Accept Responsibility.
The men appointed by the Young
Mems Business club and those repre-
senting the Commercial club are ac-
cepting with the Earlham campaign
committed. the responsibility for the
success OF the canvass In Richmond.
They feel that there Is no doubt that
Richmond and Wayne county will sub
scribe the needed $4,000 which has
been apportioned here, but they are
looking at IL as a matter that should
be attended to with dispatch. Their
attitude Is that since this part of the
$4,000 fund will be subscribed here
without doubt, 1t should be subscribed
quickly and without delay.
The report from Marion county.
that another $1,000 would be added
to the Earlham fund from Indianapolis
has further added to the desire to
have Richmond's fund pledged prompt
~. Marion county had already sub
scribed $4,000. This other $1,000 when
the cards are received at headquarters
will bring Marion county's total close
to $4,000. , II,
Il Would Look Odd.
Unless the people of Indianapolis
and Marion county are headed off"
said Chairman Pearson, they may ex-
coed the amount set apart for Rich
mond and Wayne county. We want
indianapolis to give all that it feels
II should, but we do not want the peo-
pie Of Marion county to give more to
Earlham than Wayne county where
the institution has its home. 1t GER
tainly would look odd to the rest of
the state"
