fishers of Democratic papers through
out the country are as successful as
Mr.. Bobt. Ewing of the New orleans
States in raising funds for the Demo.
cratic national campaign, Chairman
Moses G. Wetmore Of the finance com
mittee 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 1t will final
lly be as much as $4,000.
"Our people are taking a lively in
tcrcst 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 Of going out and raising
money by small subscriptions. That
IS the reason this unprecedented col
| ne ,nf fund for tnn
election Of presidential candidates has
been comparatively easy. Every par
ish in the state is swelling the fund.
lAlready Democrats are regarding the
contribution Of funds for the election
of Bryan and Kern as n patriotic duty.
Fully FIVE hundred registrars aud
Judges OF election I'm Louisiana. who
earn $500 n 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
rhces being made by Democrats IN
this presidential contest"
The Democratic national committee
is not overlooking opportunities in Pa
clic coast states and a very vigorous
can paign Is to be conducted in those
western states. The reports Chair
man Mack has received from Call
fornia, Oregon and Washington art
convincing that Democrats have n iin'
chance to carry all OF those states. Tht
national committee will work In har
mony with the state committees.
