Material Scarce.
Inability to secure a sufficient
quantity of various kinds of building
materials may result in a temporary
suspension' of construction opera
tions, according to a prominent local
dealer in these lines', who stated this
morning that the situation was realty
serious. There is a large amount or
building going on here at the pres
ent time and the demand for lumber,
lime, cement, brick, hardware, etc..
Is unprecedentedly large. Due to
similar conditions over the country
it is impossible, it seems, to get
hese materials In anything but
small shipments.

Th'ere are in attendance 140 miff
Isters and delegates. The synod is

dissenting vote. A, committee will
be appointed before the close of syn
od to co-operate with a similar com
mittee from the Js'orth Carolina Syn

The old method patented, perfected,
and perpetuated by tbe Republican
Party-was simplicity' Itself, In its re
sults! - It was tbe "touch" system. For
the Big Bosses Life lusurance and
Railroad companies, Steel. OU and kin
dred corporations $50,000 was a -fair"

They knew why tbey ''gave up" and
how to "get It back" Tbe Chiefs of
tbe "touchees" made up the Invisible
Government of the United States.
That same Old Gang as surely con
trolled this year's Republican Conven
tion as It did tbe Infamous Republican
Convention four years ago and Is
backing Mr. Hughes to restore them
to power.
The Democratic Way.
Ninety thousand Individuals contrib
uted to the Democratic campaign fund
four years ago. The number will be
far greater tbis year. This Is as it
should be. This is tbe DEMOCRATIC
way. The people are supposed to
rule in a democracy.,1 The people
should pay campaign expenses. , Tula
campaign especially ta a fight between
individual Interests and Tba Interests.
Democracy itself is at stake and the
welfare of our Republic is the dssue.
This Democrutic campaign sbould not
be financed by ninety thousand bat
by ninety hundred thousand.
There Is only one drawback to tbe
Democratic plan it Involves much
work. That work is being done by the
Finance Department of tbe National
Democratic Committee, tbe largest or
ganization of good Americans ever
formed to finance a good cause.
At tbe top of that organization Is a
General Finance Committee beaded
by Mr. Henry Morgehtbau. Next
comes a State Finance Committee In
every state in tbe Union. Then come,
the Local Finance Committees. The
bulk of the work falls uioii them, but
with over 0.000 local committees al
ready organized, tbe burden will be
distributed. '
The succexs of the plan depends on
tbe perseverance of the men of tbe
local organizations. It Is squarely ap
to them tb see that this all important
people's campaign is conducted with
the people's money. Every citizen of
America who believes in the demo
cratic legislation of this democratic
President has now au opportunity to
make tangible proof of bis gratitude
to tbe man who has guided the nation
along safe. sane, count nicjlre lines.
Opportunity U not going to knock
lons.eltber. DO IT TODAY. The time
is short, much work remains to be done.
Tbe Democratic National Committee
has no Bloated Bondholders' bank roll
behind It nor wants It. But It does re-quire-
the Immediate response ot every
American who believes In the role of
the eople, for tbe people, by tbe peo
ple, and who In againot the return to
