Unistead and his cohorts on the Democratic Exe cutive Committee have done a won- in raising funds for the Democrats, more than reaching their quota. This has been done despite the fact that all donations have been small. That it, all except one. Dick Rey nolds, who is now an officer on a ship in the Pacific, donated $5,000.
