THE DEMOCRATS
NEED MORE MONEY
MORE MONEY FOR WILSON AND
MARsHALL-MoRE NEEDED.

Morgenthau, chairman Of the finance
committee. has issued an appeal to
the supporters of the party to aid in
raising an additional fund OF from
$4,000 to 100000, to be used in the
campaign for the national ticket from
now until election Jay. Accompany
ing this appeal was list of many OF
the recent contributors and statistics
showing how much each of the states
had contributed Approximately $780,
600 has been contributed up to date,
and of this amount s206,OS6 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 total of S1O5,SSS;
Pennsylvania is second, with S19,516,
and Illinois third, with $15,453.
In speaking OF the need of more
money to carry on the campaign, Mr..
Morgenthau dictated this statement;
ut is absolutely essential that all
the states complete the organization
of their finance committees-our needs
are imperatiye-as we require for nee
essary legitimate expenses an addi-
tional $500 and it must come from
the people, so as to continue to the
end the popular subscription plan
which we have adopted"
To this statement Mr.. Morgenthau
added that, although he considered
the sums already voluntarily subscrib-
ed as most encouraging, the commit
tee believes that an erroneous i'm
preston has gone out that, as the
election of Governor Wilson seemed
to be assured, money was not urgent
ly needed. No matter how sure we
are of winning, Mr. Morgenthau point
ed 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. Oyer-con-
fidence on the part OF the democrats
was possibly hurting the committee in
a financial way, it was said, but, never
theless a pretty steady flow of money
was expected from now on, and the
committee believed that the people
would meet the requirement. The
SO5.O00 from New York state was prac.
tically unsolicited. said Mr.. Morgen-
thau. and was an excellent example Of
what could be accomplished.
The total of subscriptions as en-
tered nthe books at national head
quarters was $29s,75O. and this came
from 1916 men and women. The
largest single contribution since the
recent list was published was by SUI
preme Court Justice James w. Gerard,
who gave $4,000 Samuel Untermyer,
the attorney, gave $4,000 and there
are several $4,000 subscriptions.
