 Makes . Statement.

Every citizen Of Montgomery will De given an opportunity to contribute to the cause of Democracy today. Committees appointed by the County Democratic Committee. will begin promptly At II o'clock this morning to canvass the business district of Mont Gomery for funds to be sent to the Ma tionai Committed. .t The city members of the Democratic Executive Committee of Montgomery county have received unanimous ap- proval in their efforts to make sys- femAtic canvass for funds to aid the National Campaign Committee" said Chairman A. H. Arlington of the County Committee yesterday. Here tofore tho South. on account of its poverty and the great task of caring For its local affairs, has never felt called upon to contribute very largely to the expenses of the national cam patgns but this year conditions are diff ferent--io, serious opposition to De. moeracy exists Anywhere South, and ell efforts can now be given to helping our friends ct the North. Times are prosperous. and 1t is believed the con- trtbutions will be generously given.
 If a united effort was made all over the South such, as will be made in Montgomery today, at Least half mill lion dollars should be raised. The canvass will be carried on in a thor oughly systematic manner. Each Committee will be supplied with blanks that have been furnished by the Na- tional Campaign Committee on which subscribers to the fund are to write their names and the amount sub scribed. These blanks with the sub scriptions will be remitted through the regular course and every cent contrib uted will go directly to MT. Peabody, the Treasurer of the National Cam paign Committee. It Is believed that the Committee will meet with a hearty response from every lover of Democ- racy and white supremacy. and from the excellent arrangements contrived, dividing the city into districts and ap- pointing committee for each district, 1t will take only short while to make the canvass"
 Tho chairmefi of the different com- rnittees will be furnished with the blanks by Chairman Arlington early this morning, and they are expected to get their committees together and start promptly at II o'clock.
