GRTGGS CALLS FOR
 THE CONTRIBUTIONS
SENDS OUT THOUSANDS OF CIR. cULARs ASKING DEMOCRATS TO SEND s1 TO DEFRAY THE CAM PAlGN EXPENSES.

Washington. August 1o = Chairman Griggs of the democratic congressional committee today sent out many thous- and circulars calling for s1 subscriptions from democrats throughout the country, the money to be used for the incoming campaign.
 In his letter Chairman Griggs says: gro all democratic voters:
 If there ever was a time in the hls- tory of the democratic party for a man. Hesitation of loyalty and patriotism on the part of it's members. it is right now. If we are to win a victory and elect a President two years hence we must first elect house of representatives this fall A democratIc house will inves..gale C .. y department of the government. With all those honeyeombed with graft the edges of which only have been touched by re- cent exposures and prosecutions, there will be a revelation of rottenness that will astound the country and create a demand for a democratic administration to clean the government workshop. To win the house, we need money to de- fray legitimate expenses to get our vote. We have no protected monopolles from which to draw to fill our eoffers as does those of the republican party, We must, therefore, appeal to loyal democrats for contributions.
 twill you send us s1 and in return for this we will send you copies of our cam palgn literature by the committee? You have the thanks of the entire demo- cratic party for your favorable response to our request. Address all remttances to J. M. Griggs. Washington. D. C."

ROCKEFELLER WILL
 INVEST IN AFRICA
Oil Maenate's Interest In Railroad De- velopment Caused Recent Rise
 In African Stocks.

London, August 10.-The Times this morning says 1t learns from a reliable source that John D. Rockefeller has furnished funds for railroad develop ments in Tanganylka, Africa. This led to the recent rise in Tanganyika shares and RhodesIans generally, In it's financial article the Times says the development of the Tanganyika company's potential resources have been checked by the difficulty of raising capital for the completion Sf the railroad communi- cation. Although no official announcement have been made it is believed that the difficulty has been overcome.
 The investment of American capital in South Africa, which already has bene- hted so much from American engineering skill, is naturally an event of some im- portance.
