fact that this organization is for politi-

the Union was reorganized completely
SO as to make it strictly military or

whole direction of the affairs of the or

Governor Shaw Asks Contributions
for Porto Kican Sufferers.
Des Moines, Aug. Ex-Governor Shaw
yesterday had mailed to the mayors of
towns and auditors of counties, circu-
lars asking their cooperation in raising
Porto Rican relief, either in cash or
useful supplies He especially urges,
however. that contributions be sent in
cash so far as possible, as many things
which might be sent would be useless in.
the tropics. In the circular letter to
county auditors the governor says.
II have caused to be- mailed to your
address several copies Of a proclanaa-
ton issued, as stated therein, in answer
to an appeal from the war department.
May ask you to have them freely cir
culated throughout the county. and 9th
erwise brought to the attention of the
people, and also that you appoint sub
committees, as suggested, wherever
deemed practicable and advisable for
the territory not within the cities and
towns? Permit me to suggest. further
more, that YOU cooperate with the
mayors of the municipalities within
the county, and arrange with them for
taking care of the supplies which may
be contributed until they can be for
Warded to their destination. Thus, too,
each county Will the better obtain
credit for the sum of its contributions.
Instructions as to shipment of the goods
contributed will be made public as soon
as arrangements now being made shall
have been completed 1t is suggested,
however, in view of the fact that most
supplies. such as can be made available
in the tropics, may be obtained on bet
ter terms nearer the scsne of the disas-
ter. contributions of money will have
the greater practical value. Such con-
tributions. RENTED as suggested in the
proclamation, will be duly receipted and
public acknowledgment thereof made.
Nevertheless, ways Will be found for
utilizing supplies that may be donated.
Il need not remind you OF the worthi-
ness of the object for which the appeal
is made. nor how desira Bile it is that the
people of our state shall contribute
thereto with their usual promptness
and generosity"
No contributions We're received by the
state treasurer yesterday for the fund.
and it looks as if this part of the appeal
would receive little response.
