and an example OF patriotism and
craftsmanship. The Chairman Of the

is also marked non-partisan charac-
ter. The plans Of the Maryland
Committee are to reach every
admirer Of Cleveland in the
State. Besides substantial subscrip-
tons which have been promised by
many leading men throughout the
State it is the purpose to have pop
ular subscription by accepting con-
tributions OF any size down to fifty
cents. In adopting this plan the
committee wants to provide for the
freest and broadcast possible partici-
patton Of this work by Cleveland's
admirers throughout the entire State.
Already a number of such small con-
tributions have been received.
