AN APPEAL

October 12, 1914. To the Republicans of Indiana: The country needs today as sh« never needed before, a reunited, militant, victorious republican party. What the country needs it is the duty of every man to give, regardlass of personal influences, past party affiliations, anger, pique, resentment, ambition or sacrifice. To fully realize the immeasurable present need for the success of the republican party we need but look about us, analyze our own situation, or ask any wage earner, manufacturer, fanner—any man hi any section or in any walk of life. To the republican party now, as in the past, the country will turn for deliverance. To make the victory certain it is onr duty to wage a t vigorous campaign. To do this, as everyone knows, requires a certain amount of expense, which, by reason of the size of the state, is necessarily large. This is especially true for the balance of the campaign, by reason of the heavy expense of our speakers, meetings and postage. To provide the money for the necessary expense we have to depend solely upon voluntary contributions from individuals interested in the success Of the party and the consequent prosperity of the nation and good government of the state. To meet these financial requirements we appeal to all republicans, to all who are opposed to present conditions in state and nation, and we ask that they send to Frank D. Stalnaker, President of the Indiana National Bank, Indianapolis, and Treasurer of the Republican State Committee, such amounts as they can spare, assuring all contributors that even the smallest sum'will be welcomed most heartily—Republican State Central Committee.
