dollar Democracy" will be the key
note Of the campaign for funds to be

throughout the state and 1t is hoped
that South Carolina will be the first
state In the south to complete it's

every white Democrat in the
state Of South Carolina is expected
to do his duty. The appeal will be
made to every one of the 100000 vot-
ers in the state to give as much as
one dollar to help carry on the fight
for the rule OF Democratic principles
throughout the country.
South Carolinians are enjoying
period Of unusual prosperity and there
Is not member Of the party in the
state who can not afford to give as
much as one dollar to help carry on
much as one dollar. OF course if good
Democrats desire to contribute more
than.a dollar no effort will be made
to stop the gifts. However one dol
lar will place Democrats in just as
thousand dollars.
There is every indication that Cox
rand Roosevelt will sweep the coun-
try. Yet notable Democratic victory
can not be attained at the polls in
November unless every member Of the
party gets squarcly behind them.
"The Republican party will have
access to large money sources. They
will spend great sums in an effort
to defeat the rule of the people in
the coming elections. Great corpora
tions and Wall Street kings will come
literally to the aid Of the Republicans
An appeal to the people is tho only
means by which the Dcmocra !, can
win. The fight is going to be a
strenuous one. 1t must be waged re-
lentlessly in the states under enemy
control. Cox and Roosevelt have an
nounced that they will conccde no
state In the country to the Rcpubli-
cans.
