Ito The Editor of THE NEWS:
I'VE are to-day in receipt of the
following telegram from Democratic
Headquarters in New York:
Outlook for Democratic success
distinctly improved. We have plan-
ned prosecution of vigorous cam
paign during remaining days. We
sincerely appreciate effective help
you have heretofore given us and VIC
earnestly trust it may be possible for
you to send us at once all available
funds.

Chairman General Finance Commit
tee, Grand Central Palace"
1--WE are firmly convinced that if
we can raise sufficient money i'll the
next two weeks to properly prose
cute campaign, the election of Cox
and Roosevelt will be assured.
The opposition has money; we have
not. Will you not make a renewed
effort, through your good paper, to
secure subscriptions in your locality
You may forward same to me in
care of the Citizens Union National
l..
w. w. Marsh, Treasurer, Democratic
National Committee at New York. If
you do send contributions to New
York direct, we would be obliged If
you would advise us here of the
amount in order that we may know
just what Kentucky is doing for the
cause.
Il know l need not emphasize the
urgency of this appeal.

Estate Treasurer.
In a few hours canvass of the city
Tuesday and on Wednesday morning,
a representative Of THE NEWS,
aided by the hearty efforts of Robert
g. Porter and Harry Collins, secured
cash and checks to the sum Of $291,
in response to the above appeal.
This sum was forwarded to Mr.. w.
w. Marsh, Treasurer of the National
Democratic Campaign Fund, at New
York. who will forward to each
donor an acknowledgment of their
contribution. The canvass was not
completed, and was carried on at odd
times, otherwise the amount secured
would have been much larger.
A meeting of Democrats was held
in Louisville, Tuesday, at which
Bourbon county was represented by
John T. Collins and A. B. Hancock
Plans were made at this meeting fol-
raising the sum of $4,000 for the
National compaign. Bourbon's quota
was placed at $1,000, which. it Is
needless to say, will be Oversubscrib-
ed. In view of this the canvassers
Who were prosecuting the work IN
Paris decided to await the action OF
the committee who will have the
new work in charge, combining the
city and county under one manage
ment.
In the meantime contributions
will continue to be accepted at THE
NEWS office from anyone who de-
sires to contribute, and the same VIII
be promptly turned over to the right
parties. Don't wait toe long, bul
send in your contribution RICH
NOW. This is the time the National
Committee wants funds. NOT On
ELECTION DAY. The money Il
badly needed for prediction pur'
poses, such as publicity work
etc. Ample funds would come
to the Democratic campaign mana
gers were they to ignore all questions
of source and purpose represented by
large donations from selfish inter
ests. But they want the people t.
| share in the giving, and give freei!
| for righteous cause. They want u
leave the matter to those who give
| modestly perhaps, but yet out OF IN
motive but unselfish desire to pro
| mote the principles represented o!
