NEW YORK, January 18.— The radio appeal of Alfred E. Smith for contributions to wipe out the $1,500,000 deficit of the Democratic party has brought an avalanche of checks and pledges of funds. Hundreds of letters, accompanied by checks ranging from $5 to $100, and telegrams promising checks to follow by mail, have been received by Mr. Smith, John J. Raskob, national chairman, and James W. Gerard, treasurer of the na- tional committee. A request for 100 copies of the book was received from Mayor Otto Bern- stein of Monroe, La., who telegraphed: “I ebligate myself to take 100 copies of your speeches during your great ef- fort to perpetuate the Democratic party. I think what you are doing is the great- est effort on the part of one man our common country has evet witnessed.” A telegram from Mrs. A. L. Love of Ottumwa, Iowa, read: “My compliments — Matthew 5, 11 and 12" * ‘The scriptural verses referred to read: “Blessed are ye when men shall re- vile you and persecute you and shall say all manner of evil things against you falsely, for My sake. “Rejoice and be exceeding glad, for great is your reward in heaven: for so they persecuted the prophets that were before you.” Owns Gold-Bearing Fowl. ‘WILMINGTON, N.
