our own state against Republicans. We
must help Democracy's campaign in
states that have heretofore been Re-
publican but are now ready to capitu-
late to us.
EACH CAN GIVE SOMETHING.
"Our best way of lending this. aid is
through campaign contributions. Each

mis- campaign expenses. He has no
money He can command none. He can
expect nothing from the plutocrats or
the interests. His campaign must be
financed by the Democratic people. and

do our share or realize that we have
shirked a pleasant duty.
