 McAdoO's Telegram ? The telegram of Chairman McAdoo to Chairman Goodwin is as follows:
 New York, N. Y, Oct. r, 1912. Hon. Tyler Goodwin, Chairman State Democratic Committee, Montgomery, [ Ala:
 Referring to my previous telegram
 
 committee has decided to designate Sat urday, November instead of October 31 as Wilson and Marshall Day." and to request democratic organizations in each state of the Union to hold as many meet ings as possible in each state on the afternoon and evening of that day. At these meetings an original and special message from our great leader, Governor Woodrow Wilson, will be read. All ar arrangements within your state are left entirely in the hands of the state com mittee and national committeeman are re- quested to cooperate with the state chair man. Whatever regular meetings you are arranging for the afternoon and night of November should proceed just the same, and Governor Wilson's message can be read at such meetings, but our committee suggests that you have the democrats assemble on the same day in as many other places within your state as possible, even if they come together informally only for the purpose of re- ceving this special message from Gov ernor Wilson, 'Tt will be an inspiring thing to assem- ble or mobilize as far as possible the hosts of democrats on November to hear Governor Wilson's message and to concert measures for bringing out on election day the largest possible demo- cratic vote.
 "The response We have received to this suggestion throughout the country has been most favorable. We believe that Wilson and Marshall Day can be made a great and inspiring feature of this campaign Governor Wilson's message will be sent you in ample time to have you forward it to every meeting which may be arranged in your state Please do all you can to give this the widest publicity and to make Wilson and Mar shall Day great success. While the national committed can do little more than offer suggestions you may be sure of our hearty cooperation.
