Seven Reasons Listed by
Post Why Convention
Should go East
No post' In the state has been
more active in its efforts to secure
the convention for 1930 than has
Baker. Its activities date back a
year ago but its most Intense work
has been done during the spring
and early summer months.
Baker has not confined its ef
forts to oral requests for the con
vention but has taken to display
advertising to put its ideas across.
In the legionnaire paper for June
seven good reasons why Baker
should have the convention are
"outlined.
Astoria, which held one of the
early conventions, is expected also
to put in a bid for the meeting
while Newport is said to be an
other post angling for convention
honors.
Baker lists seven reasons why
it should have the conclave. Baker
wants it, can handle it, has a
sound financial program, has un
surpassed August climate, has
beautiful scenic attractions, has
adequate housing facilities end
it's Baker's turn, recites the ad
vertisement ot the Baker post.
