APPEAL MADE FOR
CAMPAIGN FUNDS
GEORGIA COMMITTEE ISSUES A
CARD TO DEMOCRATS OF
THE STATE.
To the People of Georgia:

81 At5 O. asp llCS Gil opportunity the
surest bet it has known for a score
OF years.
The vibrations of coming success
are thrilling through the ranks and
stirring the faithful into glad and
hearty service.
As victors once more they are COM
ing back into our Fathers house.
perchance, for long, long stay.
Woodrow Wilson, exponent and de-
fender of the rights of the masses,
will be made president of the United
States by the overwhelming suffrage
of those masses-if they will but act
and that promptly.
The party program is sound and
simple. Its dominant note, clearly
struck by its chosen leader. is ito
serve all the purposes of the people. y
This is the sane and wholesome
thought that interpenetrates the en-
tire fabric of the democratic plat
form. 1t contemplates genuine de-
mocracy. 1t provides that the Peo-
pie shall come into its own.
But the people must get to work.
No utterance Of Governor Wilson
more effectually sets him apart as the
exemplar of his own sturdily demo-
cratic theories than what he has said
about the campaign fund
No cringing obligations to Chief Big
Money when the fight is wont No
servile fawning before the doors of
the Interests! No crippled usefulness
nor hampered influence. No faint is
to befoul the streams of supply for
this "sterilized campaign"
The money to defray its costs is to
come straight from the people. 1t is
fitting in the fullest degree that it
should be so.
Here, then, is opportunity for the
most vital kind of service. Here is
the task, the duty, the privilege to
which every democrat should imme-
diately address himself.
Democrats of Georgia, the measure
of your faith in your party will be
the contribution that you make to it's
needs in this supreme hour of its test
ing.
No profession of devotion to democ-
racy will avail, unless weighted with
a material pledge OF its sincerity.
The appeal for funds is to ALL the
people.
There are no classes, no favored
few for whom the privilege of giving
is reserved. The call is to the great
body of the people to come and take
hearty hand in the work.
You are urged to become active,
participating, Notwithstanding partners
in this tremendous business
The other day Governor Wilson was
talking to body of farmers in his
own state. He said to them
There is not a single class of the
nation that ought to demand that it
should be occupying constantly the
center of the stage; but there is also
not a single class in the nation that
ought not to demand constantly that
it be regarded as a member of the
firm in the great partnership"
Demand your personal place in this
work. Measure your gift by your abil-
ity. Show your faith by your works
Put into the cause the heartening W
gor of an early and generous contri-
button.
You are expected to contribute. You
are urged to do it as early as you
can.
This idea of the privilege and the
responsibility of the individual, rather
than cumbersome and costly organi-
zations for the collection of the need
ed funds. is well illustrated in some
thing Governor Wilson said recently:
How many of you have enlisted
for the fight? | believe it's going to
be one of those general recruitments
VI er you won't need to have recruit
ins Officers. ! was talking to a !reE
the other day, who said, We n ST SO
around and form CLUBS. / said. My
dear boy, they ere forming them
selves. They don't have to have pres
idents and secretaries and constitu-
tons, Every group you see on the
street corner is club, and the men
who need to watch the weather are
the men for whom that club is re-
served.
Let us here in Georgia make it one
of those general recruitments" in
which the volunteers shall come thick
anu fast, and in which the privilege
of the service is the compelling cause.
Send your subscription to your local
paper. The names of all contributions
will be published as received.
