their plight to Republican policies, and are In favor of a change In the conduct of the National Government.
