It was decided then that we would go through with every economy consistent v-ith efficiency and after the elec tion continue the raising of money until any deficit was met. "Of course the easiest way to liquidate this Indebtedness would be to appeal to a limited n amber of generous Republicans who could cive substantial amounts. This eonld have been dene before election: it coulj be done now, bat this policy I am unwilling to adopt except as a very last reort.
