Editor National Tribune: 1 inclose
herewith Circular No. 3, issued from
these headquarters, as well as 10 rea-
sons why Los Angeles should be given
the National Encampment next year.
We earnestly invite all the comrades to
come to the Pacific and be with us next
year, this time to Los Angeles, which
| lies some 500 miles south of San Fran
cisco. What the comrades can do is
| fully set forth in the inclosed circular.
There is perhaps no better place in
the whole world for comrades than is
Los Angeles We have a Veterans AS
sociation there which has met annually
for more than % years, and some 900
have registered as present at the En-
/ campment held there from the 18th to
9th of August past.
| Here we have the largest Post west
| of the Mississippi, and every little town
and hamlet is filled with youthful vet
Grams. Every State is here represent
ed, and if the Encampment decides to
visit us L feel assured that the COM
rades will go home smiling and pleased
that they came.
| SO far we have learned of but bne
other State that will ask for the En-
campment for next year. and aS that
same State had the Encampment in
1907 it would seem to be entirely too
soon to ask for it again at this time.
There is no question about the city
of Los Angeles being able to entertain
and care for large assemblies. ard the
many attractive places near by and of
easy access will insure. the comrades
new things every day, even if they
should remain in California month or
more.
So, comrades, come to California in
1911, and see the great progress made
here and enjoy the climate for just as
long as you can. Yours in T., C. and L.
E. L. Hawk, Department Commander.
