The Campaixn

During the next three months events moved rapidly, and at the end of that period Father Francis was one of the most notable men in England.
 The equalization of Mir. Mallard was the first victory in a war that was destined to shake the whole newspaper world to its foundation. The proprie- tor of the DailyBiograph was a shrewd man, and he resolved to make-the best af job. He even managed to turn his misfortunes to profit. He was the first in the field, and knew the value of elf-advertisement He contributed long article to the number which in- troduced the change in the policy of the paper. It was a very striking be desired, being the work of MT. Pritchard. the editor. who was a man of high literary talents.
 In a column and a half of superb English, Mir. Mallard explained that the time had come when it was necessary journalism. The Press. he explained, was the greatest power in the world. It ought to be used for the good of the community. In future the Daily Biograph would strive to attain a high ideal. to lead mems thoughts to a high CT plane. He was proud to be the pien- err of a movement which was destined to revolutionize the whole Press. At any cost he was resolved to do his duty to himself and his fellow-men, and so on. and so on. till he reached the great appeal to the British public, which formed the peroration of his article.
 The first number of the revised Daily Biograph raised chorus of criticism and ridicule. For few days the de- mand for the peaper rose above the capacity of the printing presses. Then there came a deluge of indignant let ters from "old subscribers" The cir culation began to sway slowly down wards. But Mir. Mallard worked like a hero, and he stopped the fall. The paper simply revelled in every conceiv- able form of virture, presented in the most attractive paragraphs. Mir. Lam pirthy drove round to the offices of the paper and knocked off another two and a half per cent, from the price of paper. Mir. Mallard began to see that virtue was not such an unprihtable thing after all.

 The business interests and corpora tions have always been liberal contrib utors to the party campaign funds The large ones usually give to both sides, the biggest check to the one most lilke- ly to win. During the campaigns of lSse and 1900. however, the Eastern business and corporate Interests were hostile to Mir. Bryan and in the first campaign, his fund came entirely from the West. The next time he ran, the Democrats tried the endless chain system. So confident were the friends of Mir. Bryan after 1896 that he could be named again in 1900 that they started to raise money this way as early as 1897. It was by canvassing country districts for subscriptions of a dollar a month. The sum raised by this method. however, was entirely in- adeduate. The candidacy of Mir. Cleve- land. on the other hand. always at- tracted heavy contributors. When he became the nominee of his party in 1892. the fund at the disposal of the Democrats was very large, much of 1t being raised by William c. whitney. BenJamin Harrison. on the contrary. was not so popular with the moneyed men.

The late Roswell P. Flower. once Congressman and Governor of New York. gathered many campaign funds for the Democrats. William C.. Whit ney and Abraham S. Hewitt did also.
