CORRESPONDENCE. 
Now there are three things which I most earnestly urge you 
to do if you love your profession and if you want it properly 
recognized by the United States Government: 
1. Write at once a strong letter to either Senator Bristow, 
Senator Jones or Senator Clark, appealing to him to have his 
sub-committee report the bill favorably to the Military Com¬ 
mittee in order that it can be gotten before the Senate itself. 
2. Write also to one or both of the United State Senators 
from your State and ask them to do what they can to bring 
the bill out of committee and to vote for it when it comes up on 
the calendar. 
3. Write finally to the Congressman from ycur district and 
urge him strenuously to support the bill when it is reported out 
of the committee and put to vote in the House of Representa¬ 
tives. 
The chances for success this year are better than they ever 
were before, but in order to win we've got to work. We must 
wage a relentless battle from now on. Every last man of us in 
the association must get to work and do his utmost. Can I 
count on you personally to write these three letters? Please 
don't delay—write them at once. Now is the time to strike 
while the iron is hot, and everybody strike together! 
Beseeching your assistance, which will lead to the better¬ 
ment of our beloved profession, I am, 
Very heartily yours, 
S. Brenton. 
P. S.—For just such reasons as above, we need to con¬ 
stantly increase our membership. Do your best to induce every 
eligible brother to join us at Indianapolis.”
