 People of Arizona
How Contributions May be Made to the Fund for the Erection of National Monument to the Late President.

Governor Murphy yesterday issued the following call to the people of Ari- zona:
 To the People of Arizona: It has been determined to erect and maintain at Canton, Ohio, a suitable memorial to William Mckinley. To this end the Mckinley National Memorial associa- tion has been formed; and a board of trustees representative of the whole country has been. named by the presi- dent of the United States, the governor of each state and territory being also a member. It is also proposed to erect in the city of Washington a beautiful arch as a memorial to the late presi- dent The two movements are in en- tire harmony. and subscriptions from Arizona will be divided between the fund for the Canton memorial and the Washington fund for a national me morial arch. For the latter fund, as well. I have been named vice president for Arizona It is the purpose to have the people voluntary, with a full op- portunity to all to contribute. A souvenir certificate which will be worthy of preservation as evidence of the holders participation in the work will be distributed to all donors.
 At my request MT. C. J. Hall, vice president of the Phoenix National bank, has kindly consented to act treasurer of the Arizona fund. All subscriptions sent to him will be promptly acknowledged. and the off, cers of the Mckinley National Memo rial association. and the Mckinley Ma tional Memorial Arch association will be notified of the identity and contri- button of each subscriber.
 Nowhere in the Union was William Mckinley more beloved than in Ari- zona. This is the last opportunity which we shall have to testify to our affection for our martyred president. I hope that the contributions to these sacred memorials to his memory will be liberal and prompt.
