We have no way of knowing at this time how much money was spent in the purchase of votes and in colonization. But while these would accoitet for some of the RepubUcan gains, they could not account for the widespread increase in the Republican rote. The prosperity argument was probably the most potent one used by the Republicans. They compared present conditions with the panic times of 1898 to 189G, and this argument had weight with those who did not stop to consider the reasons for the change.
