Responding to the above appeal Of
William J. Bryan, the Express today
announces that is it ready to receive
dollar donations for the democratic
campaign fund.
OF course if any one feels disposed
to give more than a dollar, it will be
entirely acceptable. There is nothing
in the election law to prevent one
from giving $500 if he wants to.
Donations viii not be limited to the
city of Chickasha but will be accepted
from all parts Of the earth from
Cape Horn to the great wall of China
and back again Every democrat Of
Grady county is especially invited to
contribute his mite to the fund that is
needed to insure democratic victory.
1t is conceded that the republican,
will have almost unlimited funds a,
their disposal this ysar-the trusts
and milionaires will dig it up. Dem
ocracy must rely for its sinews o
war upon the free viii offerings Of tn,
plain people.
A strict account Of every dollar vii
be kept with the names Of the donors
and all will be forwarded to the proI
er custodians.

Despite the threatening weather

SEND IN DOLLARS
FOR DEMOCRACY

, - +&s
q wish every democratic
. newspaper would commence tie
collection Of a fund from its
. own subscribers. There are very
few democrats who could not af-
ford to make a small subscrip-
ton, and the people will never
be able to control the govern
ment until they take upon them
y selves tue burden Of supplying
campaign funds A long as
few men furnish the money to
" finance a compaign those men
will exert and undue influence
upon --e government.
u seems that we have reach
ed the end of corporate contribu-
tions, and that is a step in adj
vance, but the individuals who
control these favor-seeking cor
porations may still dominate poll
tics by furnishing the sinews of
war. The democratic party has
struck at this system by limit
= ing contributions to $4,000 and
providing for publicity before
election. The Republican party
has so far refused to join with
us on this proposition, but public
y sentiment may yet compel 1t to

democratic party will receive
= contributions from more indiyid-
uals than ever contributed to
any campaign, and there is no
reason why the entire amount
should not be contributed bv the
masses.
"If every democratic paper
will take the matter up and lend
a helping hand we will soon
have money enough in the treas
ury to provide for legitimate
campaign work, and that is all
we want. William ]. Bryan.
