The log cabin Democrat., 1916-10-11
Wilson Campaign Fund.

A flying start was made today on the final $100 which the Log Cabin Democrat is endeavoring to raise for the Democratic national campaign fund. As a result of the appeal ap- bearing in Tuesdays daily edition of this paper, $16.50 was received to- day
 A contribution of $3 by D. o. liar ton and of $1 by each of his seven sons constituted the greater portion of today's receipts. Two good Dem ocrats who modestly requested that their names be withheld each contri- buted $2, and there were two other contributions of $1 each and one of 50 cents.
 The Commercial Appeal today prints the following editorial appeal for funds. The Commercial Appeal has raised over S5,000 in the states of Arkansas, Tennessee, Mississippi and Alabama. Why the Democratic party needs the financial aid of all its members is shown in the editorial reproduced below:
 We beg to call the attention of our Democratic friends to the telegram of Mir. Wilbur W. Marsh, treasurer of the National Democratic Committee.
 The Democrats need every cent they can legitimately and honestly get. The Republicans are spending money as they never did before since the days of Mark Hanna. And their leaders have a reason-they want to buy back the control of the vital or gans of this government.
 Absolute power in money was talk en away from small group of men by the reserve bank bill. Conspira- cies to stifle commerce were made dangerous by decision of great courts, after proper legislation. There have been humanizing efforts about this Wilson administration which are not pleasing to those who would exploit the masses for their own benefit. The aristocracy of dollars gave place to the aristocracy of fair dealing be- tween man and man.
 The eight and 10 per cent boys and the 90 per cent call money boys are furious. They look at this great war that is being fought and they feel that if they had controlled things, as they did four years ago, they could have broughts the country to it's knees, and that out of the toll of the American people they could have made billions.
 It is not possible any longer to boycott a good business to death by refusing it credit.
 It is dangerous even to attempt to wreck railroad for the benefit of the inside group.
 MT. Wilson put Mr. Brandeis on the bench. Mr Brandeis believes in the people. MT. Brandeis thinks that all the people should have a fair chance. rather than to concentrate the best chances in the hands of few.
 Mr. Wilson signed child labo. bill The bill hits a lot of our south ern fellows, who would work a chilt 72 hours a week, and then give it scripture motto nicely printed on card, visiting nurse, a night school ern fellows, who would work child were saving these children from themselves.
 A lot of people around Memphis are swelling around cursing Wilson. Some of them are getting 20 cents a pound for their cotton. Some of them are holding it for more. They can hold their cotton because they can get plenty of money on it. They can get this plenty of money at cheap rate because of the reserve banking system If it hadn't been for the Wilson administration they would have broke in 1915.
 There are many things in which the Wilson administration has made mistakes. MT. Wilson is not divine. But MT. Wilson made fewer mistakes than Mir. Roosevelt made. MT. Roosevelt hurled us into the worst panic that ever cursed this country. MT. Taft just jelly-fished through his
