ABOUT A MILLION NEEDED

Chicago, August 13.-The democratic national campaign fund of 1908 will be l raised through appeals made to the in- dividual states for contributions. Each state. under the direction of it's national committeeman or financial representa- tive designated for the purpose, will de- termine it's own method for raising money. The general plan became known today on arrival here of Chairman Mack of the national committee from Lin- coln, Neb. and the plan is understood to have the entire approval of W J. Bryan. J. W. Kern. vice presidential candidate on the democratic ticket, and members of the campaign text book committee accompanied MT. Mack to this city. MT. Kern will leave later in the day for his home in Indianapolis
 The financial committee, of which Col. Moses c. Wetmore of St. Louis Is chairman, generally agree that between $500 900 and s1,000 900 will be required to finance the legitimate expenses of the coming presidential struggle. The devising of adequate methods to pro- vide these means has occasioned Gov ernor Haskell of Oklahoma treasurer of the national committee, and Colonel Wetmore no little concern, and the adoption of the plan announced to raise funds by states is believed to be a so- lution of the problem. State pride. the financial committee believes, will be de- Yeloped. and as a result efforts will be made for contributions as large al pos sible. The financial committee how ever will arrange to enlist the mone- cated that they are ready to contribute in a substantial degree. The contribu- tion to various financial representa- tives in the states will be made up of small donations.
 The chairman however. communicated with the national committeeman in the several states, and instructed them to proceed immediately with the collection of funds and add to this and have sug- gested that a financial representative be appointed in each state with assistants in the county, who will devise such ways and means as may be deemed best to ob- tain funds in their own particular states The national committee stated today that Thomas H. Caredford of Salisbury, N. C., has been appointed financial repre- sentative in his state.
 While no public solicitations have as yet been made by the national commit tee, contributions from various sources in no small amounts are being received daily at the Chicago headquarters. Chair man Mack took up the work or organiz- ing the speakers bureau here today.
 National Committeeman John w. Tom linson, chairman of the committee on club organization, has completed the organiza- tion work of his department here and will leave for Cincinnati tomorrow to confer with the political leaders of Ohio. After the Cincinnati meeting, MT Tomlnson will proceed to New York to confer with Chairman Mack and others on the general situation in the east. Speaking or his work, Mr Tomlinson said:
 With the precinct as the basis or or ganization, we are endeavoring to estab- fish Bryan and Kern clubs in every com munity throughout the nation. The ma- chinery for this work has been started in a most satisfactory way in the West and middle west"
 John H. Atwood, chairman of the speak CTS bureau, arrived here from his home in Kansas today to take up his work
