SPEED UP CASH, CRY SENT OUT BY G. 0. P. HEADS / \ Election Sixty Days Away, Only Sixth of Budget Subscribed. BY PAUL R. MALLON United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.—The Republican presidential campaign is along with a safe surplus, although only one-sixth of its 3,000,000 campaign budget so far has been subscribed. Following publication of figures showing the financial condition of the national committee, headquarters rent out orders today calling field lieutenants’ attention to the fact that the election is only sixty days away and that contributions must be accelerated. The figures showed $658,418 total receipts up to Sept. 1, with expenditures of $312,216, leaving a balance of $346,202. Seek Big Money Aid The reports revealed the automobile industry financially infcrested in the Hoover campaign as well as that of Governor Smith. They listed thirty-six women contributors, more than ever have given big money in a presidential campaign before. They indicated the strategists have dropped the old idea of promoting $1 or “drop-in-the-hac” donations. Funds will be obtained from those best able to pay. The lists showed 264 contributors gave $553,922, while the remaining 1,290 gave only $6,117? Ten Give $25,000 Each Ten men ga' e $25,000 each, including three leaders in the automobile industry—W- C. Durant, Walter Chrysler, and Alfred P. Sloan, Jr., all of New York. The other seven largest contributors were George Eastman, Kodak manufacturer, Jeremiah Milbank, eastern treasurer of the Republican National Committee; E. F. Hutton, Ernest L. Woodward, Mortimer Schiff, banker; Walter H. Aldridge and Charles Hayden, all are from New York State. There was one $20,000 contribution from F. Edson White of Chicago; one $15,000 from Arthur Whitney, Mendham, N. J., and seven who gave SIO,OOO each.. Even with this formidable list of contributors and the surplus, campaign directors are not entirely satisfied. Expenses just have begun. Five-sixths of the national budget remains to be raised in the next two months, as the party platform has promised there will be no deficit.

The money raisers are complaining to leaders that their work is more difficult this year because of the recent senatorial disturbances over campaign contributions. Hoover Shuns Cash Angle The nominee, Hoover, has disassociated himself entirely from the (honey-raising or spending angle of the campaign. His only restriction has been an order to his leaders that they must accept no sums from those who expect returns from the Government. Hoover today started writing his labor speech, to be delivered at Newark, N. J., Sept. 17. He expects to finish it before Saturday, so he may take his expected fishing trip down Chesapeake Bay early next week. MEET ON EDUCATION State Board Holds First Meeting Friday.

Pastors and laymen met todaj with Bert E. Smith at the Chamber of Commerce to plan entertainment for the Methodist men’s convention here Dec. 4. Mrs. O. W.

The “free lot scheme” of selling real estate was denounced by T. M. Overley, manager of the Better Business Bureau, speaking at the weekly luncheon of the Indianapolis Real Estate Board at the Chamber of Commerce Thursday noon. Overley explained operations of companies which sell lots in subdivisions by offering a chance on a free lot. "Expenses” which the “winner” must pay to obtain title actualy only covers the value of the lot, which usually is undesirable. The victim then is urged to buy a more desirable lot at a higher price, he said. “The Ohio Real Estate Board of examiners recently announced that under anew licensing law, licenses will not be granted to brokers and salesmen using such practices,” Overley said. Montana’s oil wells are produc. ing oil at the rate of 8,000,000 barrels annually, with a value of more than $11,000,000.

CURTIS PLEASED BY RECEPTION ON EAST COAST Confident New England to Go Republican as Usual. BY KENNETH G. CRAWFORD United Press Stall Correspondent BOSTON, Mass., Sept. 6.—Senator Charles Curtis, Kansas, who is campaigning New England as the Republican vice presidential nominee, will leave Massachusetts today confident that it will go Republican, as usual, next November. He believes the same issues that have kept the State Republican in other presidential elections- protective tariff and prosperity—will be the deciding factors again in this campaign. Curtis was pleased with the reception he received from Boston audiences Wednesday with two high tariff speeches. More than 10,000 persons besides the radio audiences of three broadcasting stations heard him. He made no mention of prohibition, the issue on which Democrats are conceded a chance this year to break New England’s normal Republican solidarity, but spoke almost entirely on economic questions. Curtis will motor to Salem today for a reception and luncheon under auspices of the local Hoover organization. He Will make only a brief extemporaneous address there. Tomorrow he will speak at Bangor, Maine, and Saturday at Portland. Tariff isi the announced topic of both addresses. The first heavier-than-air machine to fly across the Atlantic was the naval seaplane NC-4.
