We are entitled to this. Our delegation in Congress can be depended upon to go down tho line, but the facts must be presented to the uninformed. Urge the people of your town and vi cinity to write letters to any member of Congress with whom they may be acquainted asking their support of the measure. The personal letter is the host argument. Monday, July 31, has been designated as letter writing day and we hope you will get in line and do your part. We are enclosing a copy o f the amendment, a state ment of facts and some form letters that may be used. Time is an important feature just now, so have your people act promptly.
