FtorIo7 ana Campaign FunoS.
Florida seems to be somewhat back
ward in contributing money to the
Bryan campaign fund. We never like
to see FloTidians backward in any
good undertaking, and now that Bryan
and Kern clubs are being rganiZed all
over the State the fund should he aug
mented considerably. Were Bryan to
be elPCted-and the chances for such
thing are very gOod-there would be
a mighty rush for positions. and no
doubt the most liberal contributor to
the election of Bryan would feel as
if he had a prior claim over the small
contributor or the one who had not
contributed at all.
A republican tells the Metropolis
that contributions cut more of a figure
in their party when II comes to be-
slowing officials positions You would
be surprised to know how much some
Federal officers in Florida put into
the fund, said the republican gentle
man. While'democTats have no cause
to follow the example of republicans,
yet if the dollar fund is to amount
to anything contributions should be
sought, and the democratic organiza-
tons should see TO II that a respect
able amount is sent to headquarters.
