CHICAGO, Oct. 31.-With two ad- dresses Saturday in Indiana, Charles G. Dawes will bring to an end his speaking campaign as the republican nominee for the vice presidency.
 Leaving here early in the day MT. Dawes will go to the farm of George .Ade in northwestern Indiana to make nn address at a farmers rally and from there will go to South Bend to make his final campaign speeh.

Euins 4a,u Refuses 7o Disclose Attiude I Minor Gas
Challenge To Democracy.

Democracy in Alabama is being challenged to put itself on record in financial support of the party campaign. There is no desire to vie with huge contributions by favored interests but there is challenge to the democrats of this state to show by the number of small contributions that the rank and file of democracy are concerned to place their party and their party principles in control of our national affairs.
 There is every incentive to the loyal party adher ents to give financial support to the campaign.
 Their candidate, John w. Davis, stands head and shoulders as both man and statesman above any rival
 Davis campaign has been convincing as to his sincerity, determination and capacity.
 He has fought single-handed almost and has asked favors of any man, except that the people cast their ballots for him. Yet in his behalf the campaign managers ask the democrats of the nation to help defray the legitimate and unavoid able expenses of the campaign.
 In return for such contributions neither special favors are promised, nor are improper privileges given in barter. In return for their support John w. Davis promises the people, rich and poor alike, in this country only one thing-good government, equality for all irrespective of party or condition
 If that is what the people of Alabama want, if that is what they understand to be the function of their party, if they desire that the party leaders shall feel the sympathetic support of the party membership, let them send in their contributions, large or small, to this fund.-
 Many have done so, and their example is already encouraging others to do the same.
 It is for democracy.
