Show Demo Chairman Asks For Contributions Paul M. Butler, Democratic National Chairman, addressed this appeal to fellow Democrats: "We are behind on rent and printing bills and we are meeting meet-ing our. payroll on a week to week basis." The plea came in a letter addressed ad-dressed in the Democratic Digest, Di-gest, a party magazine. A week ago Butler advised the state organizations behind in their quota payments to the National Na-tional Committee that they will be penalized in housing and seating at the party's 1960 convention con-vention if they did not pay up. The latest plea says the committee's com-mittee's receipts this year have been the greatest ever for a non-presidential non-presidential year, but it is diverting di-verting nearly one third of its income to pay old debts. The chairman asked more Democrats to join the party's sustaining membership drive as well as already paying members to increase their contributions by a few dollars each. . |
