DEMOCRATS HAVE
GOOD NEWS FROM
MANY SECTIONS
State Chairman Isaacs to Temper
arily Give Up Law Practice
to Push Campaign.
NEED OF FINANCES
is BIG. PROBLEM

Encouraged by the prospects ot
De mocratic success, Henry X. lsaacs,
Democratic State Chairmar, will at the
sacrifice of his law practice temporarily
give up his private business tor the next
month in order To devote all of hls time
TO the campaign. Those who do business
with MIR lsaacs can realize what thIs
means, but reports that have come To
the Democratic State Chairman within
the past week have been so promising
that he decide d to dc vote all his time to
pushing the campaign. He will from
Monday be at Democratic he adquarters,
6l0 French street {.
One of the things that have been an in
spiration to the Democrats is the manner
in which the wom2 n are flocking to the
support Of the party. There has been
plcnty of evidence publicly to show how
the women intend To vote, the leaders
assert and from ports coming to them,
thus does not tell the whole story. There
are hundrn DIS of women who do not take
any public part IN any movement, who ~
Is stated are going 90 support the Demo
cratic ticket. IL y this quic influence and
sentiment upon which the leaders arc
counting upon on election day.
For several wee ks the matter of finances
has been proving serious problem Tor
Chairman Isaacs and his workers. The
funds to defray clerical expenses, hiring
of halls. paying of bands, mailing and
printing expenses and countless other
items Of legitimate campaign expenses
have been lacking. How TO raise the money
has been the subject Of many conters nee >.
IL hae been decide d to have solicitation
unit work among Democrats, soliciting
funds ard provided with receipt blanks
to give 10 contributors and also keep check
upon the contributions This committee
will begin work next week.
A man who lives on Tatnah street sent
fivc dollars To MIR. Isaa cs yesterday. lie
said IL was not as large an amount as he
would like to give but Il was all he could
afford Thera have been other letters
Goa tain.ng small amounts received, and
while they show the sentiment Of the
voters. vet il requires number Of them
To meet the high price Of things today
For illustration the manager OF one
auditorium in this city told the leaders
that It would cost 81 900 a night for the
rent Of their place.
The Democratic leaders are IL need oi
funds to carry on an aggressive campaign
and while they have hopes OF partially
solving this very important matter, they
would be grateful for contributions.
The mcctirg scheduled for this after.
noon in front Of tho Public Building wa'

Democratic National Committee to pcs
itively assign a speaker here aud TO The
chance that appeared Yesterday that
Govcrnor Cox might come. Later aftcl
