Local Subcommittee Expects Funds
Will Come In More Freely
Now

Richmonds second check for $1,000
for the Woodrow Wilson Campaign
Fund will be sent today to the treas
urer Of the National Democratic Com
mittee in New York, and checks for
similar amount will be sent as soon
as the collections total that figure. 1t
Is expected. however, that contribu-
lions will begin coming in to the local
committee in larger amounts from now
on. There was only small amount
collected yesterday.
The general impression at local
headquarters is that the response
eral than II has been since the cam
paign was started There Is a tendency
becoming apparent among the bust
ness men to make collective contribu-
tions. and the prospective activity of
well-known citizens to Join together
in subscribing large sums to the fund
is extremely promising.
Secretary George W. Rogers said
yesterday that the city employees. he
believed. were preparing to respond
In a particularly hearty manner and
he was much encouraged by reports
from these citizens. In all other lines
there Is gratifying interest being
displayed.
Pending response from Congressman
Carter Glass and the national head
quarters regarding the proposed mass
meeting for Richmond, no action wa.
taken yesterday by the local commit
tee in the way of making arrange
ments.
