Show MONEY IN THE LAST CAMPAIGN The Utah standpat papers repeatedly have attempted to prove that much money was used in the Roosevelt cause and some time ago, when the Roosevelt campaign fund was made public, they devoted much space to elaborating on the statement, that Roosevelt had millions mil-lions back of him. Now we have the official report of the Republican campaign committee, com-mittee, and it shows that while the Progressives spent $600,000 for national and state campaigns, the Taft forces expended $904,000 for national purposes, without figuring in the great sums spent' by the state, county and city Republican committees throughout thc United Slates. When the whole truth is brought out, we find that the Republican Republi-can campaign was one of misrepresentation and false accusation from beginning to end. Millions of dollars were spent by the Republican organizations throughout the United States, no record of which was made by the national committee and, as we pointed out before, campaign funds juch as were raised in Ogden and Weber county, aggregating at least $6,000, and other similar local contributions to the success of the Republican Re-publican part.y, national as well as local, were ignored as part of the tremendous stream of wealth released in behalf of Taft and his followers. |
