How deep is your conviction that this government ought to be in new hands, in
clean hands ?
How much are you in favor of a clean slate from Wilson and Marshall clear down
the line to the very smallest offices in your locality?

gressive voter is willing to spend a dollar to elect Wilson and Marshall and their ticket.
And that thousands are anxious to contribute to the Wilson Campaign Kund in
amounts of $2, $5, $10 and $20.
To such we make our appeal. To such we must look for victory.

The enemy have their funds ? supplied instantly by
the Interests.
We have only a lew days and C"*tributions to be effec
tive must be received at once.
There is no question of the money of the People being
able to defeat the money of the Trusts.

Quick action is absolutely necessary. Let us have your
contribution or the list you make up from your friends and
CO-workers today if possible, tomorrow sure.
How Your Money Will Be Spent
Woodrow Wilson, <>ur standard bearer, has never bad
the time or disposition to talk about himself.
He has never used spectacular methods to place himself
in the spotlight.
His greatest work has been done without ostentation, in
the most expeditious, dignified manner.
The great mass of voters do not know what a really
great man Wilson is. They do not know all he has dune.
They do not understand all the features of his platform.
We must tell them.
To educate this great nation of voters, especially the
clear thinking Independent Democrats, Republicans and
Progressives who choose iheii leader on bis merits, means
the expenditure of a vast amount of money.
We propose to use your dollars in just this way ?
judiciously, and without a penny frittered away for an un
necessary item.
We know you have confidence we will do this thing?and
successfully.
Why the Dollar Counts
In this campaign the issues lie between the forces of
Representative Government and Popular Government.
In Representative Government only a part o( the people
have influence ? those with no political faith, who spend
fortunes in any direction where their own ends arc for
thcrcd for money.
In Popular Government all the people have influence,
because their executives and legislators do not d4re to
thwart the expressed will of the people.
Representative Government, as ever, this year is being
supported by the money of the Interests. Iiis being spent
lavishly to give the voters a wrong improoston of Wilson.
Popular Government, this year, to win, most depend on the
truth being told about Wilson. We must publish his record
and platform broadcast so that no one can controvert it.
Your $1, your 12, your &r>, your 110 or $'20 will count and
ount to win if socnt in this work.
