POETS HOUSE AS
MEMORIAL MUSEUM

Camden, N. j., August 1O.-The
humble little house in which Walter
Whitman, the "good gray poet" lived
has been purchased by the city from
the poets three nieces. 1t will be
converted into a memorial museum.
1t will be moved to either Whitman
Park or Forest Hill Park and will

poet. 1t was here that many of the
poems that have throbbed their way
into the hearts of the world were
written. The 101st anniversary of
Whitman's birth was recently cele-
brated by pilgrimage of devotees to
his tomb in a cemetery near here.
The house is square wooden struc-

TO THE DEMOCRATS (
OF UNION COUNTY

have been asked to take charge CT
of the campaign in this County, to
raise funds for the Natiopal Demo-
cratic party. This campaign is based
on the idea that every Democrat is
willing to give at least one dollar for
the cause, but your contribution is not
limited to that. The committee will be
glad to receive whatever amount you
are willing to contribute, but conf
IDENTIFY expects that every Democrat
will give at least dollar.
There are strong hopes for the sue
cess of the National Democratic ticket,
but campaign cannot be conducted
without funds. Money will be poured
into the Republican chests without
|stint or limit. The wealth of the
North is at the service of that party.
That they mean to win the election, if
money can accomplish it, is shown by
the fact that millions of dollars were
spent in the recent efforts of GER
tain candidate, merely to secure the
presidential nomination. All the Re-
publicans need do, is to state the
amount they need, and the men of
vast wealth, who affiliate with that
party, will hand it out.
The Democrats are dependent upon
the people of the nation, and not upon
the money powers. They have no mil
lionaires to supply them with funds.
1t is up to us, the plain people of the
country, and largely the Southern peo-
pie, see that this campaign is fur
nished with funds sufficient to carry
the message of Democracy into the
home of every voter in the land. A
recent statement in the newspapers
gave statistics to show that with the
exception of the campaign of 1916,
that party was successful which had
the most money at its command.
1t is not intended to use money for
corrupt purposes. We leave that to
the Republicans. But there are many
expenses to be met, perfectly legiti-
mate expenses, such as printing,
postage, payment of clerks, expenses
of speakers, and the like, which re-
quire large expenditures. If you
realize what the success of the Repub-
lican party means, particularly with
reference to the appointment of ne
gro office holders in the South, I feel
sure that every Democrat in Union
County will be ready and eager to con-
tribute according to his means in order
to aid in the defeat of such policy.
l am asking, therefore, that in every
community one or more men or women
take up the work of collecting at least
a dollar from everyone who is willing
to give to this high cause. Please do
not wait for the appointment of COM
mittees. Any and every volunteer in
this service will be gladly received.
What I beg is, that each one who reads |
this appeal will appoint himself or
herself committee of one, visit your
neighbors and friends and carry the |
appeal to him. And, to every DEM |
ocrat, let me. say that you can send
your dollar or more direct to me, or
deposit it in your nearest bank to my
credit, having the bank notify ME to |
that effect Millions of dollars are
needed. With sufficient money we can
and will carry the election. Will you
not contribute one of these dollars
am confident that you will. Please
act promptly and literally.
