To ire Democrats OF Ellis County
The national democratic party is
today face TO face with the most Sc
rious crisis OF 90 existence. and the
Standardization under the leadership
OF that eminent statesman. Woodrow
Wilson. b. fighting for its life The
coming election will determine
whether the democratic party Is TO
continue in control OF the govern
mcnt or whether II Is to pass from
power never TO return Off at least
generation.
The democratic administration
can point with pride to the fact that
IL has fulfilled rs every explicit
promise. More constructive leeisla-
ton has been enacted under the ad-
ministration of Woodrow Wilson
than ever before in the history of
The nation. The republican party
was put out OF power because OF It's
failure 10 keep In touch With the
thoughts and needs OF the nation.
II failed because It served special
interests and not the country at
large
The democratic party has proven
M -four years that it could meet the
new CONDITIONS OF the age. The
question nov Is. shall we return TO
power the party that serves the
special interests or continue In pow
or the party that serves the people?
Arrayed against the national adj
ministration In ito fight to continue
In control OF the government are the
big corporations and sclf-seeking in
forests who have combined their eff
forts to overthrow the democratic
party These corporations are pour
ing wealth OF campaign funds in
10 the treasury OF the republican ma
tfonal campaign committee. Presi-
dent Wilson must depend upon his
friends among the rank and file OF
the voters to furnish the sinews of
war With which an aggressive cam
paign may be conducted. II Is inn
perativc that an active campaign be
made In all the doubtful states and
10 do this will require funds. The
national committee has appealed to
the democrats Of Texas to contribute
100000 to the national campaign
fund. Ellis county democrats
should not be content to share in
this contribution to an amount less
than $1,000 Every democratic vo-
ter in the county should contribute
something TO this fund. even though
II be small amount.
A committee has been named to
solicit funds in this community and
their appeal should be met with a
liberal response. A careful record
VIII be kept of every dollar received
and expended DO not withhold your
contribution because Ii is a small
one. for in the aggregate the small
contributions will accomplish won
derful results in carrying the gospel
OF democracy into doubtful states.

has been appointed for Waxahachie,
