Dear Sir: At meeting of the trus-
tees of the Mckinley National Mem
orial association held in Cleveland, o.,
l was requested to appoint a territor-
ial auxiliary committee, who will meet
and elect their chairman, secretary
and treasurer for the purpose Of col
lecting subscriptions in aid of erecting
a suitable monument at Canton, O., in
memory of our late beloved president,
William Mckinley. This auxiliary COM
mittee after election of their officers
will appoint local committees through
out the different counties and cities In
the territory, who will report to them.
I inclose herein a copy Of the territorial
auxiliary committee for New Mexico
and as you have been named MEM
ber of said committee, would request
that you aid in organization as soon as
possible by the election Of your officers
for the purpose of securing the sub
scriptions as rapidly as possible.
Printed instructions will be sent me
very shortly and will forward to each
member of the committee a copy of
same. 1 will also have sent you large
cards stating contributions received
here" These can be placed by you In
the different banks and stores through
out the territory, whom you authorize
to receive subscriptions. A souvenir
certificate will in due time be present.
ed by the trustees Of the National
Memorial association to each individ-
ual contributor; each name is to be re-
corded and should be plainly written
on subscription list. The above to be
used when the subscription form es-
pecially prepared for New Mexico will
be sent you. This committee will have
supervision of the work in New Mexf-
co, and each local committee is to act
under the authority of and report to
the territorial auxiliary committee. I
would suggest that the state office be
put in charge Of secretary who will
have the necessary time to conduct the
correspondence and supervise the
work. The hearty cooperation Of the
newspapers throughout New Mexico
should be invited to render. what as
sistance they can in this work. would
also suggest that personal letters be
written to friends and acquaintance
in New Mexico by the different mem
bers Of the auxiliary committee, and
also that they write to the different
county school superintendents and to
the principals of the different schools
in the cities asking them to designate
day for the children to make their
contributions. This plan is being car
ried on throughout the United States;
for instance, Thanksgiving day would
be an appropriate time to receive the
offerings from the school children who
desire to subscribe. Letters might al
SO be written to the different territor-
| ial institutions and to religious, benev-
olent, patriotic, and other societies re-
questing them to circulate subscrip-
tion forms among their associates,
employees, members, neighbors. etc.
The public, parochial and other
schools and colleges should be given
special attention. 1t Is desired sthat
there be numerically large Offering,
not alone from men and women, but
from the children, the boys and girls,
young men and women in the schools
and colleges. Kindly let me hear from
you regarding any suggestions you
may have to make. Very respectfully,
M. A. OTERO,
Honorary Member of Association.
