MIR. BObt Ewing OF the New Orleans
States In raising funds for the Demo
cratic national campaign, Chairman
Moses G. Wetmore OF the finance com
mlttee 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
$1,000. This has been accomplished
within the past three or four weeks.
Mr.. Ewing predicts that the States
fund will grow and that II will Anal.
ly be as much as $4,000.
"Our people are taking a lively in
tercst In this work OF raising popu-
lar fund for the election of Bryan and
Kern" said Mr.. Ewing today. "They
realize fully the importance Of getting
sufficiently large 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 ~ going out and raising
money by small subscriptions. That
IL the reason this unprecedented col
lection OF campaign fund for the
election of presidential candidates has
been comparatively easy. Every par
lsh In the state Is swelling the fund.
Already Democrats are regarding the
contribution Of funds for the election
Of Bryan and Kern as patriotic duty.
Fully five hundred registrars and
judges OF election in Louisiana, who
earn $500 day for their services one
day In each campaign year. have con-
tributed 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"

convincing that Democrats have a fine
chance to carry all of those states. The

Ter. OF Oregon, said today; bryan and
Kern will carry Oregon this year,
though notice in the morning papers
that United States senator Jonathan
Rourne says that Democrats haven't
chance In the west. The best an
swer ! can make to this statement 10
TO cite Senator Bourne as an authority
against himself. Prior to the Repub-
llcan national convention. the senator
was proclalming from one end OF the
country TO the other that the nOmlna,
tion Of Judge Taft would result In his
defeat IN the nation and loss Of Ora
gon 10 the Republican party. Mr..
Rourne was for the denomination OF
President Roosevelt but think at the.
time he correctly diagnosed the situa-
ton In Oregon. when he declared that
Taft could not carry the state against
Bryan
Conditions are highly favorable to
the Democracy In Pacific coast states"

There Is a wonderful change IN
public opinion towards Mr.. Bryan this
year." said Congressman Murphy.
This Is particularly noticeable in
cities where Bryan and Kern clubs are
being orgaulxed In Milwaukee one
night last week. Democratic club
was started with an enrolment OF $50
members, This was IN precinct
where the total Democratic vote four
years ago was only 30. This shows
the drift towards Democracy In Wis.
