Five hundred prominent business men of Po.-tland are personally pledged to see the campaign through ana lor tour days Portland is to be the scene of the most cyclonic of all whirlwind cam paigns that have ever been organised in this city. The "mobilization" of the forces in the membership campaign at the Com' merclal Club dining-room yesterday to receive preparatory instructions for their work, gave an excellent lmiica' lion of the widespread enthusiasm that the new Chamber has already aroused among the business men of the city. Many of the workers who are to par ticipate in the membership campaign were not themselves members of the commercial organizations of the city before the consolidation movement was commenced, but among them one could eee the same eager zeal that was mani fested by the members who have been allied with the organization for years. Crowd of Worker Larsest. "This Is the largest turnout for the preliminary meeting to a membership campaign that I have seen in any of the cities in which I have worked," de clared H. V. Chase, who is handling the consolidation campaign. "The biggest crowd that 1 ever saw before on a simi lar occasion was 230 committeemen." There were more than 300 volunteers on the membership committee present at the luncheon and nearly every chair at the tables was occupied. "X believe because of the zeal that is shown that Portland will set a record tomorrow in the number of member ships that will tie brought in," said JIr. Chase. "Spokane set a record last .pril, with a total of 1525 on the tirst day. I believe that Portland's commit tee will report between 16U0 and 2000 new members by this time tomorrow. SZS.OOO Kipeeled by Kridny. "Bv Friday night I believe that we will be able to report $23,000 in new memberships to the Chamber of Com merce, for Portland Is going after the work as no other city ever has be fore." Mr. Chase swiftly outlined the plans for the campaign. Chairmen of each committee are charged with seeing that their work ers are on hand this morning at 9:45 o'clock to receive their assignments for the day. Names of 7000 individuals, corpora tions and firms have been listed and in dexed according to the districts in which they are situated. Kach committeeman will receive a card bearing the list of those on whom he is to call in the fir-t day's campaign. Within a few minutes after the gath ering in the green room of the club today 500 men will pour out into the business districts of the city, each one definitely assigned to get the member ship of a particular man or men and until 12:15 o'clock tne districts set aside for the first day wtll be "combed with a fine-toothed comb." Lanchcoa Reports to Re Made. The commiteemen will reassemble in the dlntng-room of the club at 12:15 o'clock for luncheon, which is given by the club, and will turn In through their chairmen reports of the day's work. Each day during the campaign the treneral assembly for assignment and for luncheon will be held. A blackboard has been set up In the main dining room on which the progress of the campaign will be noted from day to iay. Kvery one of the 7000 listed for prospective membership will receive to day a letter announcing that the cam paign is on and that the membership tub-committee will visit them. As the plan was unfolded to the workers their enthusiasm seemed to gather power, as the realization of the flawless perfection and comprehensive ness of the preparations came to them, and when Mr. Chase finished his out line the room roared with applause. C. C. Colt. J. Fred Larson, K. L. Thompson, chairman of the member ship committee, and C. C. Chapman, manager for five years over the pro motion department of the Commercial Club, made stirring speeches. Enthusiasm Vrlps Forces. "The enthusiasm that the business men are showing in this work today," said Mr. Chapman, "is a glorious ex ample of what men will do for their citv when the opportunity comes for them to do a man's work. This cam paign brings the individual members into action as never before, and their response today shows that they are ready to throw themselves without re serve into the work for the upbuilding: i.f the city. "In this newly-organized Chamber of Commerce you are getting the machin ery with which to do what all of you have been wishing you might do for Portland. "This camraisn of the next four daya Is going to demonstrate to the rest of the United States that Portland, even when things are quiet everywhere in the country, can rise up and break her own record as a substantial and pro Kressive city, and can draw together the energies of all of lier citizens to perfect the strongest commercial or ganization that exists anywhere in the U nited States." Fear Days I'tcdarrd to C'aane. The memberships that are taken by various firms and individuals, it was announced by K. 1 Thompson, repre sent their donations to the Rose Fes tival, the Chamber of Commerce, the Commercial Club and other organiza tions which they supported in the past, and which have now joined forces in the one great centrxlizcd body. The number of memberships to be asked from each firm Is based upon the esti mate of their support of former organi zations. Seventy-seven subcommittees of five or more members enter the campaign today, and in those committees are the following representative business men of Portland who have pledged four days of their time and effort to making th new chamber the blgcest organization of its kind on the Pacific Coast: Lawrence.
