THE DOLLAR CAMPAIGN.

One hundred loyal Democrats have each given their dollar to the Graph ic's National Democratic Campaign fund and are proudly wearing the Win With Wilson" buttons. The Graphic has another hundred Wilson buttons that it hopes to distribute before another week passes and in doing so, it feels that it is aiding a popular movement and cause that will not fail in this, the brightest year for Democracy in American po- litical history.
 Still the Democrats of this county are slow in aiding the campaign fund. The National Democratic Campaign Committee is not asking aid from the mmamoth corporations in the East and North, but is relying entirely up- on the popular dollar subscription to that without doubt means the suc- cess of the Democratic ticket this year. Governor Woodrow Wilson, Presi- dential nominee on the Democratic ticket, recently gave out a statement in which he approved the dollar sub- scription plan, adopted by the Ma tional Committee, and added that he would not feel that he was obligated to the interests, but to "all of the peo- ple' in the event of his election.
 The Graphic has been doing all it can to put Jefferson county to the front in the campaign fund that is be- ing raised in Arkansas. It will con- tinue to do so. The dollar subscrip- tions still come in, but slowly, and it calls on the Democrats who have not subscribed to come forward and do so. It is fight for principles and good government that the Democrats are making this year and they are bound to win. But the expenses of the campaign must be taken care of and it is up to the individual Demo- crats of this country to do their part All the National Committee asks for is a dollar from each Democrat. Will you put your name on the honor roll?
