HOTEL DUPONT.
Charles Warner. Republican State
chairman. and the Delaware Repub-
lican Finance Committee on Tuesday
began active work of raising funds
throughout the State with which TO
carry the entire ticket to success in
November. This action was in part
the result of the visit in Wilmington
Monday afternoon of Henry Lane Will
son. former Ambassador to Mexico
and James G. Blaine, Jr., grandson Of
the famous Republican stateman.
The luncheon and meeting of the
finance committee in the duBarry
room of the Hotel dupont, Monday
afternoon was attended by Republi-
can leaders from all three counties,
who expressed themselves as delight
ed with the exposition of the partys
financial and campaign policies as
enunciated by the distinguished Wis
itOrs.
After an eloquent discourse by Mr.
Wilson on the principles and plat

Blaine, who is an assistant to the
treasurer of the Republican National
Committee and has charge of collec-
ton of funds in the east, discussed in
detail the plans for raising money for
the campaign.
Mr.. Blaine began with the declara-
tion that he wished to personally re-
fute the charges made by James NJ.
Cox. Democratic nominee, that viii
II. Hays. Republican national chair
man, had perjured himself in his tes-
timOny concerning amounts of funds
raised.
Il know of no man in business who
carries on his work with greater hon
esty and sincerity of purpose" said
Mr.. Blaine. "When Mr.. Hays declared
he had fixed a limit of $1,000 on cam
paign subscriptions he told the truth.
The $1,000 limit is Hays big idea and
real idea, and the party must get
down to it at once"
Mr.. Blaine followed this declaration
by reviewing funds raised in previous
campaigns. In the past. he said, the
great bulk of money had been given
by a relatively small number of men.
Such a method, he continued. was un-
fair to the party and to the few men.
Mr. Hays went on the speaker.
wants to enlist financial support of
as many voters as possible-even if
they give only 81 apiece. The man
who helps carry on a campaign with
his purse is certain to be a live and
interested worker.
Il can say with authority that we
have not accepted more than $1,000
from single individual subscriber
since June, when we organized for
the campaign. l will say further that
we shall not accept more than $1,000
from any individual until the first of
October. when we may find that we
shall have to raise the limit to $1,000
or more. 1t all depends on how the
great mass of the party responds to
the call. Mr.. Hays will frankly tell
the whole country exactly how the
party's finances stand at the begin
ming of October, whether it is neces-
sary to increase the limit, and how
much and why"
Here Mr.. Blaine read the figures
the present financial status
Of the national treasury as already
made public by Mr.. Hays and show
ing that the Cox charges of a $15,000,-
200 slush fund were ridiculous. He
concluded by pointing out that the
Democratic party was doing its ut
most to create a class appeal. "The I
only right way to do" he declared "is
10 play fair with everybody, to give
every man his just due. irrespective
Of his position in life"
A t.r..-, i.
some of the leading in .
,idents which led up to the declara- I
ion of an armistice in the war and .
he meeting of the Peace Commits .
iioners in Paris, declared that after
he treaty had been signed, the
President had "given a mandate to
he country for a Democratic Con-
,ress. but the people had rejected it
md elected a Republican body" He
denounced seizure of the cables be-
ween this country and Europe by

iUity agent, and the s5I.T5Sy viii which ch
lad hedged about the Paris Confer
nee itself. "That peace conference
vas the most secret and autocratic
f any in the worlds entire history"
e declared.
Next Mr.. Wilson took up seriously
he different points in the Peace
reaty, which had been attacked by
enator Lodge and others in the Sen
te. "Under the Presidents doctrine
