CITY IS AWAKENED
Tom Richardson Takes Boom
Methods to Baltimore.
PORTLAND'S WAY IS CITED
Staid City of Sooth Plana Vigorous
Campaign to Annex Trad Ter
ritory Rock of Conserva
tism. Is Shaken.
Tom Richardson la holding what tie
ea:i "commercial evangelistic meetings"
in Baltimore. Ha started two wk ago
to raise 3OO.0OO for the Greater Baltimore
committee. H!a methods are new to
Baltimore people. Never have they had
uca a revival. For a century Balti
more has been regarded as the rock of
conservatism Business was conducted
alone old and Maid lines. Tbe first thins
Richardson did when be landed was to
refer to the town as having; "cobble
stones." He sura-eated that the way to
Iret rid of "cobblestones" was to 'loot
your own horn." He urired the staid
bankers who had never attended a "live
wire" meeting- to make a noise." It
was something decidedly new. and so
runnv to them ft felt a-ood. Then when
Richardson added: "Blow your whistles
and let the world know your living." It
was such an eye-opener that the bankers
began to sit op and take notice. The
result Is that the Portland professional
"booster" Is beginning to eve a good
prospect of raising the COO.0CO for adver
tising the city's resources.
Portland's Example Cited.
While Mr. Richardson was doing all
this he stopped long enough to give the
citizens some Idea of what to being ac
complished In Portland, for he told them;
We have tremendous shops In Ore
gon; some of them occupy an entire
city square: and time after time they
give their great windows to be filled with
'Made In Oregon Goods.' Occasionally
these windows are BUed with the great
apple for which my state Is famous. Iu
you know anything about Portland! Do
you know tbat we have nine months of
roses- that we have the most glorious
sunshine In the world; that we never
have a hot night; and that the water
Is clear as crystal and as cool as any
one could desire. Every Oregonlan love
his state. And our children are as en
thusiastic as are the grown persons. If
you ask a little girl or boy If he loves
Portland he answers fervently. Thank
God I do.' Patriotism Ws a religion
with us."
As a result of his appearance before
civic organizations be has been occupying
the chief attention of the leading dally
newspapers of Baltimore. He has ap
peared in one of the cartoons, his picture
Is printed almost dally and much wpace
Is given to his methods) aa an Industrial

duced by Mr. Richardson was the an
nouncement tnat ns wouia nnir "'
distance telephone address to the lead
ing merchant In all the cities and towns
that surround Baltimore, ai c
ported that owing td pressure of business
they could not go to Baltimore to take
n interest In the work and Mr. Richard
son proposed that he get their ear by
means of the long-distance wire, all at
the same time.
Campaign Is Outlined.
All thta la tbe result of a getting-to-gether
a few weeks ago of several lead
ing dtlxens of Baltimore, who decided
that Baltimore was not forging ahead as
rapidly as Its dormant possibilities ought
to Justify. They sent for Tom Richard
son to prescribe a boom campaign for
them, and he arrived there two week
ago to begin a campaign for a big fund
with which to develop the trade territory
to the south which Baltimore regards as
It natural tributary. He has outlined
the following order for the Greater Balti
more committee:
That the membsrs of the executive com
mute be made chairman of each subcom-
mlOTthly payment of aubacrlptlons. payable
at option of ubscrlbr.
