The McE,lroy Campaign Committee,
Washington, D. c., April Il, 1910.
Comrades: The call for the resolu-
tions indorsing Comrade John McElroy
by Posts some weeks ago, but never
forwarded to these headquarters, re-
suited lin a large surprise. Endorsements
that were made last December and dur
ing January are now being numerously
received. The committee is grateful for
the instant response, but personal in
dorsements from members of Posts
thruout the country lead the committee
to believe that there are a number of
Posts that have not forwarded them to
this committee. 1t is the desire of the
committee to preserve a perfect record
of all Endorsements of the candidacy of
Comrade McElroy for Commander-in-
Chief, so kindly forward these at your
earliest convenience.
Assurances have been received of the
support of the delegations from Geor-
gia, Louisiana, Mississippi, Florida, Tex
as and Arizona. The Department of
Maryland has unanimously recorded its
choice for McElroy, while the votes in
| the House of Lords" already proffered
show a gratifying unanimty of feeling
for the candidate of the Department Of
| the Potomac.
For all of which I thank you IN the
name of the McElroy Campaign Com
mittee. Your in T., C. and Edwin
II. Holbrook, Chairman.
