AN APPEAL To the Republican* of the Country and All Those Who Aided Thewt? The Republican success in the 1920 election has been commensurate with the quality of our candidates and the righteousness of our cause. This success is the partnership accomplishment of all Republicans everywhere and of hundreds of thousand of well-wishers of good government regardless of past party affiliations. To all at tnese we now appeal, because it is the mutual responsibility of us who will share alike in the consequent mutual benefit of good government. . The plan of limiting campaign contributions to <I.OOO, adopted by your national organization, has left your party unmortgaged. It has been a most advanced step in placing the business of politics on the highest plane, and has brought an interest on the part of thousands who never before nave been concerned with politics. Some weeks before election it was apparent that the expenses pro-' vided for in our budget, with the strictest economy would exceed the contributions, but we were willing either to leave undone any legitimate effort essential to complete success or to change the method of raising mopey. We were then sure and we are now qpre that every Republican desires that the expenses of the campaign be distributed in this manner. Your presidential campaign this year cost no more than that of 1916, when a dollar went nearly twice’as far as it does today. Four years ago the bulk of the campaign fund came from 750 contributors, while this year the approximately $2,000,000 contributed to date for the presidential election has come from 50,000 givers. The victory won, the raising of the deficit would be easy, indeed, if your committee were willing to abandon the policy of keeping down the average of contribution. This we are determined not to do. It was a fight of all the people. The result speaks for itself. If lifted a burden from the minds of millions and points the way to better'and happier days. We ask now for that additional help from all which is merited both by the successful conclusion of the effort and by the consequent contribution to the welfare of all of our people and the glory of the nation. Let us now have help from every American who is grateful for the victory and all that it means to the country. It might well be in the nature of a thanksgiving Offering for the return to a certainly safe, sane, constitutional progressive government. Let us by general and generous giving put the seal of approval upon the policy of- putting a national administration in power free from any possible embarrassment of special obligation to any man, men or group of men. Let us make the contribution, whether large or small, and whether or not we have ' heretofore given, commensurate with our means and our appreciation, always within the maximum limit heretofore fixed. Let us get our names on the cornerstone of a sturdier political structure, upon the roll of those who have-helped make possible a campaign of which, in methods and result, we may as Republicans and patriots be justly proud. Most earnestly we urge that this aid be given quickly, that your committee may be enabled to discharge the party’s obligations and turn to further constructive work in behalf of party and country.

Blaine, Jr., Eastern Treasurer, and sent to the Committee’s office, 19 JWejL ' 44th Street, New York, City, N. Y.
