ter, has sent out the following let
tier to al me-rbers of the post. ask
ing their cooperation in hopping up
on the membership activities for this
year:
Casper. Wyoming.
June %. 1891.
y~Dear DICTIONARIES:
.The fulniiment Of our late com.
I mander's dying request should be
doubly easy in Casper. The local post
at present numbers $40 members.
while our prospective membership is
between 1900 and 1.40o. The great
difficulty lies In the fact that such a
large proportion of the e~x-service men
and women in Casper and its vicinity
are but recent residents of Wyoming,
and for this reason are not CONVEX
SAINT with the work. achievements
and policies of the local post.
The legion is O, rational. rather
than a local. Organization. To help
ourselves. we must heip our buddies.
Every ex-service man woman
should be a ~legionnaire. every Ie-
.gionnaire should Identify himself
with his nearest post. otherwise his
Voice and influence is lost to the or
ganization.
THE local post is proud of its rec
ord. but 10 attain trs influence and
power which it needs in order to rem
der its fullest service, it is necessary
that its membership approach its po-I
tentiai strength not only in numbers
but IN personal interest as we'll.
The reason for this plea at this
time is that the legion state conven-
ton commences at ThermopoIis Au-
gust 2.eThe Casper post desires to be
represented by the largest delegation.
as wen as the most influential. In
~c-ccr to do this 1t is necessary that
sur membership be brought up to its
maximum strength by Friday, July 1.
Remember that the strength OF
> our organization depends largely upon
our members. AS individuals we are
like voice crying in the wilderness.
as an organization numbering mil
lions we are a power that the world
win heed.
THE legion is the most democratic
organization in existence. The pol
icies and ideals OF the organization
exactly represent the majority OF
those active in its work. II you do
not approve of the present policies
of the legion. get your friends to
Join. attend the meetings and change
those policies. II you do approve and
sponsor q activities of the post as
at present conducted. put your shout
der to the wheel n sign your buddy
now.
Faithfully yours.
CLOVIS A. PORTER.
