' LIMIT Tt) CONTRIBI'TrONS. "We want a limit placed on in dividual contributions, that no contri bution may ho received from any In dividual so lattre as to indicate that In- nf bunds If dlvldual's interest of a personal char- I insulllclent. m ier In the result of the election and we want a! contributions above tit rrasnnablii minimum made public. In order that the public may judge what influences are at work and thus .be belter able to decide mi which side those interested only In good govern ment should cast tin Ir votes; and we have suggested a mlnmum of $100. because people ran contribute that amount without siispi inn and those contributing small u mounts may be ho situated that the publication of their contributions would embarrass them. For instance, an employe of a corporation might earnestly desire to assist in this campaign, and If his contribution was published, it -might subject him to punishment- at the hands of the corporation, and the arguments that have Justified the secret ballot Justify secrecy In regard to contributions so small that they cannot be supposed to represent an Interest that is attempting to purchase ravors. w e. have simply suggested $10,000 as a maximum and 1100' as a minimum. We have suggested the Ifith of October as the date upon which all contributions to that time must be published, and that we can not be accused of desiring to conceal anything, we suggest that where contributions are made after the 15th of October that they be made known on the date they are -made, and that they may not accuse us of attempt In? to receive contributions on the i last day, too late for publication, we suggest that no contribution above $100 shall be received within three days of the election. We have tried to cover every point. We want to make an honest campaign: we want the public to understand that It is an honest campaign, and we want to appeal to the honest sentiment of the country that sentiment that I be lieve demands the return of the gov ernment to the hands of the people." APPLAUD BRYAN'S SUGGESTIONS. Mr. Bryan's suggestion was prompt ly adopted amid applause, as, was an other one providing for the publica tion of a complete list of campaign expenditures within 80 days after the election. " The resolution providing for the ap pointment of thc sub-committee was ottered by Hall. ,of Nebraska. . Adjournment of the full committee followed and all took luncheon" as the guests of Mr. and Mrs. Bryan. .Mr. Bryan remarked facetiously that he had seats; for 4, .adding to shouts of laughter, that he believed the White House tables were larger.

Speaking so that he I could be easily heard by the entire I assemblage, he sa,ld in substance: "I . have1 no desire to dictate the nominee for Vice President. All I ask is that j the nominee be a true Democrat, loy- I al to the platform -and the ticket, and I one wliii can command the respect ; and support of the party, regardless ; of -where he comes from. I have no .objection to the nomination of any j of the Southern men named, nor of any man brcnuso he comes from tho ! South, any more than I would have to ' the nomination of any other man be cause he comes from the North, the Kast or the Wit," I reproduce this from pretty accu rate memory, and in view of the fact that all the Southerners mentioned were ex-Confederates. I deem It an ef fective reply to the Watson charge. I am sure trtat Mr. .Josephus Daniels and Mr. R. B. Uicy. of North Caro lina, were present at this conference and that they will fully sustain my recollection. The Democratic State convention did right to instruct for Mr. Bryan; the North Carolina delegation did right to vote for him. and he ls going to be elected. The people are for him, Watson. Butler, et id omne genus to the contrary notwithstanding. THEO. F. KXUTTZ. Salisbury, July 14th, 1908, JCVKXIL.E observation. MR. BR VAX WlMi CAXVAsK. Editor Oouxalew, of ' The Columbia .
