CALL FOR FUNDS FOR CAMPBELL
 IS ANSWERED
GENEROUS RESPONSE IS RESULT WHEN REPUBLI- CAN REGISTRATION COM MITTEE ASKS FOR CASH TO AID G. O. P. CAUSE.
(From Thursdays Daily.)

When lOm Campbell IS elected m November, it will be as the pebbles candidate. Folks know this, and that is why they have answered so prompt ly the call for funds sent out by the Republican Registration Committee
 There are no rich copper million aires to supply the money for Tom Campbcll's campaign. If there were. the problem would be absurdly sim pie. The work would be done and promptly paid for, and no citizen would have heard word about ex- penses.
 But the money for the peoples can didate must come from the people themselves or there will be no peoples candidate
 Investigation after the election showed that there were enough Camp bell men who failed to register in 1916 to have absolutely assured his election. It would be a crime to all low such a condition to be repeated. To obviate the possibility, registra- ton committees have been organized in every county in the State. They are working in conjunction with the State Central Committee.
 The work of these committees in insuring that every possible voter registers, requires money now. It must come from the friends of Tom Campbell and from those lovers of square dealing who resent the outrag- cous way in which Campbell was rob- bel of the governorship to which he had been declared elected by Demo- cratic court.
 Later, meetings will be held and ar engagements must be made to insure that all who have registered, vote. This will mean the necessity for more funds.
 Some of those who prefer absolute partisanship to decency, fairness. right or Americanism. have indulged in ponderous splutterifications in ex- pressing horror at the fact that the Republican registration committee have turned direct to the people in their appeal for funds to right the great wrong done Tom Campbell and the 6.000 Democrats who voted for him in 1916. They call 1t cheap and talk about charity It is one of the most unique condi- tions existing in American politics to- day. Already many Democrats have contributed to the Campbell fund. There will be few checks for $50 or S1OO. Most of them will be for Sl and for g.
 The men who give are Americans. They are not contributing anything to Tom Campbell They are provid- ing the money necessary for their own campaign to elect their own can didate who will be their own governor after January l, 1919.
 From Cottonwood comes the fol- lowing interesting letter:
 There are few good Republicans in Cottonwood. They will all support our friend Campbell. There are also quite a number of conscientious Democrats who are sorry they ever voted for Hunt. They will support Campbell, too. But the majority of the voters in this neighborhood are Wobblys Cottonwood is a sort of incubator for them. I enclose small check and hope it will help get jus tice for Tom Campbell"
 From Humboldt check for Sl ac- companicd a letter reading: Here with check for $l in support of the work to be done by the Republican committee in connection with the Campbell campaign for gov ernor.
 A second check for g from Hum- boldt was sent in without comment.
 Practically every contribution comes from men or women who are contributing from no ulterior motive but because they are good citizens and they feel their citizenship has 1,,trara1
