The following statement was given
out this morning to the Democrat by
Mrs. R. E. Mason:
Wednesday afternoon at the Li-
rary The Finance Promotion Com
mittee with their captains and aides
let to arrange for a Campaign to
create a permanent fund flowing in
to the treasury of the Linn County
Red Cross Chapter, month by month.
Saturday, the Chapter was advised
that from now on we must tend 13
boxes of gauli dressings a month,
which is four times what w have
been sending; also the same amount
of hospital supplies.
Think of the expense and the cost
of all these materials which we are
asked to make.
Th Finance Promotion Committee
has "sat up nights" thinking and de
vising ways and means to make mon
ey for the treasury of the Red Croat
The picture shows are very gener
ous to us here, as they are in other
cities. We have given a few dances
which were profitable; The Red
Cross store has been a huge success
earning way over $300.00 per month,
now. And our auxiliaries and branch-
who are trying in every way to
nelp to earn money to support them-
iKcs, and vet with all this, and with
the aid of the money received from
feeding the drafted men, it all is not
near enough. We must be assured of
more, to le and make ready for the
t-reat need now and that it coming to
us toon.
The committee consisting of Dr. G
H. Young, Pres., Mrs. J. J. Lindgren
as chairman, Mrs. Chas. Wieder and
Mrs. R. E. Mason have divided the
ity into precincts and appointed
captain for each precinct. The object
of the campaign will be to secure
It-finite sum, which will be paid into
the chapter treasury for the year or
Juration of the war.
The fund thus created will be per
manent and will not be exhausted at
intervals and necessitating repeated
lrives; the amount to be used for civ-
lian relief work and purchasing Red
Cross materials and supplies. "It is
up to you." "Get the Red Cross spir-
it!"
From Government figures just re
ceived, we find that for every dollar
that haa been or possibly will be spent
by the United States, England has ex
pended seven and France between five
and six. The work of the Red Cross
s the largest factor in the successful
termination of the war against Prus-
sianiam and Germany has already paid
more than four dollars to one for the
United States in arms, food and am
munition. It it limply a matter of
patriotism on the part of the people
no one being expected to give beyond
his ability, although all are expected
to give up some luxury or to make
some sacrifice.
Each Captain will have a large card
and the solicitors in ench block will
have small ones, on which to take the
monthly pledges of each individual
The collections when made, will be
credited to each individual card, the
nmounts transferred with the names
on each captain's card, and in thia
manner the entire city can be easily
and quickly covered. It simply means
that every Red Crost Auxiliary will
have to get on its "working duds" and
get a hustle on I For the chnpter sim
ply must have the money to keep up
its splendid record of great achieve
ment. The Auxiliaries have nlway

will be up to Albany and communi

From a little one-room the organiza

occupies very room on the top floor
of the First National bank building.
Come up any day and go through the
rooms and see the immense amount
of work that is being done and the
many faithful women and men, who
make up these needed articles; and
all other auxiliaries are doing as much
in proportion. For those who are un
informed, we would like to. say that
not one cent of this money is paid to
any person in the chapter, every cent
of it going into the material. We
have an enviable reputation among
many chapters on the coast. Let's
keep up such well-earned reputation.
So don't be a laggard, a quitter, or
a slacker, but begin right now to get
into the Red Cross mood and do you
part! The cards and campaign will
be at your door on Thursday. The
pledges beginning April 1st.

MILWAUKEE. April 3 (U. P.)
Wisconsin voted favoring the war. Re
turns from more than half of the state
how that Victor Berger, socialist and
peace candidate, was decisively defeat
ed in yesterday's senatorial election.
Irvine Lenroot, republican, is lead
ing Joseph Davies, democrat, and is
probably elected.
MILWAUKEE, April 3. Later.
With approximately 80 per cent of
the votes tabulated, Lenroot it leading
Davies by about 6,000. Berger is 41,-
000 behind Lenroot. Davies is mak
ing slight gains but the remaining
counties are considered Lenroot terri
tory.
Davies refuses to concede Lenroot 's
election, saying that the complete Mil
waukee returns give Davies a margin
ffsetting Lenroot 's lead in the out-
ide counties. Lenroot claims a 20,
000 plurality.

Saturday noon. There teems to be
tome misunderstanaing aooui uie
matter and the committee haa issued
the following statement in explana
tion: "Some are asking about th object
of the big 60-cent dinner and program
for Saturday, the 6th. The primary
reason is to get some enthusiasm for
the next week's work and put th bus
iness over in one week instead of four
weeks.
Judge McCamant and Father Kane,
two of the greatest speaker in our
strict, have undertaken the enthus
iasm part. The other reason is to se
cure funds for incidental expenses of
the campaign, such as stenographer,
advertising, etc. This money will be
turned over to and paid out by Sena
tor Cusiek. Some districts hav din
ners, others solicit funds, contribu
tions. Committees, autot, all are
volunteer. Not a cent paid out for
ny of this. Whatever is left of this
fund after all expenses are paid will
be turned over to the Red Cross.
