MORE MONEY FOR WILSON AND
MARSHALL-MORE NEEDED


Henry Morgenthau, chairman of the
finance committee, has issued an apt
peal to the supporters of the party
to aid ii raising an additional fund
OF from $750,0O0 to 5000, OO0, to be
used in the campaign for the National
ticket from now until Election Day.
Accompanying this appeal was a list
o. many of the recent contributors
andtistics showing how much each
of the state had contributed. Approx
imately 5000, 900 has been contrib
uted up TO date, and of this amount
$1,000 s has been disbursed for the
legitimate expenses of the campaign.
leaving about $4,000 now in the
treasury.
New York State heads the list Of
contributors with a total of $105,3S5
Pennsylvania is second, with $19,516
and Illinois third, with $15,453.
In speaking Of the need Of more
money to carry on the campaign, Mr..
Morgenthau dictated this statement:
1T is absolutely essential that all
the States complete the organization
of their Finance Qommittees-our
needs are imperative-as we require
for necessary legitimate expenses IN
additional $4,000, and it must
come from the people, so as TO ON
tinue to the end the popular sub
scription plan which we have adopt
ed"
To this statement Mr.. Morgenthau
added that, although he considered
the sums already voluntarily sub
scribed as most encouraging, the COM
mittee believes that an i'm
preston has gone out that, as the
election of Gov. Wilson seemed to be
assured money was not urgently
needed. No matter how sure we are
of winning, Mr.. Morgenthau pointed
out, the expenses are necessarily
heavy, and will be much greater from
now on, for it is the intention of the
National Committee to keep up a most
determined campaign and take moth
ing for granted. To all of the States
had been allotted the task of provid-
ing a fixed sum-. None Of them has
yet reached the mark set. Over-confi-
dence on the part of the Democrats
was possibly hurting the committee in
a financial way 1t was said, but, new
ertheless a pretty steady flow of
money was expected from now on, and
the committee believed that the neo-
pie would meet the RECRUITMENT. The
%s1O5,000 from New York State was
practically unsolicited said Mr.. Nor
Penthau and was an excellent evan
pie of what could. be accomplished.
The total Of subscriptions as enter
ed on the books at National head
quarters was s298, $50, and this cam
from 17,116 men and women. The
largest single contribution since the
recent list was published was by
Supreme Court Justice James W. Ger

termyer, the attorney, gave $4,000
