FORTY NEWSPAPERS WORKING.
AN ALLIANCE FOR DEMOCRATIC PRIN-
CIPLES THAT is CERTAIN 70 SUCCEED.
Forty Democratic newspaper are
now in the Western Democratic Cam
paign Fund Alliance. Each is per
forming the most valiant service in
the battle for Tariff Reform that it
is possible for political journal to
render. Each has before it the task
Of not merely preaching the gospel of
Democracy but of persuading readers
to believe that there are other ways
for Democrats to help their party
than by merely voting for its can
didates.
To give dollars or dimes into
the party treas ury is now one Of the
best ways by which firm Democrat
can help the cause of Cleveland and
Stevenson.
Money must be had to instruct the
West, to win over its faltering, hesitat-
ing voters, to convince them that
times will be better under Demo-
cratic than Republican administration.
These forty DEMOCRATIC newspapers
have united to appeal to the people
for money wherewith to carry on an
unprecedented educational campaign
in commonwealths where, unaided,
Democrats have recently wrested
victory in State contests from the
plutocratic Republican foe.
There now impends national con.
flict. The ambitious, loyal Demo-
Gratis Of Iowa, Wisconsin, Michigan,
Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota and
Nebraska will fight hard to triumph,
but success will not be theirs if they
are compelled to rely solely upon
their own resources.
The forty Democratic newspapers
in the Western Democratic Cam
paign Fund Alliance are endeavoring
to secure from the Democratic
masses the money which the Western
Democrats themselves cannot fur
nish. Forty influential newspapers
associated in such a movement can
accomplish much, but with more
newspapers appealing for subscrip.
tons far larger results can be attained.
The forty newspapers already joined
in this novel undertaking represent
twelve States. There is no reason
why every State should not be rep
resented on the list of The WORLDS
allies. No matter how insignificant
may seem the sum collected by
newspaper in a small town, a hund-
red such amounts will make an i'm
posing aggregate. Besides, all the
money so collected will mean Just SO
much more for the Western cam
paign than there would be if this
plan had not been placed in operation.
The importance, therefore, of the CO.
operation of as many Democratic
newspapers as possible is manifest.

Democratic Campaign Fund Alliance

The WORLD at o'clock last night.
