POPULAR SUBSCRIPTION FUND
FOR BRYAN'S OREGON CAMPAIGN
The Journal Will Begin at Once
Collection of Money for Fight in
This "State for Democratic Party
'J,
The Journal will begin at once the collection by popular sub-
ture and speaking in this state. Contributions will be accepted in
' laree or small amounts from any or all who wish to see the Bryan
and Kern side fairly and fully presented to voters in the pending
: presidential campaign. Preliminary to the plan, and -as a part jof
it, a special committee of five well-known citizens has been ap
pointed by Chairman Sweek, at the instance of The Journal, and it
1 will be by this committee that ail funds contributed will be receipted
for, accounted for and disbursed. The committee, though inde
pendent of, is in perfect harmony with the existing Democratic
camoaien committees, and comprises the following persons: Jef
ferson Mvers, J. N. Teal and C. S. Jackson, Portland; State Senator William Jennings Bryan, Democrat!
C. J. Smith, Pendleton, and W. M. Kiser, Salem. All members of Candidate for President,
the committee hve consented to act except Mr. Teal, who is tem
porarily in San Francisco, but is expected to accept the place on the committee upon his return.
The personnel of the committee will be a sufficient guarantee to those who contribute that such
contributions as are made will be wisely, economically and faithfully expended. The desire to give
a fair hearing to the people of all sides of the pending issues,, and let them choose according to the
'dictates of their own consciences, is the occasion for the movement; the fact that the national Demo
cratic committee has but limited means and cannot send funds to Oregon is the necessity.
Remittances should be addressed Bryan Fund, care Journal, Portland, Or., and should be made
payable to The Journal. Receipts will be issued, books will be kept that will at all times be open to
the inspection of any -contributor, and before the election a report of the disbursements will be pub
lished,', ; -

who is talking today of the president's

cabinet officer does not like Hitchcock.
He says the president s word led to
the appointment of Senator Crane of

Hitchcock is the youngest man that has

over the smothering of the bank deposit

Governor Sheldon today notified the con

The governor says in his statement
that he deserves defeat if the public is

Governor Sheldon wafted to resign
