He enclosed a check for $500.
A large number of democrats not
only evince interest in the present
situation, but urge the national COM
mittee to continue its work without
let-up. 1t has received scores of
suggestions like the following from
a prominent democrat of Ohio:
Permit me to suggest that
while you are at il you ought to
collect enough TO continue this
committee for four years so that
they can have headquarters and
sufficient clerks TO collect infor-
nation and lists and send out
documents such as will benefit
in the next congressional and
state campaigns and in the next
presidential campaign. The
great trouble with the demo-
cratic party is that we always
lie down as soon as the cleo
ton is over and wait until the
next campaign before we begin
to organize"
At a meeting attended by the
members of the campaign commit
tee and by several members of the
national committee. held in Wash
ington 10 days ago, it was decided
that the work so successfully begun
in the recent campaign should be
continued during the next four
years and that permanent head
quarters of the democratic national
committee would be maintained at
Washington.

Replies TO the committees appeals
made directly to campaign and party
organizations have been very en-
couraging. A number of county
committees offered their aid and sent
contributions before being actually
solicited Wilson and Marshall
clubs have continued their activity
and are assisting the national COM
mittee Usually such clubs suspend
work Immediately after the election.
The regular finance committee ap-
pointed early in the campaign have
continued their organizations also
they did before the election.
Aside from the responses 70 the
committees direct appeals there have
been many voluntary contributions
and offers of contributions and other
help from individuals. One man, So
years old. who lives in a small mid
die western city, believed so firmly
that the democrats would win that
he bet several hundred dollars on
the result Soon after the election

The old days of morning
With the dew drench on the

And apple buds and blossoms
OF those old days of ours.
Then was the real gold
Spendthrift summer flung;
Then was the real song
Thrush and robin sung!
There was never censure then
Only honest praise
And all things were worthy Of it
In the old days.
There bide the true friends
The first and the best;
There clings the green grass
Close where they rest
Would they were here? No
Would we were there;
The old days, the lost days.
How lovely they were.
