This telegram means that the demo
cratic committee did not collect suf
ficient funds during the campaign tC
take care of the expenses that were
Incurred
If you look at the total sum to be
raised, it seems rather large, and you
will hesitate to make it personal and
try to help cover the deficiency. But
turn it around and figure it in this
way: Oklahoma has one-fftieth of the
electoral vote of the United States.
lOne-fftieth of the sum to be raised
is $4,000. That does not look so big
for the entire state. Now let's as
sumo that Carter county is one-hftieth
of the amount to be raised by the
whole state Is s120. That does not
look large for Carter county. Figure
| it down further to the precinct and
| if we raise about SO to the precinct
our individual portion of the debt will
be cared for
The Ardmoreite would like to be
the means through which enough
money is raised in Carter county to
pay our pro rata part of the deficit.
We would like to go further and help
in all the counties surrounding us.
If each committeeman will get busy
he can raise his part in one day and
we can make good.
1t matters not where you live, sit
down now and make out small
check for this fund and send it to us
The money will be properly accounted
for and sent Immediately to headquar
ters.
Since victory has come the COM
mittee could very easily go and raise
this money if it were 20 make com
promises for the party. But the dem
ocratic party has never raised dts
funds in that way. When 1t does do
so 1t ceases to be the party of the
people. Its funds have come from the
people in small amounts and every
man who loves the nation better than Z
he loves any party. ought to rejoice /
in this fact, rejoice that the party
will keep clean hands and be in posi- !
ton to deal fearlessly with every ques- /
ton that comes up before congress /
before the executive and before the |
departments. 1t is a great privilegs /
FOR the American people to pay this
themselves and not have Il
paid by favor seekers and not have It
paid by the men who have already
given months of their time to the
iard work of the national campaign.
