RED CROSS TO
SEEK PLEDGES
FOR $4,000
Hoped to Put Across Big
Financial Campaign in
Two Days.
BROOKS FLEMING LEADER
Preliminary Plans Being
Made at Conference
This Afternoon.

a campaign to secure $4,000. a
sum sufficient TO run the local Red
Cross chapter for period of one
year will be waged in this city and
county March % and q according to
plans outlined last evening at meet
ing Of officials of the Red Cross or
ganizatior and leading c:lizens of the
city. held in the offices of ]. Walter
Barnes in the city building.
The campaign will be conducted by
the local chapter with its Is auXil-
iarieS and to complete plans for i
meeting of the officials of the local
cbapter its auxiIiaries and others in
terested will be held at Red Cross
Headquarters on Tuesday afternoon OF
next week.
At the meeting held last night A.
Brooks Fleming. Jr. was named
chairman of the Executive committee
OF the campaign. Mr.. Fleming this
afternoon at the office of J. Walter
Barnes in the City building is hold
ing a conference with ]. NJ. Jacobs.
r. T. Cunning ham. c. W. Evans. p
NJ. Confey. Mrs. James a. Meredith
and Mrs Vaughn Jolliffe regarding
the matter. and the actual start OF
the movement probably will take place
before the meetings ends. These
people. with Mr.. Fleming. constitute
the Executive committee OF the Ma
riou County Council of Defense. who
were charged also with the duty OF
devising plan for organizing the
war work OF Marion county. but this
afternoon they are not meeting in
either of these capacities, but as adj
visors to Mr.. Fleming in the Red
Cross financing.
Several plans are under considera-
ton at this time, the one meeting
with perhaps the greatest favor be
ing the monthly subscription cam
paign whereby each and every indf-
vidual in Marion county VIII be
asked to make a monthly subscription
to the fund from sum of ten cents
per month 20 ten, twenty or even
hundred dollars month.
Corporations may be asked to Sc
cure a voluntary subscription from
each employe of a certain SUM
month.
It is believed by those IN closest
touch with the movement that the mo-
new can easily be raised in this way.
The local chapter of the Red Cross
has received most substantial aid
firm its fifteen auxiliaries and the
success of the venture will depend
largely on these auxiliaries. 1t is
proposed to have the auxiliaries or
ganize in their respective communi-
ties and secure subscriptions to be
turned in on the $4,000 fund.
Among those who discussed plans
for the campaign at the meeting held
last night were A. Brooks Fleming,
Jr.. J. Walter Barnes, r. T. Cunning
ham. C. W. Evans. Harry Williamson
and Mrs Vaughn Jolliff, Mrs. T. l.
Brett. Mrs. Samuel Leeper, Mrs. Ro-
ger Kingsland and Miss A. Ruth Kel-
Those in in charge Of the project
are most enthusiastic over its out
come and believe the two days will
suffice OF bring the campaign to a
successful conclusion.

HAS WAR CHANGED
IDEAS ON POLITICS?
Here is an Incident Which
Would Seem to Indicate
That It Has.

For some weeks professional poll
Licians and writers OF political news
have been beating tom toms and en-
pIoying other familiar methods in an
effort to get the public to take some
interest in the campaign which will
be on in West Virginia and throughout
the country this summer and fall.
The failure Of the public to respond
would be discouraging IN the extreme
is marked.
And yet the public is not unmirdful
OF the fact that this is a campaign
year. Men are thinking OF politics
and political issues, but they are not
thinking about them in the old fash
toned way. If the politicians do not
wake up and find OUT what the public
really is thinking about, politically
speaking. they are apt to find that the
campaign has started without waiting
for them to get aboard.
Bv way of illustration that men. and
especially men of affairs are going to
do a lot Of independent thinking. and
perhaps take a lot OF independent &C
ton, along political lines this year,
there might be cited the fact that
one day this week at a gathering OF
men VINO were waiting together for
something entirely foreign TO politics
to be disposed OF one OF them said
apropos to nothing in particular.
Marsh Jacobs would make an ideal
Republican congres sional candidate
in this district this fall"
The man to whom the remark vas
made was surprised and showed 1t
plainly.
.T mean IT. said the first man. The
war is the big subject before the peo-
ple right now. It is not a political is
sue, and it is not going to be, except
where the politicians make the nj =
take OF forcing the nominations II
men who are not heartily in sympathy
with the government In its efforts to
win the war, and win it quickly. ]. NJ.
Jacobs is as much behind the govern
ment and behind the President in this
matter as any man IN the state. He
has proved it by the work he has
done and by what We all know he
thinks about It. He could not be at
tackled rpon that score. Nor could he
be attacked upon the score OF his 10y
atty to the Republican party He IS
good party man. sound on the tariH
and upon the other things Republicans
believe in, and when the war IS over
he can be depended upon to be as good
a fighter for the party as he for the
country now. Also he can get the ear
and the support Of the voters. Think
it over"
The man to whom this was address
ed did think It over. He confesses
that he thought Of little else for
time. Finally he, told his troubles to
reporter.
