 "I am strongly of the opinion that a first step most vital and urgent for Democrats to pursue is to make a thorough survey of underlying con- ditions, present and prospective 1a each Congressional district. In the same connection every public spirited Democrat should be most earnestly requested to cooperate with others in seeing that the cleanest and abl- est Democrat is suggested for Con- gress and is always consistent with To- cal conditiOnS.

Oregon, Vir- that have made the greatest strides in the last few days are Delaware, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, and Virginia.
 Branch Johnson the secretary of the Foundation committee in Vir- ginia, sent the following message this afternoon:
 Virginia has raised about $25,000, or half the quota
 ''Wherever the people have work ed with loyalty and enthusiasm, the results have been immediate l and s scriptions have been made. The money has been subscribed by many people in small amounts.
 "DeVote citizens all over Virginia are succeeding in spite of conditions. They pursue the only correct princi- ple-let the work be done regardless of results. The two outstanding flea lures of the campaign are the eff cient work of the women and the generosity of the school children"
 The pupils of the Richmond schools gave more than $2,OOO to the Foun- dation and hold the record for stu dent subscriptions. w. C. Locker, the director of the night schools, report ed that the ten schools under his tur- isdiction have collected S433. The pupils of the John Marshall Night High School alone gave $372 and the night schools for colored students gave $2S.
 Among the contributors to the Foundation in this city today was Q former student of MT. Wilson at Princeton, who gave a Liberty Bond coupon worth a few cents more than a dollar. He said that he was "a Democrat even while living in Buff falo," though it might have been wise to become a Republican in that city. He said "I think too much of my old teacher, Professor Woodrow Wilson, to become a Republican for patronage on1y.''
 borough interested In the Foundation was held last night at Rockaway under the auspices of the Womens S Democratic Club of the Rockaways. Judge Burt J. Humphrey, of Ja- maica, outlined the purposes of the Foundation, which, he said, is ito provide periodic awards for meritor- ious service to dem ocracy, public vel fare, liberal thought, or peace through justice"

Boston Gives
 Big Ovation tOIrish EnvOys
Especial to The Times.0

Boston gave an uproarious greet ing yesterday to Austin Stack and J. J. O'KeIly. delegates sent by Eamonn De Valera to present the cause of the Irish Republican party to America Their first speeches were made at the
 Massachusetts state convention of the 4. A. R. I. R. In the evenin g both spoke at the Boston Opera, house and at an overflow meeting nearby.
 MT. Stack stated that they had come to America because the news papers on the other side had so Inis- represented the pronouncements of the truth could only be brought to America. by direct word of mouth. Our purpose" MT. Stack said, lis to disabuse our own kith and kin and the whole American people of the false notions about this insidious pro- posal."
 He pointed out as objectionable features of the treaty: Recognition of the King of England as head of the State; the oath of allegiance, the undefined financial obligations the mutilation of the nation by the par tition of Ulster, the occupation of the principal ports by England, the set ting up of a proviSio onal government in the absence of a Constitution, the contem plated disbandment of the Re- publican army, the signing of the pact under dureSs. 'EThe final and determining consideration said MT. Stack, 'tis the acceptance of the treaty would be a betrayal of our martyr, to which young Ireland will never be a party"
 MT. O'Kelly in his speech asserted that the existing government of Ire land is the Republic. adding: Ut has successfully conducted all depart ments of national activity during three years of war to the satisfaction of the nation. and it is to seek the cooperation of IrelandS oldest and most generous friends in preventing the disesta abisment of the Republic that we are here.'

CITY is AROUSED
over NECESSITY
OF AIDING SCHOOL
Indications Are Hun
dreds Will Attend the
Mass Meeting
FAVOR A FULL Term
Sentiment Generally Is
Raise Entire Sum
Needed

Palatka is thoroughly aroused over
the necessity for continuing the term
of the grammor school for the full
nine months instead of permitting it
to end with the closing of recitations
on Friday afternono. This after
noon a mass meeting is being held at
the school auditorium for the purpose
of devising ways and means for
financing the extra three months.
The count yends its obligation to
the grammar school on March T.,
which would be next Tuesday, but in
the event there is no arrangement
made for continuing the term there
will probably be no school on Mon
day, this being devoted to closing
the term.
The seriousness of the situation
has been thoroughly impressed on
every citizen, also the possibility
that the teachers who were engaged
for a nine months period might have
legal claim against the county. At
torneys are divided in their opinion
as to this, but it is cited that other
counties have had to pay teachers for
the full term whether the schools
were kept open or not.
The plan this afternoon is to de-
wise ways and means to raise $4,000.
The sentiment prevails to make it a
whole loaf or nothing, and if those
interested in seeing that the schools
are kept open see that there is no
of raising the money the
estiisawill be closed.
