To The People of Indiana:
! 1T is not my intention to discuss the
incidents leading up to the great con-
! fiict in which our government is en-
gagged. The things that we hold most
dear as a people are at stake Our gov
ernment has spoken and our brave boys
have gone forth in answer to their coun-
trys call; our citizens in all walks Of
life have responded heroically to the
many duties incident to the war;
Now. therefore. I Edgar D. Bush,

cities and the president Of the boards OF
all Incorporated towns to make public

zens may embrace this opportunity of
serving our common country.
| Il suggest that every church in Indi-
ana hold patriotic meetings; that each
church bell again becomes a Liberty
Bell that they sound forth not only the
call to patriotic service, but the death
knell of tyranny. Ministers of ali de-
nominations are urged to impress upon
their congre cations the necessity of get
ting behind our braye boys at the front,
I backing them with their last dollar,
THE government of the United
States is now engaged in floating the
second Liberty Loan of five billion dol
lars. Indiana has been asked to 10 her
4 share and her people will remain true
to their traditions.
Let every minister proclaim from
the pulpit on this patriotic day that it
is the duty of every citizen to buy
| Liberty bond; that IN so doing he not
only secures the safest possible fnan-
cial investment. but bestows a lasting
benefit on his country and on humanity.
I'm Witness Whereof. have hereunto
set my hand and (SeaD caused 20 be
affixed the Great Seal of the State OF
Indiana. at the Capitol. in the city of
