To the President and Members Of the
T. p. A. of A:
Dallns, Texas, October 22.It af
fords me pleasure in Making my re-
port to your honorable body to say that the
press of Texas has given space to every
item of news pertaining to the Travellers
Protective Association that has been offer
ed. In fact, the leading daily papers of the
State have made an especial effort, and at
great expense to the managers Of said pa
pers to obtain news pertaining to our asso-
citation. They have also published local
items of news pertaining to members OF
the Travellers Protective Association that
not only aided the travellers in their busi-
ness, but attracted attention to individ-
uals who were making especial efforts In
behalf of their firms, thereby making them
better known, so that introductions when
calling on the trade were scarcely neces-
sary. Not only have the daily, Sunday,
semi weekly and weekly papers published
everything Of interest to the TraveleIs
Protective Association. but they are anx-
ious to publish all legitimate news oh.
tainable.
In addition to the above, the leading pa
pers have devoted editorial space in adj
vocacy OF the measures proposed by our
association, and ! might say that we have
the Endorsement and good Will OF all In
our efforts to obtain relief that we seek
an in the betterment Of our organization.
All communications from our president and
chairmen of committees nave been pub
lished in full and given prominent position.
~ Co, Avaff In Eyn nd ntl
Post continue to publish page of T. p.
A. matter in their Sunday issues. which is
a great aid to our association, and to whom
we are especially Indebted, as these pages
have cost the publishers hundreds Of dol
lars.
/ have made an especial effort through
the press to obtain improvements in the
sanitary condition Of hotels, as well as to
obtain 25-cent round trip bus fare in all
the small towns. President Deckmann
seeing the efforts to get the 25-cent round
trip bus fare, appointed special livery
stable and transfer committee. thereby
lending his Endorsement and efforts in the
matter.
/ made an especial request OF the chair
man OF each committee that they give me
a communication giving information for
publication, showing what the committees
had accomplished, or what they desired to
accomplish, and offered the aid of the press
in their demands. received replies from
only two. the chairman of the relief COM
mittee and the chairman of the railroad
committee.
The press committee are using every en-
Geayor to further the interests OF the asso-
citation. and II We can have the co-opera-
tion of other committees, IN conjunction
with the president and board OF directors,
promise that great deal will be accom-
plished through the press that has hereto
fore laid dormant. / would especially re-
quest all members to send in any and all
news, OF reliable nature. to me for publ
cation. and when requested, such items will
be sent to all daily papers, and whether re-
ouested or not, IL the writer deems OF suffi-
cient Importance. will send TO all papers
for publication on same date OF issue.
