WILSON FUND IS
 GIVEN BIC BOOST Slll ALREADY RAISED Local Finance Committee to Join With Log Cabin Democrat in
 Raising Funds.
The Wilson Campaign Fund.
Total

The decision of the local finance committee recently appointed by the Democratic National Committee to join with the Log Cabin Democrat is raising funds here for the Demo cratic national campaign gave that fund a big boost today. One hun dred and eight dollars and fifty cents was subscribed and paid to the fund today, and a draft for $111.50, which includes the $3 acknowledged Wednesday, will be forwarded this evening to Wilbur w. March. treas urer of the Democratic National Committee, 30 East Forty-Second street, New York City. This will be the second large contribution to go out from Arkansas, Marianna having reported $15O yesterday.
 One of the leading Faulkner coun- ty Democrats, whose modest request ed that his name be not published, wrote a check for $50 to the Log Cabin Democrat to be forwarded for use Tn the campaign to re-elect Democracy's great president. Two others gave $25 each and there was one contribution of $5, one of S2.5O and one of $1, all of which are list ed above.
 The names of all contributors will be sent to the national headuuarters. and each one will receive handsome Autographed receipt, whether the amount is $l or $100. Campaign but tons will also be given at the Log Cabin Democrat office to those who contribute.
 The local finance committe hopes to raise at least S200 for the campaign. The committee, which is composed of Jo Frauenthal, H. B. Ingram, S. G. smith, Wiley Mosley, B. L. Harton, D. o. Harton, Frank Farris and J. E. Little, will cooperate with the Log Cabin Democrat instead of securing subscriptions and sending them di- rect. They want every loyal Demo- crat in Faulkner county who feels that he can afford to do so to contrib ute at least $l to the campaign fund No money is needed of course, to carry Arkansas for Wilson, but in the pivotal states a desperate battle is being waged against the millions furnished the Republicans by the great manufacturing interests and trusts. and every dollar that is se- cured will he mt to a pood uSa in supplying literature and speakers.

that may be introduced in the Ark kansas legislature the forceful in- f1uence of leaders in social welfare in other states.
 There is an aggregate membership of 200,O00 in the component organ izations, and their support of any measure should have a tremendous influence upon the lawmakers.
 One of the preliminary questions taken up by the council is a bill for the establishment of a general char ity hospital for the state, wherein the sick, injured and crippled who cannot afford treatment elsewhere may be given free treatment. It provides for the sale of forty acres belonging to the state, west of the deaf mute institute, and the use of S25,O0O left by the late Dr. Isaac Poison for the erection and main tenance of such an institution. It IS also to be provided that the states charitable institutions shall be di- vCrced from politics, and shall be controlled by a board of managers to be appointed by the governor and to serve without salary. The secre- tary alone would receive compensa- ton for his services. This would eliminate the present system of man agement by the state board of con- trol provided by the legislature of 1915, and it's proponents claim would save money and result in better service.
