cnairman or -tho republican central
committee of Oregon:
"On behalf of tho republicans ot
Union county, I desire to extend to
you and to the membem of tho
republican stato committed an. In
vitation to hold your coming stato
meeting in the city of La Grando. -
"I need hnrdly recall to your
attention, tho very successful con
gressional convention that was hold
hero over two years ago and if our
Invitation should be accepted, I can
guaranteo to you and your follow
members on tho committee just as
pleasant and sociable time, ns well
as being In a position to render to
you nil tho facilities necessary for
a successful business session.
"At this time,, when everything
In connection with the nomination
of a republican candidate Is taking
on tho unusual, It might be well
Id consider the unusual in regard
to tho meeting place, and get away
from tho overcharged political at
mosphere of Portland and vicinity.
Wo havo In. this community two
now and modern hotels with ample
accommodations to care for tho
committeemen and their - friends,
nnd on6 of the largest auditoriums
In the noithwest. Incidentally tho
ley way runs the. length of the
structure.
Mr. Vedder built a movable
stair in tho rear of the- building
which can bo takciv o'ut to allow
all largo pieces of machinery that
may be required ip the future to
bo put on tho mechanical floor or
removed through the back door.
Tho orfleo floor has 14-foot
coved coiling and brick walls that
wcro designed to keep out cold In
the winter and heat In the sum
mer. Tho entlro side of tho building
Is lighted and ventilated with steel
sash of tho latest design. One of
the most attractive features of tho
exterior of the building Is the two
largo circular windows In front
with a rectangular rlo, of win
dows above the main entrance

Walla Lumber .company as well as
all of tho mnhognny woodwork and
Interior finish.

La Grande Iron Works- and two

Electric Service Co. and n large
sign running across the lop brick
committeemen would bo free of the
hundreds of political wire-puUera
who would be continually harass-'
Ing and haranguing the commit
teemen in favor of their candidate
for nomination. . If, In your Judg
ment, La Grande does not seem to
be a suitable place for the com
mittee to meet, Pendleton and
Baker aro modern cities with ac
commodations suitable to entertain
the committee, and I am sure,
would put forth their best efforts
to properly entertain the commit
tee and their friends.
"La Grande is located, as you
know, on tho main line of the Un
ion Pacific railroad, with amplo
and convenient .train service. We
aro also located on the Old Oregon'
Trail highway fed by The Dalles
California and John Day highway-
all excellent roads. And in view
of the fnct that most, if not all, of
the committeemen-are owners of
automobiles, we do not feci hat
distances are worthy of any con
siderable consideration."
