DEMOCRATS To.
F|XFENCESFOR
FALL CAMPAIGN
National Committee Executive
Group Meets Here to
Plan Activities.
BY COLE e. MORGAN.
Universal Service.

The Democrats will turn on steam
for the fail election campaign when
the executive committee Of the
Democratic National Committee
meets at national headquarters here
today.
Plans will be formulated for ex-
tending and enlarging the commit.
tees publicity, educational, club or
ganization and women's work, and
attention will be given to the financ-
ing Of the drive for votes.
When Cordell Hull became chair.
man Of the national committee last
winter he inherited a debt Of some
thing like $200. 900, carried over from
the 1920 campaign. Since that time
this indebtedness has been reduced
about $4,000, In addition to provid-
ing funds for current expenses. With
the approach OF the campaign sea-
son the raising OF funds becomes
easier. due to increased interest of
the voters In political affairs. 30
that comparatively little difficulty 10
anticipated In providing a reasonable
amount of revenue for the fall fight.
The executive committee viii elect
an acting secretary to succeed ed
Hoffman, Indiana national commit
teeman, who has just been succeeded
by Charles A. Greathouse. The In
diana State executive committee also
elected Mrs. Bessie l.. Riggs to sue
coed Miss Julia Landers as the wom-
an member from that State. There
are two other vacancies In tho wom.
ans division. Mrs. Cone Johnson, Of
oF,fI
of the Philippine Islands, having re-
signed. Their State and territorial
committees will fill those places.
At Mondays conference conditions
will be discussed at length as to the
chances for Democratic success In
the thirty States regarded by Ma.
tional headquarters as debatable ter.
ritory. These are the States in which
there were upsets In 1920. The
Democrats hope to recover much of
the ground lost two years ago.
Members OF the executive commit.
tee called for today's meeting are:
Isdore B. Dockweiler. California;
Miles G. Saunders. Colorado: Homer
s. Cummings, Connecticut; Clark
Howell, Georgia; Mrs. Theresa M.
