To All Democrats:

The undersigned were appointed by
the National Democratic Committee
as Auxiliary Finance Committee, for
the City of Alexandria, and have re.
ceived an urgent request that We call
upon all Democrats to help the cause
Alexandria Democrats have thus
far done nothing.
We, therefore, call upon every
democrat in Alexandria and sur
rounding country to send us such
contribution as he or she can, wheth-
er large or small.
Send something, if only few
cents, and show your interest. We
will thankfully receive any aid
whether $500 or 10 cents.
Remember that this is big coun-
trv and that there are many close
and doubtful states; and the Nation
al Committee must have large means
to carry on a successful fight.
The Republicans have large inter
ests that contribute to their over
flowing treasury.
The Democrats must depend upon
voluntary offerings, and mainly upon
q great number Of small ones, to
make up their necessitous treasury.
Send your contribution to any men,
Der of the Committee, and, whether
it be large or small please send at
once.
It is greatly needed.
This is a call to women as well as
men. Respectfully,
J. X. M. Norton,
