Twenty-sevcn thousand, five hundred
and sixty dollars to raise in one day.
This was the situation In the Y. N.
c. a campaign at the close Of business
last night, and the period Of the most
fcyerish interest has been reached in this
whiriwind canvass.
There is general feeling OF hopeful
ness among the workers, which means
that while the odds are almost desper-
ate. there is going TO be most strenuous
campaign TO-DAY. and possibly far into
the night. and no stone viii Ue iert un-
turned TO secure the conditional pledges
OF 10000 which expire If the $2pooo0 mark
is not reached to-day. The old plan of
the Legislature may be resorted to OF
stopping tie clock "a few minutes before
midnight The canvassing has reached
such an intense stage that those who
have not contributed, and some who
have. may expect TO be called from their
beds late tonight, to chip in and save
tile situation.
What Others Have Done.
Mr. Ward gave out figures yesterday
from his experience, showing that sue
cess was not ut all impossible. The cam
paign under his direction in Kansas City
raised 5000 on the last day, Duluth
raised $4,000 the last day. Denver raised
S35HD the last day, and Baltimore Si1,oO
on the last day of a whrlwind cam
paign. A great deal of seed has been
sown, a great deal of talk has been
created throughout the city. and to-day
is the last opportunit for the reapinG.
Those who wish to have part in this
great civic movement, which will react
on the character of the city for the
next generation. must act. and
