Plan in Pursuance of Popular Sub
scription Idea McAdoo Requests
Agreement to Forward Cash When
Desired Wilson Sends Letter.
The banks throughout the coun
try are to be nsked by the Democratic
national committee to receive and
transmit to their proper source sub
scriptions to the campaign funds not
only foi the Democratic, but for the
Republican and Progressive parties.
The plan is in pursuance of the com
tnittec's ) i pillar subscription Idea. Ac
rordtngly Chairman McAdoo made it
plain in giving out a stateme nt cm
bodying a letter which he announced
he had sent to every bank and trust
compaa) in the United states request
Ing them to aeree to receive and trans
mit subscriptions to each of the three
national jarties. He accompanied his
litter t" the banks with a letter from
Qov rnor Wood row Wilson, who de
clared that "to bring about the elec
tion of a president through a cam
paigti financed by popular subscrip
tions would bo a distinct and gratify
ing triumph."
In his letter Mr. McAdoo expressed
the idea that the popular subscription
movement was directly in the line- of
freeing the presidential campaigns
"from the suspicion of sinister Influ
ences" and dec-land that the Demo
cratic party favored the "financing of
presidential campaigns by the people
themselves."
He nrged the need of convenient and
responsible agencies for the receipt
Of subscriptions and asked the banks
ar.d tiust companies to perform "the
same patriotic service" that the news
papers thready had undertaken.
"Will you agree to receive and trans
mit subscriptions to the Democratic
national committee, the' Republican
and Progressive national c ommittee's?''
tl'e letter continued.
"Speaking for the Democratic na
tional committee, I would not ask you
to act for one unless for all. This must
he a patriotic service to the public- and
not to ny one party. Each day a list
of the binks agreeing to act will be
given tc the press."
