"We must make a virtue of our
poverty," is the order of National
Chairman Mack, and taking this as

an organizations
havo amounted to up to date is not
accurately known. It Is privately ad
mitted that there Is not in sight for
the entlro Democratic national cam
paign more than $200,000, which will
not go fur toward an aggressive fight.
Much of the money gathered Is be
ing used In Chicago for the Western
cumpalgn. Eastern headquarters in
the Hoffman House was expected not
only to finance itself with contribu
tions from this part of the country,
but also to send remittances west
ward. But hard times have fallen on the
Hoffman House political managers.
Contributions are few and small. The
most noticeable absentees are the rich
democrats who financed the cam
paign of 1904 to the extent of $800,-
000. So far as Is known, not one of
them has contributed a cent, and
most of them are still In Europe.
"Flngy" (Vinncrs Has Troubles.
Chairman "Flngy" Conners, of the
state committee, is also having his
troubles. Nobody cared to contribute
to his campaign fund until after the
state convention I held, and the Iden
tity o' the candidates established.
Under these circumstances the demo
cratic campaigners here are simply
marking time. No literature Is being
sent out. no meetings arranged, no
speakers engaged. Everything was In
abeyance pending the nominations.
On the republican side there Is one
great advantage namely, credit.
Possession of that valuable asset, bred
of rich funds and prompt payments
In the past, has enabled both nation
al and state managers to go ahead
with active work almost regardless of
the diminished contribution. All the
machinery of party organization is
kept up from year to year by regu
larly employed staffs of workers.
The democrats have been obliged
to built up everything afresh out of
ihe debris of past disasters. The re
publicans hud a machine In perfect
repulr ready to start the Instant

quarters In the metropolitan tower
resembles a business establishment,
with eich department running regu
uar hours und filling In daily Its as
signed part of the political game.
There Is no confusion, no losa motion
and no uncertainty of action.
Every branch of the service save
one Is free from trouble. The "room
of gloom" is the treasurer's office,
for the obligations are piling up. Ex
perts figure that It costs twice as
much to finance a republican cam
paign as it does a democratic one.
The latter have been accustomed to
practice economy, und to secure vol
unteers w hose only remuneration is
political glory. Hut the late Senator j
Hunna, with his rich campaign chests'
of the past, and his lavish expend!-1
tures, put the republican machine on a1
different basis. i

There was talk of the necessity of:

The Hearst campaigners are also
suffering from the pangs of poverty.
