On Tuesday the State Senatorial
Committee met and declared Senator
Thornton the nominee of the Demo-
cratic party, stating that Mr.. Thorn
ton is THE ONLY CANDIDATE

that the Chairman of the Senatorial
Committee, and the Chairman OF the
County Committees OF Fairfax anu
Alexandria (no one could give me
the address OF the Prince William
Chairman) were sent letter on the
Srd OF August which contained the
following:-

charge, at times holding the nozzle of a

also directed the removal OF the five
big imported automobiles from the gar
age adjoining the power house and
she had the gasoline tanks emptied in

to the report that the newly organized

was formed to boost the presidential
candidacy of Governor Woodrow Will

who presided at toiay's meeting, said
the organization would not enlist in the
cause of any candidate for president.
Ovens said he had been wrongly quoted
as favoring Governor Wilson, when in

Of principles, among which was the
provision that anyone who contributed

Another thousand was heaped on the
Earlham fund today and the total was
changed from $25,O26 to s26,3Os. In
exact figures the increase was s1,2s2
There were twenty-four contributors
and the average contribution was $5s.
A Plainfield friend contributed $500
and Carthage came to the front with a
pledge of $3.50 from one man.
With Memorial Day out of the wav,
the canvassers have settled down to
the hardest kind of work for this week
and next There is a total of nearly
$24, 900 to be raised in exactly three
weeks. 1t was this understanding and
realization that Chairman Pearson de-
cided to keep his canvassers at work
in the first ten districts until every
man and woman had been seen who
might be induced to help Earlham.
The new territory into which canvass
ers were sent the first of this week is
not, on the whole regarded as favor.
ably as the first ten districts. A great
deal of the new territory lies outside
the state lines in Ohio and Illinois.
The people in these communities are
farther from Earlham and may not
be as easily impressed with it's needs
Therefore Chairman Pearson and his
assistants are relying more and more
on the Indiana counties that have al
ready been visited, and upon the coun
ty of Wayne and the city of Richmond
which are yet to be the center of a
canvass.
