COSTS FoR » Will © Spend Approaching of Postage National Committees $6,000,000 in the Campaign -- Cost Stamps. It costs a lot of money nowadays to run for the chief office in the gift of the nation. Never before fas the presidency been seo expen- sive a luxury. The business of maintaining a "boom," which invol- ves the keeping up of a widespread popular interest and excitement, de- mands a lavish scattering of dollars, and the mere incidental expendi- tures of travel over long distances in a Special car, with stenographers, ete., run up to a pretty figure. Fortunately for Colonel Roosevelt he is not obliged to pay for these things out of his own pocket. Not being a rich man, he could not pos- sibly afford to do so. But many personal expenses to be met from his private purse are unavoidable. Whenever he is at home. he is ex- pected to keep open house. supporters from all parts of the country come to see him and have to be entertained. He 18 obliged to hire several clerks merely to ans- wer his mail. In many ways the campaign is much cheaper for the president.than for the colonel. For one thing, if Mr. Taft has any travelling to. de. he has his annual salary out of which to pay for .it; and, er item, the government . provides him with all the clerical assistance he wants, and he never has to buy a postage stamp. The nominee on either ticket, Re- publican or Democrat, will find him- self obliged to meet many extraorin- ary expenses before: election day ar- rives. Beniamin Harrison was helped out during that period by his son in-law, Robert McKee, and by other friends who contributed, Mr. Taft, who, as everybody knows, was a poor man, borrowed heavily from his brother. Colonel Roogevelt, while not wealthy, inherited a for- tune of about $150.00 from his fath- er, a glass importer in New York, and so was comparatively indepen- dent. The. total cost of naming the men for president and vice president will be something like $2,500,000 for each ticket. This estimate includ- es the railroad fares and hotel bills of the tens of thousands of dele gates who attend the county con- ventions. Then there are the state conventions, and finally the great national convention, with more than 1,000 delegates and half as many alternates. The national conventions have no standing under the laws of the United States. They are not recog- nized or their doings made valid by the statutes, but they serve the pur- pose for which they are 'intended-- namely, the selection of candidates by the great political parties, and it Political | for anoth- is undeniable that they are most in- teresting from a purely spectacular point of view. After the nomination comes election, the total cost of which is something like $25,000,000--1this being the approximate for choosing: a president of the United States. In 1896 Mark Han- na spent nearly $6,000,000 to elect McKinley. the It is well within the mark to sup-! pose that the two national commit- tees, Republican and Democratic, will together spend $6,000,000 dur- ing the approaching campaign. Each of them will send out at least 5,000 speakers whose salaries . will run from $25 to $250 a wek, with an ex- tra allowance of $8 a day for ex- penses. But for every stump speaker em- ployed by the national committee the state committees will have -ten. The rent of buildings in which the canmipaign meetings are held will amount to a tidy sum-and then there is the item of printing, which will be not less than half a million dol- lars for the Democ rats, and as much for the Republican Each nation' al committee will send out at 100,000,000 documents - speeches made or alleged been delivered in congress, ked thiougn the madl. The of such literature will go express tg the chairmen of the committees for distri- least largely have as to and by various state bution. Even with such economy each na- tional committec will spend some- thing like $300,000 for postage stamps And another rather. ex- pensive item is campaign buttons, of which 5,000,600 will bear the likenesses of each of'the two candi- dgte and an equal number that of his Democratic opponent. There will also be 5,000,000 lithographed lienesses of each of the two candi- dates sent out to the state .chair- nen. Minor expenditures - are nec- essarily multitulinous, but perhaps tye most striking peculiarity of the whole affair is that no accounting will be made of the enormous sums of money spent. The accounts will be kept by numbers, the names re- presented by them being known on< ly to two or three men. Even the persons employed to keep the ac- counts will not be in the secret, and the books when thip campaign is at an end will be burned. But to go back a step to the nom- inee. From the moment of his nomination he becomes of necessity, a popular cynosure. Detectives quietly and unobstrusively assume guardianship over him to protect him against possible attack by cranks But in other ways he is subjected to endless annoyances. Politicians and all sorts of other people make demands upon him or try to extort promises from him to be fulfilled in case of his election. Once elected the successful candi- date finds himself sore beset by all sorts of people who are eager .to make use of him for advertising purposes. Scores of tailors in dif- ferent cities exhibit the Iinaugura- tion suit weeks before the event. Cigars are named after him, but only one brand, his name being pat tented as a trademark. Manufac- turers of nostrums send him pills, spring medicines, cleansing com- pounds, etc., hoping for an acknow- ledgment which will be utilizable as an ad. There is bitter competi- tion among the hotel keepers for the patronage' and whatever hostelry he may select the rooms he occupies -- SATURDAY, JUNE 22, expenditure { _1912. | w will be known from that time on as "the president's suit," Ietching a higher rental. Mr. 'Tait has 'saved something during his administration, hut not very much probably. ~The average person might suppose that with a salary of $75,000 a year, a fine house, rent free, lights, fuel, ser- vants, music, flowers, stationery and and ¢ven a handsome yacht provid- ed he ought to be able to put near- ly all of his pay into the bank. But what empties bis pocketbook is the huge and unavoidable expenditure for entertaining. The formal din- ners he is obliged to give at frequent intervals alone cost him from $500 to $1.00 apiece. No president has ever entertain- 1 9d so lavishly or so profusely as Roosevelt. The scale of expendi- ture in the president's palace, as it was called in the early days of the republic, has risen greatly within recent years. When Grant was elected for his first term the salary attuched to the great office wads on- Iy $25,000. it Will 'pe remembpered that in 1837 a bill was introduced in con- gress raising the salary of the presi- dent from $25,000 to $50,00 and t of the members of congress 0 $8,000. There was a fierce strug- gle over jit, with many tumultuous scenes, but finally it passed house and senate. When Grant re fused to sign it, it was again passed | over his veto. Then a storm of | popular indignation arose, and. so much fuss was made in the newspa- pers about the "salary grab" that when congress met again the nrst and)' representatives. it would al- go have restored the salary of the president to its former figure, but Grant protested against it in such terms, declaring it unjust, as to pre- vent such a step. It is a curious fact that George Washington actually received two electoral votes for a third term, though he had refused to serve again--one vote from North Caroli- na and the other from Virginia, This was in the election of 1796, when John Adams led Jefferson by only three electoral votes. At the fourth election Jefferson and Burr received an equal number of elec- Ftoral votes, the result being that the house of representatives proceeded to choose the president, each state casting one vote, and Jefferson was chosen. This tie made the twelfth amend- ment necessary. Before that the constitution provided that the elec- tors should vote by ballot for two persons without specifying which was to be president and which vice president. The arrangement was that the person having the greatest number of votes (if a majority) should be président and that the one coming next should be vice president, whether he obtained a majority or not. At Monroe's second election a curious incident occurred. It was supposed that all the electors' votes were for him, but on opening the New Hampshire package it was found that one elector from that state had "bolted," explaining the matter by saying that he wanted George Washington to be the only man handed down to history as unani- mously elected. In 1884, it is related, James G. Blaine did not want the nomina- tion for president because he thought he could not carry New York, the pivotal state. He sug- gested for the ticket William T. Sherman and Robert T. Lincoln. But Sherman refused, saying that he did not think that military men were suited to the White House job. It is also related that Abraham Lincoln when a candidate for a sec- ond term offered the second place on the ticket with him to Benjamin Butler. But Butler declined the ground that he ought not to leave he army at a period of crisis to take a civil position. Daniel Webster, however, ' the only man who ever threw away the presidency twice. He ; to accept the second place on « ticket with Harrison in 1840 thus did not succeed the latter when he died. Again in 1848 he might have been vice president with Tay- | y lor if he had so wished He refus- ed, and Fillmore was put in, suec- ceding Taylor on his demise sixteen months later.
