OTHER INFORMATION CONCERNING CONTRIBUTORS

Inasmuch as the preceding information by the committee relates only to contributors who each gave $500 or more, the committee also made a study of smaller contributions but is able to report them only in total numbers of persons contributing certain amounts.

On this basis a digest of Republican National Committee reports shows that 57,446 individuals contributed up to $50 each during the political campaign to that party; 3,870 persons contributed $50 to $100 each; 7,180 persons contributed $100 to $500 each; 1,464 persons contributed $500 to $1,000 each; 1,024 persons contributed $1,000 to $2,500 each; 251 persons contributed $2,500 to $5,000 each; 205 persons contributed $5,000 to $7,500 each; 9 persons contributed $7,500 to $10,000 each; 35 persons contributed $10,000 to $15,000 each; and 25 persons contributed from $15,000 up.

The following tabulation sets forth these amounts in detail:

Number of contributions to Republican National Committee, classified by amounts

NOTE. This tabulation includes all individual cash contributions received by the Republican National Committee from June 1 to Dec. 31, 1936, as shown on the financial statements of said committee filed with the Clerk of the House of Representatives.

DEMOCRATIC CLASSIFICATIONS

The accounting method used by the Democratic National Committee by which all contributors of small sums up to $50, and from $50 to $100, were grouped in a total sum, and not listed individually, makes it impossible to estimate the total number of individual contributors giving these smaller amounts comparable to the figures presented in the Republican analysis. However, the tabulations do show that 3,982 contributors gave from $100 to $500 each; 554 gave $500 to $1,000 each; 469 gave $1,000 to $2,500 each; 156 gave $2,500 to $5,000 each; 120 gave $5,000 to $7,500 each; 8 gave $7,500 to $10,000 each; 25 gave $10,000 to $15,000 each; and 22 gave $15,000

or more.

NOTE.-Contributions under $100 were not, as a rule, listed individually. They were listed by lump sums covering definite periods. This fact accounts for the relatively small number of contributions in amounts under $100.

LABOR'S CONTRIBUTIONS

The combined financial assistance of all labor organizations to all political organizations during the 1936 Presidential campaign through direct contributions, purchase of advertising in campaign books, and loans, amounted to $770,324.35. So far as this committee can determine, this figure is unprecedented by financial contributions from labor organizations in any previous political campaign in the United States.

The following recapitulation shows the total contributions, loans, or other financial assistance rendered to political organizations.

The committee desires to point out that the labor contributions referred to in the following tabulation, do not include contributions by individual local unions to various local organizations such as county political committees. These compilations are from records as filed in detail with the Clerk of the House.
