The Dollar Fund

The need OF popular subscription
to tho Wilson and Marshall campaign
fund is not merely tho need of money.
1t Is the need of the right kind Of
money.
Wilson and Marshall have turned
down efrers OF more than the amount
Of money sufficient to conduct the
campaign. They have refused to take
money except by popular subscrip-
ton and 1t Is ell the moro necessary
that they receive money from the
people
It does not appear that the other
candidates are In need Of money by
popular subscription. They seem to
DO ablo to accept money from other
sources
Wilson and Marshall admit an
obligation only to the people. They
Intend to serve the people and to owe
their election solely to the people. In
order to make tho obligation stronger
than merely that Of duty. the people
ought to contribute.
The plan for a dollar subscription
is good one and one which should
appeal to all who hope for reform
1t Is idle to complain that man &C.
cepts money from special interest,
when It Is evident that special inter.
ests are tho only ones from whicl
money can be had. II is unjust &c
expect q candidate to furnish infor.
nation for the people and a solution
for their problems At his own e1pens.

TO THE DOLLAR
CAMPAIGN FUND

In common with the demo-
cratic plan throughout the
country q movement has been
begun In Nevada for n popular
subscription to the democratic
national campaign fund in the
interest OF tho candidates,
Governor Wilson for president
and Governor Thomas IL.
Marshall for vice president.
The Journal will be glad to
receive and to give credit
regularly for all subscriptions
of this kind Snnd to forward
them to the committee
through the banks as planned.
The popular subscription Is
based on the idea that II
every democrat gives but q
dollar several times the
amount necessary will be
raised, for there arc between
six and seven million demo-
Gratis In tho country. Every
democrat Is asked TO give n
dollar and Il Is expected that
II only n fair proportion re-
spends, q largo sum viii be
v raised sufficient 20 properly

whom 1t In known that the good re-
suits will benefit all.
A dollar from each democrat will
make a campaign fund Of $4,000, 900
or 100000. A dollar from one
sixth Of the democrats will make
fund of over 100000. A million
dollars spent by the people and for
the people will do much better work
than 100000 spent by the trusts
for the trusts.-Nevada State Journal.

people for election but upon

number whose interests are
not identical with those Of the
people.
The reasons for a popular
subscription to the national
campaign fund applies also to
the state campaign fund, and
unless we are instructed to the
contrary by tho contributors,
we will divide the contribu-
tions equally between the ma
tIonal and the state campaign
funds.
The one dollar contribution
will not preclude those who
wish to subscribe more, and
wc will gladly acknowledge
the same.
It Is desired that every
democratic paper In Nevada,

western Oregon open a Hopu-
lar dollar subscription fund
similar to the one that APP
pears in this column.

commission which could DO charged

from satisfactory; and a change to
an Independent commission which
regardless Of political influence or
executive suggestion would insure the
steady and continuous enforcement of

j. w. BOLT WON PRIZE.

For Naming the LeguminOus Glover
Samples Brought In by j. w. d..
Watts.
Mr. j. Warren Bolt won the quarter
of mutton offered by Mr.. John ID. w.
Watts for the person who correctly
named the largest number of samples
of leguminous clover which he brought
to the city Thursday. MIR. Bolt
named nine out of the ten samples.
Mr.. j. w. Todd and Col II. y. Simp-
son came as close seconds to Mr..
Bolt and Mr.. Watts has decided to di-
vide another quarter between them.
AS was stated in The Advertiser last
week, Mr. Watts made this offer to
attract some interest towards the
growth of these crops.
In speaking Of the result of the
offer, Mr.. Watts stated that it clear
ly demonstrated to him the fact that
no man in the town, under forty five
years of age knew three out of the
ten kinds shown, and that interest
in agriculture for the past few years
had been centcred too much in the
raising of cotton.
Mr.. Watts is very much interested
in the growing of tie leguminous
crops as an acid in the upbuilding of
the land. Although it has been found
that the lands in this section have to
be first inoculatcd by planting of the
clovcrs themselves, Mr. Watts finds
that the more of it that is planted the
better the condition that the lands
get in. They aid great deal in
building up the lands which have been
run down by the drain of many years

Boost During the Inspection.
The annual inspection of the Trayn-
ham Guards took place in the armory
and on the public square Friday af-
ternoon, Adj. Gen. w. w. Moore in
specting for the state and Capt w.
H. McMaster, U. S. A. inspecting for
the national government. Both Of
ficers seemed we'll pleased with the
showing made by the company. A
larg number Of both ladies and gen
tlemen were present to see the in
spction and looked on with great
deal of interst. Following the inspec-
tion, the two officers were guests at
an informal but very pleasant lunch
con in the officers room at the arm
ory.
Before drill and arms inspection. the
armory and equipment were thorough
ly gone over by the two officers. At
ter this was finished the boys" were
made to go through different maneuv-
ers on the public square Gen. Moore
and Capt. McMaster both took occa-
sion to speak few words to the com
pany, highly comDlementing the work
of Capt. Richey and the company as
q whole. Capt McMaster stated that
the company's property was better ar
ranged for easy checking than any
other company yet inspected The
gun cleaning apparatus was the best he
had seen and he requested Capt.
Richey to have photograph made of
1t and sent to him to be shown to
other officers, the apparatus being
something of Capt. Richey's own maxi
ing. He also stated that this com
pany was the only one in the state
that had regulation marching shoes,
the only company in the state whose
individual members are examined by
physician OF the medical CORDS or
any reputable physician, the personel
OF the company showing the advan-
tage Of such examinations. Capt.
McMaster gave Capt. Richey the credit
for being the only commanding Of
ficer in the state who had followed out
the instructions in 4 previous order to
procure chart showing the cross
sections of rifle. This chart hangs
in beautiful frame in the armory
Capt. McMaster was so well pleased
with the company's property and the
roll book as to have Capt Richey tear
out a sheet to be shown to other Of
ficers in the state
The rifles of the company were
found in excellent condition.

showed preference for Woodrow

gates the most striking feature was
the action OF man. clubs in instruct
ing the delegates for Wilson at :he
county conventions. At many meet
ings the candidacy of Jones for gov
ernor was indorsed while the EXPIRES
sion is noted at other meetings " the
selection of delegates known to favor
Judge Jones' candidacy.
Instruction for Wilson was much in

Returns in Spartanburg indicate

In the city of Spartanburg strong

Possibly the most exciting meeting
was at Georgetown, where Jones and
Wilson received Endorsement, this
being followed by the withdrawal OF
Blease supporters from the meeting to
set up an opposition meeting and
choose other delegates. Other George
town precincts also indorsed Wilson
and Jones.

Hon. n. b. Dial last Tuesday nieht
made his first public appearance
as candidate for the Office of
united States Senator, when he
address a large number of his
home folks in the court house here.
Although Mr.. Dial has been unusual
ly successful in everything which he
has undertaken since carly manhood

his hearers with a peculiar grip. Last
night, his audience was composed of
town-folks, farmers and visiting at
orncys, in attendance upon court, and
their attention was held throughout.
MI Dial was introduced by Mr.. O.
+. Goodwin, a farmer of this county.
In beginning he stated that he would
be 30 years of age today, that he had
spent his best years in up-building
his native county and state, incident
ally Keeping the wolf from his own

of capital and influence, to exploit the
resources of the south and bring more
capital to develop It, While clmging

principles as to the tariff, the trusts
and the preservation OF natural re-
sources, Mr.. Dial intends making his
campaign principally upon such cur
rency reform as will ensure proper
distribution of capital to the southern
states. He does not pretend at this
time to outline specifically any
definite plan to do this. but expects
his reputation as a business man and
banker to stand sponsor for him

les and conditions in Washington so
that he can set about pushing these
reforms. Mr.. Dial believes, he said.
