Democrats
To GET BUSY
Mass Meeting to Be Held at the
Court House in Hattiesburg
On Tuesday Night.

in an effort to raise funds for the
Bryan and Kern campaign fund.
Hon. R. S. Hall, member of the Ma
tional Finance Committee for Forrest
County, has called a mass meeting at
the county court house in Hattiesburg
Tuesday evening at o'clock. when
speeches will be made by Mayor ]. D
Donald, N. T. Currie, j. R. Talley, E.
A. Anderson, ]. E. Davis and D. NJ.
Watkins. Every Democrat in the
county is urged to be present.
Mr.. Hall has issued the following
address:
To the Democrats of Forrest County:
I have just been appointed State
Member of the Democratic National
Finance Committee for this county for
the purpose of securing contributions
for the Democratic campaign. regret
to note that the people of our county
have been slow in contributing to the
campaign fund. think it is rather
caused by neglect. l do hope that the
Democrats of Forrest County will con-
tribute at once, and let your contribu-
tions go forward.
1t seems now, that victory is as
sured the Democratic party at the No
vember election, if our good fight
made by our great leader, Mr. Bryan,
is continued on until the election. He
has the trust-ridden and plutogratic
Republican party scared and fighting
as it has never been scared and fight
ing before. Our people should con-
tribute willingly to carry on the fight
This is about all we in Mississippi can
do at the present time, and I hope
that Forrest County will lead in the
matter of campaign funds this Year.
The National Democratic Finance
Committee is now urging contribu-
tions. and in fact, money is needed.
The Republican party seems now
the most concerned, and every effort is
being made by it to secure campaign
funds and money is flowing into it's
finance committee. Always about this
period of the campaigns heretofore,
the Republicans make the greatest
contributions in order to carry the
November election. To meet this, it is
necessary that the Democrats through
out the country make what contribu-
tions they can. The Democratic party
expects money only from the honest
masses, none from the trusts and COM
bines, and therefore urge that you do
what you can in the way of contribu-
lions so that the money may go for
ward and be used at once. | shall not I
be able to make a personal appeal to
the Democrats of this county except |
in the method here used. For the pur-
pose of conveniently collecting the
money that the people of Forrest
County may care to contribute, have
appointed in each precinct of this
county the following named persons
to receive and transmit your contri.
buttons, as well as to solicit the same
