My. dear Mr.. Campbeli:- the cam
paign draws near its close am taking
this opportunity to express my sincere
appreciation Of the earnest support and
co operation you and the Democratic
press in general have given this bureau
III the collection of the popular cam
patgn fund-a movement which will res
suit in the election, for the first time
in twenty years, of President free to
serve the people and not financed by
the interests.
The success of the campaign is due
largely to the splendid work done by
the. Democratic Press. This fact is
recognized by all Of the members OF
the National Committee.
Some twelve hundred newspapers
helped in establishing the popular con-
tributions fund. In some cases the
amounts collected BY Individual papers
were small. but the publicity given was
of inestimable value in driving home
the doctrines Of Democracy. The news
papers performed their work without
thought or hope of financial remune-

True As Gospel.

George Mcintosh. of the Fay
cite Journal, diagnoses the result
Of the Prohibition Amendment
submission as follows:
"The people of West Virginia have
declared by an unprecedent majority in
favor of the ratification of the prohi-
bltion amendment.
1t is due to be said that so great q
victory could not have been accom-
plished by the temperance folks had
not the whiskey dealers of the state
rendered themselves and their business
SO obnoxious in their impudent en-
rroachment upon the politics and BUSH
ness of the state
Their offensive behavior in counties
like Fayette. Kanawha and Mcdowell
has been brought to the attention Of all
the people of the state and kindled q
resentment, the effect of which has
been to sweep the whlskey business
from the state by an-almost unanimous
| 2
vote. /"
He might have included the
Counties of the Eastern Pan
handle IN his arraignment.
No section of the State has
been more cursed by the insolent
att empted domination of the
Berkeley County Whiskey Ring
and its heelers in that and the
adjoining counties.
Thousands of men who don't
think they are on the road to
perdition when they take drink,
voted for the amendment this
month 10 kick the liquor people
out of politics for good.
From now on voters can proceed
to the settlement of questions OF
the County, Of the State and of
the National Government, with.
out having to contend with this
most debasing of all special
interests.
