 CHICAGO, Sept I5.-If publishers O. ! Democratic papers throughout the country are as successful as Mir l Robt. Ewing of the New Orleans States in raising funds for the Demo cradle national campaign, Chairman Moses C. Wetmore of the Finance committee Nili not want for money So meet legitimate campaign expenses. Mir. Ewing who has been here attend ing the meeting of the Democratic national committee has collected a popular subscription fund of approNi- amtely 5000. This has been accom- plished within the past three or four weeks. MT. Ewing predicts that the States fund will grow and that it will finally be as much as $20,000.
 Our people are taking a lively inter est in this work of raising popu;ai fund for the election of Bryan and Kern" said Mr. Ewing today They realize fully the importance of getting a sufficiently large fund to run the campaign, and they know that this money must come from the people. The trusts and the special interests will save the Republican party the necessity of going out and raising money by small subscriptions That is the reason this unprecedented collec- ton of a campaign fund for the cleo ton of presidential candidates has been comparatively easy. When we started our campaign fund contribu- tions came largely from New Orleans. but now every parish in the state is swelling the fund Already Demo crats are regarding the contribution ol funds towards the election of Bryan and Kern as a patriotic duty. Fully five hundred registrars and judges of election in Louisiana, who earn S3.0U a day for their services one day in each campaign year, have contributed their earnings to the Democratic na- tional campaign fund That shows the extent of the personal sacrifices being made by Democrats in this pres identiaI contest gratuitous offer ing on the part of party workers is worth more in this contest than the contributions of Harrimans, Crom- wells, Du Fonts, Sheldons and Up hams
 The Democratic National committee is not overlooking opportunities in Pa cffic Coast states and a very vigorous campaign is to be conducted in those western states The reports Chair man Mack has received from Califor- nia, Oregon and Washington are con vincing that Democrats have a fine chance to carry all of those states. The national committee will work in harmony with the state committees. The fight is to be an aggressive one. With the object Of perfecting an or ganization in the Pacific Coast states and developing plan for campaign, a meeting is to be held in Portland on the 18th inst at which will be present the national committeeman and state chairman from the three states men toned.
 Speaking of political conditions in the west, Mir. Miller said today: Bryan and Kern will carry Oregon this veal, though I notice in the morning papers that United States Senator. Jonathan Bourne says that Democrats haven't a chance in the west The best ans wer I can make to this statement is to cite Senator Bourne as an authority against himself. Prior to Republican national convention the senator was proclaiming from one end of tae coun- try to the other that the nomination of Judge Taft would result in his de feat in the nation and a loss of Ore gop to the Republican party. MT Bourne was for the renomination of President Roosevelt, but l think at the time he correctly diagnosed the s1tua- tion in Oregon when he declared that Taft could not carry the state against Bryan.

 Reuresentative James W. Murphy 0. tbe Third Wisconsin congressional dis tr;ct was a. caller at Democratic head marters today He thinks Democrats have A fine chance to carry Wisconsin t1iS year. He told Chairman Mack as much and went over with him t1t uoIftical situation in the state.
 eThere is a wonderful change m public opinion towards Mr. Bryan this wear. said Congressmau Murphy This is particularly noticeable H. cities where Bryan and Kern clubs are being organized. In Milwaukee one aight last week a Democratic club was organized with an enrolment or 7s0 members. This was in q precinct where the total Democratic vote foar years ago was only 90. This shows fhe drift towards Democracy in Wis conssn. and hear like reports rom all the states of the west
 The Democratic Text Book which Mr Bryan declared to be the best campaign document of the kind eve. issued. is making a record for popular fty. Ten thousand copies were ae- Ifvered at headquarters in this city lesa fhan a week ago. This supply was quickly exhausted and the DUO fishers now have an order for an addi- aonal 30.oo0 copies Every sel ,rfngs piles of letters requesting .opies of the Text Book Many appli- ants enclose cheeks for sums larger fhan the price of the book, which IS
