The fact calls a't"niion to an al pec: of the campaign which at the time was one that engaged the public (merest Intently, and, If properly seen is of , considerable importance.

Those charges for about iv. o WSSks were the chief b.irden of the campaign discussion , When the evidence was all in, it turned out that the Republicans were collecting a considerable campaign : fund, though iar short of the figures Cox mentioned at various times.
