Summary: IF THE DEMOGRAPHER had to take his own census and the election analyst had to tally the ballots, they would be in the same predicament as the student of campaign finance. There are no convenient, dependable data on the sources and uses of political money; a student must forage far and wide to find materials with which to work. In consequence, any broad study of money in elections is necessarily a cooperative venture. The studies initiated in 1953 at the University of North Carolina in Chapel Hill, which are concluded in this book, have received aid of some sort from over 1,000 persons. Author acknowledgments are inevitably incomplete, yet they indicate the many kinds of people whose good will and help have been essential. He can burden none of them with the results, but I feel a sense of personal debt to each that is difficult to express and impossible to repay.
