WILSON FUND IS
NOW NEAR TOP
MARATHON COUNTY WILL
REACH QUOTA BY
SATURDAY

Only an additional $4,000 and Mara
thon county aud Wausau will have
gone lover the top" in its volunta
ry contribution campaign for the
Woodrow Wilson Foundation, that
great national organization, bearing
the name of our ex-president, which
is being founded to establish an an
nual award for the person or group
rendering most meritorious service
to democracy and contributing to lib
eral thought
Wausau and Marathon county peo-
pie have literally contributed, with
but little solicitation, to this fund
Among the largest contributions was
that this week of Mrs. d. L. Plumer
who forwarded a check of $4,000 in
memory of the late Hon D. L. Plumer
whose enthusiasm for democratic
ideals was always an inspiration to
that party's members in Wisconsin
|a1,c who was an admirer of Ex-presi-
dent Wilson.
The quota assigned to this commu-
nifty was $3.50 and by the end of the
week the message that Marathon
county has raised the amount will
be flashed throughout the state.
Describing recent Foundation
meeting at Princeton, news report
follows:
About thousand students, faculty
and townspeople of Princeton held a
meeting on Monday night as trib-
ute to Mr.. Wilson, a member of the
class of 1879, who for eight years was
president of that university The
meeting was held in Alexander hall,
the principal hall of the university
and was under the auspices of the
Foundation. Dean H. B. Fine, chair
man of the university committee, and
Prof Edward Caps, chairman for
Princeton, arranged the meeting,
Or. Henry van Dyke, former min
lister to the Netherlands and Luxem-
burg, who is professor of English
literature at Princeton; Rabbi Steph-
en- S. Wise, of the Free Synagogue,
New York; and Mayor Frederick Dom
nelly of Trenton addressed the gath
ering. Dr. van Dyke outlined the EN-
during evidences of progress made by
Princeton under the leader
ship Of Wilson and especially Mr..
Wilson's work toward democratizing
student life. In. concluding his ad-
dress, he said:
When the sun rises, all men will
see Woodrow Wilson as he is-one of
the greatest of Americans, servant of
Righteousness, lover OF his country
friend of mankind
"Dr. Wise said of Mr.. wilson:
Every word he uttered was a bat
tie. The America, that Wilson never
once failed, failed and tragically
failed Wilson -
According to Karl Mathie about fif-
ty per cent of Wisconsin's quota is
raised, this estimate being based on
replies received from one-third of the
county chairmen.
