 last night in regard to the campaign. They point out that s>iuom has a move ment received such wide and unqual- fled inducements has the present one. They call attention to the support of the Rotary club as evidenced by it's sub scription of $500 and the active partici- patton of a majority of it's members; the support of the big business interests of the city. as indicated by the S10OO sub scription of the Tennessee company, and the many assurances of support received from the school improvement associations and womens clubs.
