Appeal for Aid,

To the Voters of Iowa:
At meeting of the democratic state
central committe held at Des Moines
on July 2lst it was decided to ask the
voters of Iowa who desire the election
of w. ]. Bryan to the presidency and
Fred E. White as the chief executive
of Iowa to remit one dollar to N. F.
Reed, treasurer of the democratic state
central committee, Ottumwa, Iowa.
Do it now.
AS you know the committee will re-
ceive no aid from the corporations and
the plan of raising campaign fund by
popular dollar subscription not only
meets the approval of Mr.. Bryan but is
most heartily endorsed by all people
who believe in government of the
people. Send your subscription to the
treasurer, N. F. Reed, Ottumwa, Iowa,
and the fund will be judiciously ex-
pended by the committee. keeping q
strict account of receipts and expendi-
lures.
A dollar is not much for you to con-
tribute and you should be willing and
glad to send in your little mite now
that the committee may have the need
ed cash to organize and prepare for q
vigorous campaign. The prospects for
success were never brighter for the
party. and the mutual support Of those
who believe the people should rule will
make victory certain.
The committee feels that it is entit-
led to your assistance will you not be
one of the first to send your dollar to
N. F.. Reed, treasurer, Ottumwa, Iowa.
BY order Of the committee.
