has uniformly been successful. The
committee voted unanimously to
adopt this plan. and also requested
the State Committee to have Mr..
Bilheimer spend as much of his time
in La Junta as possible until after
the close of the campaign. Ten sub
committees We're appointed to have
charge of the various details con-
nected with the preparations for
and the conduct of a campaign.
These committees will arrange for
meetings. issue printed matter, Sc
cure headquarters, list names for
solicitation, and secure the cooper
alton of large number of business
men. a large number of young men,
and committee of boys in the work
of solicitation.
They have decided that the cam
paign shall open on Sunday, Novem-
Der Sd, and shall close, win or lose,
on Thursday evening, November
l4th.
After careful consideration, the
committee decided also that they
will attempt to raise at least SAC, 900
for the purchase of site and the
erection of building. In view of
the cost of building materials and
the size of building that is needed,
they feel that this much money
should be secured if possible. Sub
scriptions will. however, be binding
whenever total of $25, 900 has been
pledged. To enable the man of
small means, as well as the giver of
iafEer amounts. to have apart in
this project. the committee voted
that the payments shall extend over
the period of one year. The first
call shall be for one fourth of the
amount pledged on February 20,
1908. and one-fourth each three
months thereafter until the total
has been paid.
There will be number of associa-
tion workers and speakers from
abroad present in the city on Sum
day. November Sd, occupying the
pulpits of various churches in the
town. and in the nearby country
districts. and there will probably be
banquet for the business and pro-
fessional men of the city on Mon
day night, November 4th, at which
time the campaign will be formally
launched. The committee desires to
explicitly state, however, that at no
public meetings at any time during
the campaign will subscriptions be
asked for or taken. Public meet
ings will be given entirely to in
spirational and educational addresses

This movement to secure a Young
