under way. Indeed, the molly coilec-
tons that have been made thus far
have been In the nature of voluntary
contributions wfsfeh have reached
here through the mails. The fund at
present amounts To a bare $4,000,
whereas several hundred thousands
will be needed.
Though It has been definitely an
uouneed on two or three occasions
that William G. McAdoo and Senator
Gore. OF Oklahoma, had both been
favored for tne position OF vice chair
man Of the campaign fund. the Of
fcials selections have not been made.
No step apparently has been made
