Salisbury Says Federal Trade Com
missioner Should Get Wis
consin Seat.

The vacancy in the United States
Senate from Wisconsin. caused by
the recent tragic death OF Senator
Paul o. Husting, is exciting the inter-
est OF Washington political leaders.
Particular interest attaches 10 the
fact that Joseph z. Davies. member
of the Federal Trade Commission, Is
being urged to make the race for the
Democratic nomination and he may
do so. Davies and the late Senator
Hastings were warm personal and
political friends.
Senator Willard Salisbury, presi-
dent pro tempore OF the Senate,
passed through Washington yester-
day, going home from a two weeks
rest at the Virginia Hot Springs. and
was asked what he thought of the
Wisconsin situation. He said he hac
been associated with Mr.. Davies in
Democratic Committees. and thought
Of no one in Wisconsin in connection
with United States Senatorship ex-
cept Mr.. Davies.
Mr.. Davies and Travelled all over
this country together long before the
Baltimore convention, preaching the
necessity OF nominating Gov. Wilson,
Of New Jersey. for the Presidency,
and the fights we had brought us
close together and made me know
Mr.. Davies so well that IL / could do
anything from a personal standpoint

Anxious to enlighten National Capt.

paign and to offset unfortunate and
ill-advised criticism which generally
precedes his arrival in a city. the e.
nance committee Of the Washington
Sunday campaign has prepared a de-
tailed explanatory statement for pre-
sentation to all cooperating churches
on the coming Sabbath.
This statement shows that, on this
date. there will be 1o7 churches in the
District and it's suburbs which will
aid the general committee when the
Sunday campaign is inaugurated JAN

Christ"
1t also explains that Mr. Sunday
has no financial interest In these ar
rangements except to know that all
bills are paid Emphasis is laid on
the fact that Mr.. Sunday Will recaive
no money here. save from one volun-
tary free-will offering TO be taken al
the close Of the campaign.
Outline Finance Plan.
The plan adopted to finance the
movement is outlined in the state
ment as follows:
"A guarantee fund of $4,000 is
to be secured by pledges. No one
has ever been asked to pay anything
upon these pledges in the fifty OF
more cities where campaigns have
been held.
Cash subscriptions Of SIS, 900 are
asked to meet bills for lumber and
payrolls for labor, as the erection
of the tabernacle progresses. the
preparatory work, and other items
needing immediate payment.
These cash donations, with the
offerings taken at the tabernacle,
have always secured the necessary
funds to meet every expense in the
first few weeks of the campaign.
When sufficient funds have been coll
lected at these meetings to satisfy
all our obligations. no further Of
ferings will be taken.
Pledges in small amounts from
many persons are preferred to large
gifts from the few. Subscriptions
of 81 or more from each attendant
are desired. Contributions from per-
sons in sympathy with this move
ment are also solicited and may be
sent to John C. Let's, treasurer. sol
