Governor of New Jersey, before leaving the city Friday night for Seattle, addressed a letter to C B. Merrick, chairman of the Audi torium campaign committee, express ing the hope that Portland would be successful In building an auditorium. The communication reads: I hin been sreatlv Interested In what I have heard of tb plan for aa auditorium In Portland. From what I have observed In ether cities th. oatabllabment of a publlo auditorium provide, an Invatuabl. mesne of bringing th. mooI. Into touch with tbe best music and most stlmutattnaethought. It also con stitutes a civic rally.lng canter for large movements of every kind. I inrer.ly hop. tb. .rforta to get one for Portland will be successful. I am much Interested In the audi torium movement especially from a religious standpoint.- said Governor Wilson today. "Supposing Cardinal Gibbons should come to Portland and the Cathollra here desired to show htm unusual respect and consideration, that the people en masse could meet htm and see him and hear him, where could they take him? There la no place In the city. Tour Armory" would not bold even an ordinary number out of the multitude that might desire to see him. 'It would be so not only with Car dinal. Gibbons, but with any other prominent man. I understand that when Colonel Roosevelt waa here aome time ago that there wer more people turned away than those admitted to the Armory. Now to me that la un fortunate. The people become better cttlxens by listening to th speeches of men who give forth thought which doea good. So It Is that an auditorium In a large city has become a publlo necessity. If Portland expects to be come one of the great placea In the country It must begin right away. I am glad to hear that the people are favor of the auditorium for It Is to their personal advantage and well-being - The growth of the movement for an auditorium during th last 10 daya haa been marked. The plan haa been In dorsed by It organisations. At a re rent meeting the F.ast Side Business Men's Club approved the SeOO.000 bond Issue and the Manufacturers Assocla- ton haa appointed a committee to co operate with the auditorium cam paigners. TRe Montartlla Board of Trade will meet Monday night In the hall on Ilia avenue and Fast Seventy-sixth street to discuss the proposed audi torium. A epenker from th Com mercial Club will address the meet ing. K.
