The appeal for popular subscriptions
Sued by those who hnve In charge the
< mo.-rat:, i ttional campaign should
icet with a most general and liberal
I
required amount , Their dimes and
their dollar? are needed now.
By the nclton of the Baltimore con?
vention nnd by the position taken by ?
Governor Wilson, the party has voliin
-
support of corporations and great cor?
porate combinations. The nominee hlm
s-If will scrutinize the subscript., is
to the end of rejecting tlioj.e which j
bear the taint of selfish corporate In?
terests.
The Democratic party stand? firmly
against the corrupt use Of money in
th's campaign, but an immense sum
w'l! be needed to meet the rightful I
needs of the militant Democracy In I
those privotal States which will de- ?
clde this epoch-making contest. To .
raise that sum liy popular subscription
in every State ought hot to be a dilti
cull task. The Democratic party
po,? into the campaign with tho odds'
in its favdr. Is united and aci v. , j
1" cause It ha? nominated a man who
appeals to the great decisive hideperi-1
el.'r.t vote of the country. It IS draw j
ing toward itself the balance of power I
? ?
With the situation such as it Is, the)
Democrats of Virginia, whatever their!
faction or their past alignment In the
campaign for the nomination at Hal- :
tlmore, should give gladly to r> fund j
?which will put the Democratic partvl
into power and restore popular govern-|
mont. If any additional appeal !>.?>'?
'needed, let It he remembered that the.
nominee is a Virginian toward wli in) ]
tho people of the country expect Vlr-j
glniahs to do their duty.
Every Democrat, whatever hl? situ* I
at lor. or whatever his. means. Is re- |
quested to co-operate In this move-1
rh'erit. There will be no limit on the
amount of individual subscriptions, j
AVhatever any Democrat feels that ne I
is able to give will be gratefully ac- :
cepted. The Tlmes-DISpalch will be
glad to receive, acknowledge and
transmit to the proper authorities any j
? :. I all subscription? to tho Wilson
Marshall campaign fund?small or!
large. The number rather than the
amount of contributions signifies most.
Thes Individual clt'zen has a part to
play in this campaign, and this Is h<*
opportunity.
Other Slates are raising large popu
lnr subscription funds composed of
small individual contributions. North
Carolina',** ^Louisiana, South Carol 11 i
nnd Georgia, among the Southern
States, have passed the thousand dollar
mark. Can Virginia afford to la^ be?
hind? The Democrats of the Old bo

Second Regiment Is Ten Hours

[Special to The Tlnus-Pispateh.J
Ml. Gretna. I'a . July 25.?A wreck
on the road between Glasgow, Va.,
and Mt. Gretna. Pa., held up the Sec
end Virginia Regiment, making It ten
hours late In teaching camp. It was
a tired regiment of soldiers that got
Into Gretna at I o'cluek this after?
noon, and down the lines you could
tioar exclamations that carried out
tho statement that the men were tlreu
out and not at all pleased with the
delay. After a short test, however,
they seemed to lout the tired feeling,
and In a short time had camp in shape,
tents up and wore living with the ear?
ly arrivals.
The First Regiment, under Major
Price, reached camp at 'JiUO o'clock
this morning, having covered the dis?
tance from Richmond in good time.
There were but two snort holdovers
on the trip. The. trip of the First
was ideal, and the entire command
enjoyed it.
Major Price reports all well and In'
fine shape for the war manoeuvres
that are to follow In tn<: next ten
days.
Tie- camp of the Virginia troops is
located In a beautiful spot surround?
ed by wooded mountains, with the
pretty little .Lathe Conewago and
t'oncwago Hotel on the southwest and
a pretty park on the north.
On reaching camp this morning, tne
State soldiers started to work with
a vim that showed they intend te> get
the most of tho Instruction camp.
Ifr. akfast was serve-?, which consisted
mostly of beans, but seemed to serve
the purpose until the noonday meal,
which the cooks had more time to
prepare. They tilled up the mess pans
with fried eggs and bacon nnd coitee
was served black.
Cook A. I.. Moore got busy on the j
eggs and bacon and rescued Company;
