"Life-saving Fund"
Chairman Cannon has started what
Dc calls "A Life saving Fund" In a
large book made expressly for that
purpose. which has space sufficient for
10000 names. he proposes 20 enter the
name of every man. woman and child
Of Utah who contributes towards the
Democratic fund In explaining how
De happened 20 call the fund by that
name. he said.
The political life Of Utah is In
jeopardy. We propose TO save IL.
Every cent contributed viii be used
Tor that purpose. We intend to pre-
serve the book and hand it down TO
p0sterity. BY the time the campaign is
over 1 hope 10 see 10000 good Demo-
cratic names inscribed therein"
Before the meeting OF the executive
committee had adjourned the chair an
nounced that the first day contribu-
tons 10 the fund had been made BY
~ individuals. OF that number sew
enty-hve are from Ogden. 4 check
for the personal contributions from
those Democrats was received by
Chairman Cannon. accompanied by a
letter containing the names OF the sub
scTibers. These were entered in the
'Life-saving Fund"
To raise the money necessary to
carry on the Democratic campaign.
Chairman Cannon has adopted the end
less chain scheme. Each Democrat In
the state Is asked TO contribute the
sum OF 81. And when he donates that
sum he pledges himself 70 induce an
other Democrat to not only do the
same thing, but 10 secure a promise
from the second man that he will Sc
cure contribution from a third.
The chairman wishes II distinctly
understood that no contribution in eX-
cess OF $40 viii be received BY the COM
mittee from any individual. unless the
committee has made the request that
a larger sum De donated. sums rang
ing from IS cents 10 $40 will be gra-
ci0usly received at any and all times.
u look upon each donation as an in
Nrslment in Democratic principles as
against Republican rule" said Chair
man Cannon last evening. and I feel
certain that anyone who contributes
10 the Democratic fund will not work
or abet the cause of the Republican
party. Their donation. even though II
De- but % cents, is an investment. And
as such they viii protect IL. the same
as they would so much money placed
on deposit in a bank That being the
case, who is going 20 accept a cash
oHer from the Republicans to work
Tor them after they have invested In
the Democratic party?"
