Since the inauguration a short while ago the. figures have shot up to something like $4,000 and the campaign is to close shortly. It must, because the need for the money is now. Every dollar now will be worth ten a fortnight or so from this dateas the election is drawing near and -the work to be done must be done now. There is need for every penny. Backed by the great moneyed interests, dollars by the tens of thousand are beine Doured into the Republican campaign coffers. This is not surprising, as it is a fight of the trusts against the people. The trusts would wrest the government from the people. So it is up to the people, by hard work and by making contributions .to the campaign fund, as' there are certain expenses that must be met, to give battle 4nd defeat, Jhis great enemy, that would, if placed in power, not only get back what' it 'donates tdday to the Republican cam paign, but would demand interest many times over through "special legisla tion," which would: mean oppression of the people, The masses of New Hanover county seem to appreciate this, as many small contributions have been made. From scores of worklngmen have come gifts, as they realize that it is their fight. New Hanover wants to do more; should do it; is GOING TO. The latter is the spirit of the Wilson Club. The executive 'committee' of .that ora$itean.hjetito4iy. and placed tne minimum figure at $5,000. It was made plain that this was not alone a try nor hope, but a determination. The club, with the aid of the Democratic masses, aroused to the necessity of the occasion, is going to reach that goal.

Give your part now. great, jury of suffragists..- Those who wish to hear a masterly discussion of the issues of the day should not fail to be .at the Court House tonight. Every voter of the county, who can, should be present. DON'T LET IT SLIP. According to the horrid anti-woman suffragists, Mrs. Catt strikes a pose and there are lots of copycats. Ida Tarbell .declares that Roosevelt is out of date. Also out of reason, and everything else, save breath. Roosevelt wastes his time talking to the miners. The men in the trenches are unalterably for Wilson. Of course, the fellow who started this thing about kisses beinT germ laden has a face like a penny comic valentine. We don't believe that all the dollars that Wall Street can give will count eract the common sense of the Amer ican people. By now Colonel Rooseevlt is prob ably perfectly willing to agree tht John M. Parker is an admirable VICE presidential candidate. The news that eggs are bringing fifty cents, a dozen in New York in dicates that some one other than the hen is laying for the people. Another "thing about holding . the Mexican situation in abeyance, there is always chance of Carranza dying of The packing house committee is hanging on tenaciously to its project, which, in our opinion, is a good thing for the community and for this sec tion. Such a splendid proposition, taking advantage of a golden opportunity, should not be allowed to slip. The gentlemen who have been most ac tive in its promotion are not going tdi permit this to happen, if they can help it. Thertin they deserve the thanks of the community. Yet they deserve more than this; they deserve hearty support. This section can't get de velopment if people do not lend a hand and if i optimist, he is now thought to have been a decidedly far-sighted type of person. Cotton has but little higher to go in price to reach this mark, and wagers would hardly be made that it will not reach it. Local calculations, as well as rec ords, have all been upset by cotton. Every day when it would seem that the price has reached the limit it goes higher. Thus yesterday it reach ed 17 cents, smashing the record. Yet this business of record-smashing, so far as the price of cotton is con cerned, has become rather the ex jpected, than the surprising. col- 'the ON THE JOB. Secretary Cashwell, of the New Hanover county executive committee, is certainly a live-wire. A voter can't unmuffle his ears these days without hearing his resonant voice calling those who can do notidcWn maledictions on the Republican invest and does anyone deny that development is needed? Not merely party and unfolding the charms of the Democratic cause. The chap who has "because," just the same as expansion the right to cast a ballot can't even a'; any time is desired, but because open his mail wjtnout seeing emblaz- this particular section must not stand jone(j across the face of a letter admo- stH- Inition from the trenchant pen of the mmmm . I mere is too mucn neip given, even same rentieman nreachine to him the doctrine of; registering and, then voting for the Democratic party on though unintentionally, to the devel opment of other places, while this sec tion goes wanting; suffering at pres-i ent and to suffer, by lost opportunity, in the future. THE SUPER-HUMAN CANDIDATE. Candidate Hughes sets forth that all this charge about the Republican party wanting war and everything else that is said, may be said, could be thought of or be born of accident, is piffle, or words to that dignified, caus tic and illuminating effect. Just why the allegations, in face of his past ut terances, his gyrations and associa tion, are not true, he fails to explain, J own vot6f but to stiiv up dismissing the entire category with 1 f enows tne bombastic assertion tnat it November 7th. WhCe Secretary Cashwell, no doubt, is a strong believer in the eight-hour day, it begins to look as if he is working about twenty-four hours to the day in behalf of the Democratic cause, getting his required sleep one eye at a time. Not only is the action of the sec retary calculated to spread informa- , tion and arouse the people to the necs- sity.of registering and voting, but it is contagious. It is very apt to make a voter catch the spirit and not only determine to go the limit with his the other death.

In other words, the earth, the seas, the heavens, to say nothing of mere man, would starfd in fear and trembling and dare not do.There are two re wards in this. First, The Charlotte Observer bears tid ings that Colonel Bryan in this cam paign is "sawign wood."We would ,rather he would get out and chop ,a few block-heads. Our idea of hurling vengeance up on the stingy man is to get him on the ocean, make him seasick, and when he would give up all he pos sesses, he can't do it. There is such a thing as judging by earmarks. Hughes may be a man of peaces but' it is noticed that the two kingpins of peace, William Jennings Brany and Henry Ford, don't recog nize him. Harry Thaw yelled for Roosevelt, but we have failed to hear of him coming out for Hughes, which is one of the best ways we know of for con vincing the public that he is not real ly" crazy. s over Is going Democratic by a Han- large majority, but the 'Idea' is to make the majority just as large as possible. Anywhere else this beautiful style of weather in October would be hail ' d as something extraordinary, as well as delicious. In Wilmington, it is just the usual thing. anytnmg, either through design or accident, because Charles . Evans Hughes is President. What he would have done when the Lusitania was sent to the bottom he does not think necessary to tell, nor what when trouble broke out in Mex ico, saying that they never would have happened. The same can apply to the railroad controversy, we suppose. Just why they would not have happen ed is not told to the masses, but then what Republican ever thought it nec essary to explain anything to the people? It is not his or rather not the people's business. The public is left, to guess whether Mr. Hughes would have prevented these disasters by a magnetic glance of the eye or, a graceful flourish of the hand. , But it can rest assured that the ' people would have been saved.. The. infan- the larger the vote, the larger the county's representation in State and district conventions; second, it will be a pleasing, a fine thing to. win the silk flag offered for the banner Dem ocratic county of the Old North State. While voting in such a simple thing, yet it is a very important thing. Let every Democrat in t New Hanover county realize this and do his duty by - registering now and casting his ballot on that glorious day next month, the -7th, according to the cal endar when Woodrow Wilson, the President of 'all the people and the friend of the masses, will be given an overwhelming vote of endorsement in his' re-election. - OUR DAILY BIRTHDAY PARTY.

There Is no sec)t thfit in a vigorous way the development of the leroplane on an extensive scale and v'rth a, view to. ..its general use both for Dasseneer and freight service is quietly proceeding.- Thexa are those who do not hesitate to predict that within the next decade, and perhaps within five, years, the aeroplane will be in common use and wni be brought within the reach of men of moderate means so as to afford tnem a ready vehicle of transportation from and to their summer homes. The interest ing fact is noted by President' Edward M. Magar.of the , Wright Company, that he hasrecenUy " received a re quest for estimates on ten aeroplanes, each of three-ton freight capacity, with which valuable ore rrom an in accessible mine, is to be carried from the mountains to a convenient shipping point. The part that the aeroplane is playing in the great European war as tonishes all observers and must in evitably lead, at the close of the war, to a wider utilization of the aeroplane in peaceful pursuits. Des Moines, Iowa, Oct. 16. An or ganized "drive" on Iowa's Prohibition Law, one of the most seriqus and ex pensive ever undertaken, apparently is being carried on by the brewers with a view of breaking down the ac tive campaign which -has been waged by the drys of the State in the last four years. Train load after train load of beer and whiskey are- being rushed into the State in an effort to break down "the workings of the stat utory Prohibition Act. - Bootlegging has flourished as never before,- aimed chiefly to influence sentiment in the present State campaign, it is believed. Raids made by Des Moines author ities last week show how extensively the agents of the breweries of. the country had been operating in Iowa despite the efforts of the State and local authorities to drive out the boot leggers. Agents, of the big brewery companies have been stationed in Des Maines headquarters for the State campaign they are conducting to solic it orders for liquors which are to be delivered by express or mail. All this is contrary to State laws, whirh qual ify such individuals as bootleggers in the' fullest sense of the word. Five prominent agents of brewing companies were arrested in the raid and their files and other documents confiscated. These documents' throw some interesting lights on the boot legging situation in the whole State and some of the most prominent fam ilies in the city are said to be involved in the campaign to ( make ( the Prohi bition Act so ridiculous that" it may. be repealed at the coming session of the General Assembly.
