Chicago, Slay 29. Funds fr con
ducting the Democratic national cam
paign in 1920 will be raised by popular
subscription and it ia eipeeted that Con
tributions will be received from ir
500,000 persons. Wilbur W. Marsh, of
'.". tm of the Democratic Na
tio lal Committee, made this statement
today ia addressing the body on the
subject of party finances.
Mr. Marsh reviewed the financial
features of Democratic presidential
eampnigna from Samuel J. Tildrn to
Woodrow Wilson and contrasted the
methods used in raising money for
political purposes la the old days and
the present time.
"In the old days the Junior member
of a business concern would give s
little to the
Dcinccrate and the senior
member would give the big money to
the Republicshs," said Mr. Marsh. "The
object was to open up a channel to the
sest of government."
Methods of practical political work,
closer co-operation between the various
departments of the, party organization,
li ancing of : campaigns and womas's
work ia politic were the subjects con
sidered at today's sessions of the com
salttee. .
