Bryan Campaign Fund

The Star Herald's Bryan and

surely growing AMI we hope to see
it reach the 500 mark before the
campaign closes. We urge every
loyal Democrat in Randolph county
who wishes to see Democracy win
out in November to contribute a
lollar to this fund.

Miss Essie Arnold, Peru, .Sl.00
Only one dollar has been added
to the fund this week, but we are
glad to report that it is from a
loyal little Democrat of Cherokee
Bay, Miss Essie Arnold age 70, of
Peru. 1t shows the right kind of
spirit. This little lady wishes to
help the people defeat the "inter.
ests," and when Mr., Bryan is in
ausurated as president on the 4th
of next March we are sure he will
not forget his little friend in Chero-
kee Bay.
