O. or Street City•— State TEN THOUSAND . DOLLARS AN HOUR Estimated That it Will Cost Each of the Two Great Politi cal Parties That Amount to Keep the Campaign Going — Three Thousand Spell Bind ers Ready to Go on the Stump 1 - (Washington Correspondence of Hie „ Express.) - Washington, August*®.—|Jow is the time for all good men to* come to the aid Of the party. If you can’t come, write. And don’t forget the aid. For this is the seasonTof the needful dollar, and the time of the year that sprouts grey hairs in the campaign treasurer’s heads. Ten thousand a day will keep the grey hairs away. me great kick m campaign ui 1928 has just opened. Out in the great open spaces the workers are yelling for action—and money. Ten thousand job hunters have wormed their way in persdn, by letter and by wire, into the presence of the | party exchequers only to find that j the bare boards are showing on the ' bottom. At least 5,000 plain and ,fancy plans for making the nation 1 safe for Democracy-^ r Republican ism—have been brought up during the past six weeks. Every plan would make the planner well to do. I Upwards of 3,000 spell binders are. all set to bind. Alt they need is the I wherewithal. They have offered their ! services at sums ranging all the way i from “necessary expenses” to $1,000 ! a day. At least 50 gentlemen scat tered throughout the Union want to 1 start daily papers to boost Hoover or Smith', as the case may be. They are long on patriotism, short on cash. So they have come to the place where the long green grows . They want all the way from $10,000 to $100,000 apiece. The button manufacturers expect to declare extra dividends this year— out of the Democratic and Republi can treasuries. The railroad com panies hope to fatten their passenger revenues with $50,000 special trains and oodles of private cars for the distinguished statesmen who will flit hither and thither on their rag chewing chores.- A smile perches on the phiz of the radio boss. All the radio crowd is looking for is a cool half million rbrofoasicgtntadhe ? j half million for broadcasting the i noble oratory. The Bureau of En 1 graving and Printing has run off several million extra two-cent I stamps. All over the country they are oiling up the printing presses. I And two tired, harassed gentlemen, upon whom has been wished the job of getting the money to pay for all this, are biting their nails and growing grouches. For the campaign is all set to go and the money just simply is’nt there—yet. And heaven only knows where it is all conning from and when it is coming* The- patriot with a thought in his head outnumb ers the patriot with a dollar in his hand something like 50 to 1. ,This campaign is going to cost each side something like $1,000,000 a month from now to November. Fig ure it out on the daily basis, 25 working days per month, eight work ing hours per day, and you have a combined spending of at least $10, 000 an hour from now till November 6th. That of course, means working ine hours only. The office force goes out to lunch. At the end of its half hour, expenses have gone up an other $5,000. Eighty dollars, a mii»f ute, or thereabouts, is the present market price of politics. Forty dol lars for the donkey, forty for the 1 elephant, if the money is spent— fifty-fifty. One can imagine the Democratic treasurer— or the Republican —look ing at the clock. Every tick of the , pendulum and, bang, another six bits has been shot to glory. Every houi : is a golden hour, every day a $40, ! 000 affair. No wonder they called in the General Motors Wizard tc boss the job. John D. himself woulc gc broke if he tried to finance this business out of income alone. Where is the money coming from ? Good sized wads of it are coming from the boys who made theirs out of Republican of Democratic principles. There is a goodish group of the well to do that waxed financially fat in the days of Wilson. They will kick in all the way from $1^000 to $25, 000 each. There is a still larger group that were prosperous under the succeeding Republican adminis trations. Individually and by busi ness firms and organizations they will come through. Every high tariff business ought to be good for a nifty or so. Every free trader ought to be good for a dab of cream on the Dem ocratic side. This group includes a bevy of New York bankers that make money fastest when the tariff is low. Then, too, there are the party work ers who have been on the payroll, Federal, State or local. In some States this business of getting con tributions from public employees has been brought down to a fine science In New Jersey, for instance, some years ago everybody on the payroll from the high muckamucks down to the .assistant typists were asked to contribute about five per cent of their annual pay. They called his money Wiskiskie’s toll. And they paid; if they didn*t—off with their heads. The AtecT Queen of Alice in 'Wonder- ■ land was bom in New Jersey in a campaign year. In other states the hand of Wis kirkio isn't ao heavy and doesn’t get into so many little pockets.

A Congressman, for instance, is naturally expected to kick in With at least $2,500 toward financing his own campaign and that of the party generally. A noble senator—six years on the Federal payroll at $10, 000 a year is generally good for from $2,500 to $5,000. > Rich Sena tors can be touched up for up to $25,000; poor and improvident sena tors, three in a bunch for $100. The latter also contribute-'time and wind. The federal payroll amounts tc about $800,000,000 a year, including the army and navy wnich, of course are absolutely worthless as campaigr contributors. Few federal employee:; below the $8,000—a—year line con tribute much; many of the higher paid employees regard it as a privi lege to pay something. Outside the public servants, there is the general public. It is the last line of attack. It is good for what it is good for. It will be asked* request ed, urged, besought, implored, to come through. If it does, then there will be more than $1,000,000 a month to spenu. if it at.ben’t, then there will be a cute littie deficit, to make up. i This money isn’t going to be thrown to the birdies. Indeed, the birdies around both headquarters are lean hungry, and sad-looking this year. The writer knows of a certain news paper man who made great plans to cash in on the campaign. After weeks of wire-pulling, he finally was offered a job, at $60 a week. He is already getting $75 in his pre_ sent job. t Printing and stationary must had.
