JAMESON has already obtained . ire
mendous list Of names reaching infc
every county in every state 1n tbs
Union. and thousands Of letters ars be-
ing poured out, signed ny him, oAllins
for funds and information a. 10 demo-
Gratis who might contribute.
Mr.. JAMESON began BY sending ont
the blanks to the county and precinct
committeeman with the request that
they list democrats IN their localities
At the head OF these blanks to demo-
cratic workers appears the followins
instructions;
Names being the basis Of an effec-
tive organization. the democratic ma
tional committee 70 appealing TO yo,,
to secure tho names Of mon and WON :

that We have n. May I itennise a few
things that will save q rood deel OF

ferrins your Information TO our hle
cards and IN getting II oorrect' They
ares
write names and addresses clearly.
Have initials correct. Where yen can,
give rural free delivery or residsnos

"A mans occupation. business or
profession 10 important because then
we know better how to interest him.
Please note both approximate worth
and income: tell us about what you
think they are: II is an essential mat
ter, because It Is fair that each one
should give all he can afford: the bur-
den should not be on the generous few;
we must depend on the great mass OF
the folks to furnish the necessary
funds: we don't want to ask anything
unfair Of any body"
| Then, In italics. is this statement:
IT any names you give are federal Of
flee holders. or If you yourself arc one,
be sure to note that fact"
Mr.. Jameson has adopted policy o!
persistence that is characteristic OF
numerous Iowans-that Of eticktoitive-
ness. He does not let democrat on
with g. refusal to contribute, asserting
that no one can write him the last let
ter. The names Of some democrats al
ready reported on carry such hentih-
cations as "close," ~tight-hsted," tight
wad." Mr.. Jameson gives these sub
1ects a special loosening up treatmen,
| in O. line Of letters designed to touch
| their party feeling to the extent Of con
tributing. "The party Will succeed,
he says, IF the members OF 1t indi-
vidually do not fall"
