Democrats of Georgia Urged to Contribute to Party Campaign Fund

The Democratic national committee has sent out an urgent appeal to Georgia Democrats for contributions to the Cox and Roosevelt campaign fund. In a telegram received today, Wilbur W. Marsh, treasurer of the Democratic national committee, asked The Journal to conduct a campaign in Georgia for contributions, and The Journal is glad to comply with Treasurer Marsh's request. All contributions sent to The Journal will be promptly forwarded to the Democratic treasurer and used in the prosecution of the campaign for the election of Cox and Roosevelt in November.

"We are depending on the help of the Democratic masses," wires Treasurer Marsh, "to combat the opposition of millions. Cox and Roosevelt supporters are urged to make contributions right away."

Governor Cox has charged that the Republicans are raising a fund of at least $15,000,000 to put over Harding and Coolidge. The Democrats do not want $15,000,000 or anything like this amount, but a legitimate fund is absolutely necessary for the successful prosecution of the Democratic campaign.

Now is the time for all good Democrats to come to the aid of the party. Let Georgia show its Democracy by raising a big sum. Send in your contribution. It will be promptly acknowledged and promptly forwarded to the Democratic treasurer.
