What have you done to help secure the passage of the normal school bill? Have you attempted to secure the support of your friends over the state? Every man, woman and child in Pendleton undoubted ly has from one to a score of voting friends outside of this city to whom a word of suggestion would be all that is necessary. The campaign committee has printed a great many folders which set out briefly the arguments for the loca tion of a normal school in this city. These folders will be p-ladly furnished to all who call at the office of Secretary J. H. Gwinn at the Pendleton Abstract Company. A folder enclosed in each letter going out over the state would be most effective. If you do not wish to write a letter, write a few words on the margin of the folder and address it to a friend. It is not opposition that will kill the measure. There is no organized opposition to it except what comes from Weston. If the amendment is defeated, it will be defeat ed by indifference. There are many voters who do not care enough about the measure to apprise themselves of its provisions These voters as a rule vote No. A simple word from a friend would change their vote to Yes. Pendleton citizens have it in their power to change thousands of votes, and they at least cannot afford to be ' indifferent. If you are loyal to Pendleton, Umatilla county and east ern Oregon you will send out the information that has been prepared.
