Chicago. H.. Sept.-Spcc.al-If pub
fishers Of Democratic papers through
out tie country are as successful as
Mr.. Bobt. Ewing OF the New Orleans
states In raising funds for the Demo
cratic national campaign, Chairman
Noes {. Wctmorc OF the finance COM
mlttec will not want for money to meet
legitimate campaign expenses. Mr..
Ewing. who has been here attending
the meeting of the Democratic nation
al committee, has collected a popular
subscription fund Of approximately
5000. This has been accomplished
within the past three or four weeks.
MIR Ewing predicts that the States
fund will grow and that it Will final
ly he as much as $4,000.
'Our people are taking livc,y in
tcr"st in this work Of raising Il pOpu-
lar fund for the election OF Bryan and
Kern" said Mr.. Ewing today They
realize fully the importance Of gcttin.
a sufficiently larG. 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 col
lection OF campaign fund for the
election OF presidential candidates has
been comparatively easy. Every par
ish in the state is swelling the fund.
Already Democrats are regarding the
contribution of funds for the election
of Bryan and Kern as 4 patriotic duty.
Fully five hundred registrars AMI
judges of election In Louisiana. who
earn $500 day for their services one
day in each campaign year, have con-
tributci their earnings to the Demo-
cratic national campaign fund That
shows the extent OF the personal sac
rifices being made by Democrats In
this presidential contest"
The Democratic national committee
Is not overlooking opportunities in Pa
citlc coast states and a very vigorous
campaign Is to be conducted in those
western states. The reports Chair
man Mack has received from Cali
fornia. Oregon and Washington are
convincing that Democrats have fine
chance to carry all OF those states. The
national committee will work in har
mony with the state committees.
Speaking OF political conditions IN
the west. National Committeeman Mil
Ter. OF Oregon. said today: Bryan and
Kern will carry Oregon this year.
though notice in the morning papers
that United States Senator Jonathan
Bourne says that Democrats haven't
n chance in the west The best an
swer I can make to this statement Is
TO cite Senator Bourne az an authority
against himself. Prior to the Repub-
lican national convention. the senator
was proclaiminG from one end Of the
country to the other that the nomina-
tion OF Judge Taft would result in his
defeat in the nation and loss OF Ore
