ey to Run National Campaign on
Legitimate Lines.
The Democratic national commit
tee, through Henry Morgenthau,
chairman of the finance committee,
as issued an appeal to the supporters
Of the party to aid In raising an addi-
:ional fund Of from s750,000 to
100000, to be used in the campaign
.cr the national ticket from now un-
I'll election day. Accompanying this
appeal was list Of many OF the re-
cent contributors and statistics show
ing how much each of the States had
contributed. approximately $780,
600 has been contributed up to date.
and OF this amount s206,0S6 has
been disbursed for the legitimate e1-
penses OF the campaign. leaving about
$4,000 now in the treasury.
New York state heads the list OF
contributors with a total OF $685.
:S5; Pennsylvania is second with
s1s,516, and Illinois third, with $15,-
453.
In speaking Of the need Of more
money to carry on the campaign, Mr..
Eorgenthau dictated this statement:
lit is absolutely essential that all
the states complete the organization
OF their finance committee
needs are imperative-asw We require
for necessary legitimate expenses an
additional s750,000, and it must
ONE from the people, so as to con-
tinue to the end the popular sub
scription plan which We have adopt
ed"
To this statement, Mr.. Morgenthau
added that, although he considered
he sums already voluntarily sub
cribed as most encouraging, the COM
mittee believes that an erroneous I'M
preston has gone cut 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
,ut the expenses are necessarily
heavy, and will be much greater
rom now on, for it is the intention Of
he national committee TO. keep up q
most determined campaign and take
| ,othing for granted. To all OF the
States had been allotted the task OF
az fixed sum. None Of them
mas yet reached the mark set. Ov-
er-confidelce on the part OF the Dem
ocrats was possibly hurting the COM
.s,ittee in financial way, 1t was said,
out, nevertheless a pretty steady flow
81 money was expected from now on,
and the committee believed that the
:.eople would meet the requirements.
The 100000 from New York state
was practically unsolicited, said Nj.
Morgen,hau, and was an excellent
example of what could be accomplish
ID.
The total Of subscriptions as enter
Cd on the books at national head
quarters was s29s,75e, and this came
from 1916 men and women. The
largest single contribution since the
recent list was published was By Su-
creme Court Justice James ". Ger
ard, who gave $4,000. Samuel Un-
.ermyer, the attorney, gave $4,000,
and there are several $4,000 sub
