because he said: Upon the acquainting
Of the party public of the purpose de-

Mr.. HAYS went into detail as to the
methods of organizing the states and
discussed arrangements made with both
the senatorial and congressional cam
paign committees of the party to the
end that there would be but one money
raising organization.
I'm that connection he said, sit was
understood between the national com
mittee and these two committees that
the national committee would help raise
the money for them, guaranteeing 70
them the amounts which they thought
would be necessary for the congressional
and senatorial campaigns.
Amount of Budget.
"The campaign budget or estimate
was worked out beginning, as of July /,
for total which would be needed Tor
the actual campaign and this was 3d.

reau Headquarters expenses was set
at $3.50, 1874 for Washington, New YORK,
Boston, Chicago Denver and San Fran
cisco, and rents for all headquarters
were estimated at $40 ,643.
For publicity $1,346,5O0 was afppro-
priated and for miscellaneous OBJECTS,
such as bureaus of clubs shipping de-
partments and distribution, freight, ex-
press, all travelling and other expenses
Incident to raising Of money, SooU,32o
was set aside.
1T is my opinion that about this
amount will be necessary for the ma
tional committee to spend" SAID MT.
Hays.
1T is my opinion that the total amount
which had been, and will be finally col
lected by the joint money raising organ
mittees in their state elections will APP
proximate $1,000,OOO. This is no part
of the national committees fund.
Mr. Hays then charged that the Demo
cratic organization had planned to raise
from IS 100000 to $10000,000 TO finance
its presidential campaign. He called at
tention in that connection, to the New
York World of Sunday, August "A. 1919,
reporting a meeting of the Democratic
national executive committee at Atlannc
City. He said this account quoted w. u.
Jameson Of the Democratic national
committee as telling of plans to finance
the 1920 campaign by a campaign fund
of from $5,OOO000 to $10,0OO0O0.
Mr.. Jameson was formerly Demo
cratic campaign manager from Iowa and
was associated with Leo Marsh in the
financial end Of the 1916 campaign.
ALSO we were assessed by the con-
tinuing activities of the opposition in
their 1918 soliciting machinery said Mr..
Hays. With very large offices in the
Bond building at Washington and with
several hundred employees which money

Mr.. Cummings explained to the com
mittee that the organization of which he
was chairman was poverty stricken when
he assumed that office and that he left
to his successor $651 in cash and a net
indebtedness of slightly more than $780,
600.
A charge by Mr.. Hays that as early
as July, 1919, the Democratic commit
tee had installed an elaborate fund
gathering organization in the Bond build
ing, Washington, was explained BY Mr..
Cummings as a bureau for both propa
ganda and finance. He said that it
grew from hope but was reduced in
size when it was found that the over
head charges for maintaining the organ
ization exceeded the receipts BY from
$4,000 to $4,000 a month.
Agree on Legislation.
The two chairmen agreed that lcgis-
lation looking to federal control Of pres
idential campaigns was desirable SEN
ator Pomerene argued that congress
was powerless at present because the
supreme court had held that presidential
electors were state officials. A sugges-
ton that constitutional amendment
might be necessary to give congress
oversight into presidential campaigns
brought from Mr.. Hays a proposal that
the parties might unite in an effort to
obtain such a change in the basic law.

GERMAN CHURCH
 MEMBERSHIP IS
 FAST DECREASING

Berlin, July S.-Sos great is the falling off in church membership here that the Berlin Synod of the German Lutheran Church has voted to take drastic measures against per- sons who withdraw. Reports read at a, recent meeting of the Synod showed that while in 1915 there were only 25 defections, the number last year reached 5.2s7. As many women as men withdrew, most of them being the Socia1-Democratic party. The Synod resolved that all those withdrawing should be excluded from the prfveleges of the church, their children to be denied baptism and to receive confirmation instruction only on certain conditions. To make these measures effective the Synod voted ! to introduce cards to show that the holders are t:hona- fide church mem bers.
 ! Escape fromo church taxation is said to be the. principal reason for
 withdrawals, Every German citizen
 is assumed tosbe a member of the
 state church and is taxed for its up- 1 keep. Formerly there were few with
 drawaie owing to the difficulties plac-
 ed in the way of those wishing tc
 do so and also to the social discredi'
 that accompanied, the act. But under g. new law all a person has to do. i:
 to appear before a designated off1cia
 and state &his desire to give up hi:
 church membership. Thereafter he
 is exempt from the payment of church
 taxes.

 The coming of the Fourth of July reminds us once again that form erly many persons particularly children, were injured by fireworks and died of lockjaw, or tetanus. Since the ad- vent of the Safe and Sane Fourth the cases and deaths from this di- sease have diminished greatly. One great aid in reducing the number of deaths from tetanus has been the te- tanus antitoxin. In addition, the vacation months offer opportunities for children te become injured by rusty nails, fish hooks, and other materials whicf often develop into a case of tetanus The State Departm ent of Health sup. plies tetanus antitoxin. through tht local health officers, in a 1.5o0 uni 1 size for preventing tetanus, and { 5000 unit size for treating clinica cases of tetanus.
