A statement made by the repub- lican national committee says: “The contributors to the repub- Iican fund for this period number 34,867, and the detailed list shows only 16 contributions in excess of $1,000, aggregating $38,750. The largest single contribution was from the Hamilton Club of Chicago, whose members subscribed the sum of $6,120.50, Other contributions, as set down in detail, range from 25 cents to $1,000 and cover the en- tire country.” A hasty perusal of the bulky 1,- 200-page volume in which the con- tributions are listed in the order of theils receipt shows that the “high gun” in the republican givers’ anks is S. G. Kennedy, oll man nd banker, of Tulsa, Okla., with 5,000. Four other Tulsa republic- ans, it appears, have gone over the $1,000 limit, with contributions of $1,250 each. They are Willlam Saks, Percy Magee, R. M. and H. H. dling. Other contributors topping the $1,000 mark include J. E. Backus, of Norfolk, Va.: Ledyard Ogdell, Jr., of Albany. N. T.: W. H. R Hillyard; of Pittsburg, all with $2,000. A joint contribution. of $2,000 is ac- knowledged from Philip J. and Al- bert G. Goodhary, of New York city. . ¢ Donors of $6,000.

They are: Henry Hornblow- er, of Boston, of the Stock Brok- erage firm of Hornblower & Weeks; illiiam Hamlin Childs, of New ork, the former progressive who was so active in the fusion cam- paigns waged on behalf of the late Mayor Mitchel, of New York; George 68 C.
