...choice as campaign manager is a sign that the Johnson campaign will be a thoroughly professional affair and that it will be well financed. Frank R. Kent, one of the ablest of political correspondents, estimates that every one of the active candidates?Coolidge, Johnson, Underwood, McAdoo, will have from $100,000 to $500,000 spent in his behalf before the Convention.
