President Roosevelt understands that Republican National Committee Chairman Hitchcock has been affected by low funds. Republican National Committee Treasurer George Rumsey Sheldon will likely appreciate Roosevelt’s response to William Jennings Bryan’s proposal to publish campaign contributions, as he used an idea which Sheldon had previously given him. When Hitchcock and Sheldon come to visit, Roosevelt will have them over for lunch or dinner. Roosevelt suggests collecting small popular subscriptions to assist the ticket.
