DEMOCRATS RESPONDING TO CAXPAIGK FUKD. More Money Needed? i Contribute Now If at AH ? Too Late to Its Good Af t* Campaign Closes. Although a number of donations have bees received for tbe Democrat ic Campaign funds. County, District and National, and a larger number of promises, it is well to state that the fund la not growing as fast as the necessities for It are, and thatwhat money that la to do much good will have to be contributed within the net two weeks as it Is less than three weeks to the election. It Is to be hoped tliat every Democrat will con tribute something, and all those who will are urged to maii their check to Mr. E. H. Mai one, Chairman, or A t P. Johnson, Secretary, Loulsburg, N. C. At ooce. Oov. Cox has a splendid cbance to be elected Preeldent If the campaign Is made Intensive enough and the on ly thing to hinder that will be the lack of funds. Send yours In at once. In announcing the contributors last week an error Was made In the am ount contributed by Mr. F. B. Mc Kinne. It should have read $100.00 Instead of $110.00 which goes to all funds. ? s "j The following contributions have been received the past week: . . . R. H. Davis .... ? *50.00 W. H. Ruffin 10.00 Mrs. D.

At a recent meeting of the Demo cratic Executive Committee of Frank lin County, a resolution was adopted, giving to the women of our party equal representation on our Town-i ship Executive Committees, which means that-*trey are te^-? have equal [representation op our County Exec utlVu'lummitte^. At the next Town t ship or Precinct Meetings the d.emo l^rnHr wnm^n will hn i-i. ed to. participate, in the electioii of all ipf-our. offluyia in the party organiza tions. We welcome our women Intc the councils of the -party afatl urge up i on them to come la under fee folds ~ol -rthat-* Glorious Standurd of Demucra C$v which Standard has guaranteed to the white women of North Carolina ttje safety and sanctity of their hom ies since the days of Ku Klux Clan. iThe wiadom of the ratification uf the [Suffrage amendment is no longer de batable, Woman Suffrage is a fact ac complished and whether we were for lor against it in the past, the only [course now left open tp^tis is to use it 'as an agency for the elevation of our citizenship. The strong arm of the law and of the Democratic* "P?rty .will j-be thrown around our ballot boxes and any lady can participate in our elections and primaries without fear of insult or rowdyism of any kind. The White Women of North Caro lina owe no greater debt of gratitude to any man than to Hon. Cameron Morrison, who by his fearless cham pionship of White Supremacy in the dark days of 1896 and 1898 freed the State of Republican misrule, and help ed to make of North Carolina the Grand Old State that she Is today. We know that the elimination of the negro from politics was the best thing for the negro, but all of us know that the election of a Republi can administration in North Carolina would mean the re-entry of the ne gro In politics so that every woman who can register and does not will be striking a. blow at democracy by wea kening the Btrength of the party that much. The present Indications are that the Republican Party will use every effort to register and vote the republican women, republican wom en who know nothing of what our womea of the East were subjected to bfcck in those days of 1896 and 1808, and It thwefore becomes not only a privilege but a sacred duty for our men and women to put aside their ti midity and prejudice and rally to the Your duty to your State and Coun ty In this case is no greater than your support of the Democratic Party, duty to the Nation and the World, for this year will be decided whether or not the United States of America shall take her rightful place of lead ership in the League of Nations or remain with the 6utcasts of civiliza tion. A vote for the Democratic Party will be a vote for the League of Nations and a vindication of the punciplp for which our soldiers and of France. A vote for the Kepubll nan Party or a rafiml Ui Tnti) alii fr? ...... i. .1 ?? ? ..pnill.Unn nf th^j|f| principles . No finer tribute could p"IH "? mnra fasting monu ment could be erected to the mem ory of those boys who served and di ed in France than to cast a ballot for the entry of America in the League of Nations and no more glorious her itage could be handed down to pos terity.
