christianity and civilization have

Hearst's reply to Gompers scoring
the labor leaders suggestion that
he support "discredited, de-

the subject of heated discussion at

In reply to messages from Com

be abandoned and that Hearst
unite forces with the democrats.
Hearst said that while he is not
authorized to speak for the party
he, personally, is opposed to such
a step. In closing, Hearst said:

APPEALS
FOR MONEY

An and Kern today made public an
appeal for campaign contributions
which, in part, says:
THE first contribution to the

made by an Iowa farmer. Just be-
fore the convention this man. who
prefers that his name be not made
public. came to Lincoln with a con-
tribution of 800, which he gave
Bryan. This was appropriate, the
first contribution coming from the
great body OF the population
known as agriculturists. for the
farmer has nothing to gain by
privilege or favoritism.
Now that the party has an
nounced Its intention to not accept
contributions from corporations:
not to accept excessive individual
contributions. and to publish con-
tributions above reasonable mini
mum. 1t ought TO be able to secure
sufficient funds from those pa

eminent nothing but protection. AS
