A CALL FOR VOLUNTEERS.

n LALL EOh NOLONA LINZ
Under this caption. the Montgomery
County Sentinel, in its leading Edi-
torlal of this week, will say:
I'm seeking contributions for the
Democratic Campaign. Senator Blair
Lee, as Treasurer of the Auxiliary
Committee, uses certain striking ex-
pressions, we'll worthy of calm consid-
GRAFTON and reflection.
In his circular letter. after stating
that the collection of the necessary
funds for the legitimate conduct of the
campaign 'in manner independent of
the special interests is essential "a
the true and strong conduct of public
affairs, and is consistent with the pres
ent position and tendency of the Demo
critic party" Senator Lee says:
ITO successfully conduct
campaign based upon the contribu-
tions and political opinions Of the
men who make up our partySwill.in
itself. be almost as important as
the election to which the party
looks forward so hopefully. "
And to this he adds:
The separation of the American
colonies from England was some
thing of a wrench, but 1t founded
the greatest of modern nations.
The separation Of American poll
tics from those secret Powers
who tax the people with greater
severity than ever England did,
will assure the future peace and
prosperity of our country.
This comparison is not overdrawn
One who takes advantage of poverty
TO extort usurious interest is called {
money" shark and is ostracised but
the suffering is confined to those who
90 into such transactions with their
eyes open and are not free from blame,
But the sordid capitalists or trusts. Sc
curing the power to multiply the bur
dens of all the people. take advantage
of the necessities of those who conduct
political campaigns to secretly. but
effectively, control the agents of the
people.
The war for independence against
Great Britain involved concert of ac'
ton and real sacrifices of money and
of blood.
The war for independece of the spe-
cial interests only requires an intelli-
gent conception of the true conditions,
concert of action and the sacrifice of a
comparatively small contribution of
money from each patriotic citizen.
The advertisement for campaign dis
fribution reads in part:
Governor Wilson is the people,
candidate. and the people should pay
the expenses of his campaign. The
interests would not do it--Wilson is not
their candidate they will not be
permitted to do it.. !"
This appeal is both patriotic and
logical and should meet with prompt
and generous response from the masses
of the people of the entire State.
Woulu that everyone who reads this
might not delay. but promptly send
forward to Blair Lee. Treasurer, Royal
Arcanum Building, Baltimore. Mary
land. your subscription 20 the Demo
cratic campaign. If you wish the con-
tribution to be applied in any particu-
lar way, state your wish and it will be
carried out or the money returned ac-
cording TO the assurance contained in
the request for patriotic cooperation
in this great cause.
What would life be without stock

All the MILDLY widows have put off

That man addicted to morphia who

ally, disrobed and ran into lace shop

style of the peek-a-boo shirt waists
now in vogue.
