Republican purse strings tighten as Mead campaign funded
Republican leaders in the state spar over funds for A B Mead's gubernatorial bid. State Chairman B B Palmer seeks 16 000 to 14 000 from rail and streetcar interests and wealthy Republicans, but many resist backing the ticket amid internal splits. Palmer eyes September 1 for pledges, faces reluctance from governors and officials, and even a banker’s doubt. The national committee may aid weak states, with Sen. Lavi Ankeny supervising, while White Walla pledges likely go unheard.
