of William Al. Bowen, Richard H.
Trent and James Wakefield to secure
the services of Mr.. Sunday for cam

cies which might arise in the general
campaign expense account.

tions to the sum OF $4,000 have been
solicited and promised.
With regard to the expenses of the
campaign. the following facts were
pointed out today by a member of the
committee:

taken at the various meetings of the
campaign goes toward the general ex-
pense of the campaign; that is, steam
er fares. boarding, erection OF taber-
nacle, etc.
2. Billy Sunday does not receive a
cent Of the money taken in such col
lections
3. The only remuneration that Mr..
Sunday receives for his personal work
is through a special collection general
~ taken at the final meeting of the
campaign.
4. In case 1t is found that the
amount OF collections is going to ex-
eed the amount of general expense,
the collections are stopped. In some
cases collections have been continued
and the money devoted to some charit-
able purpose.

amount. to less than the amount Of
general expense, the deficit is to be
covered by money taken from the
