those in charge of financing the cam
paign for a nationwide canvass for
funds.
Mr.. Davis own idea of the way
the campaign should be financed as
represented by some of those with
whom he had discussed the subject,
is to seek small personal contribu-
tons from supporters all over the
country, and it is in accord with this
plan that the fiscal officers are pro
ceeding wit hthe details of their or
ganiZation.
With the opening of western head
quarters at Chicago and the rapid
expansion of the eastern headquar-
ters at New York the national or
ganization is beginning now to take
definite shape. Other divisional
headquarters will be opened as the
need for them becomes more urgent.
Both the national and the division
al headquarters will cooperate fully
with the state party organizations
but it has been made plain that the
conduct of the state campaigns viii

Speakers will be sent into what
ever sections there may be a call for
