national headquarters today:

Virginia in 1908 was III AIS for Bryan

Dear Mr.. McAdoo: To bring about
the election Of president through a
campaign financed by popular sub
scriptions, would be distinct and
gratifying triumph. 1t would striking
~ evidence the renewed supremacy OF
the people and would mean the prema-
nent emancipation of our government
from those selfish influences which
have too long been relied upon to furn-
ish the campaign funds in return for
favors 10 be bestowed. | am in hearty
sympathy with every effort that may
contribute to such a result. The idea
back of the proposed Contributors Ma
tional Wilson and Marshall League is
thoroughly commendable and / hope
that you and your associates will push
it and make it an effective instrument
for the attainment of so praiseworthy
an object.
