Dear Dr. Allen:

After hearing your really wonderful talk
I have not yet gotten myself in the condition so
as to be familiar enough to call you "Phog." It
really was a grand talk, and I have heard many
happy comments on it since.

I have been checking, since the campaign
was over, to determine why we did not have a bet-
ter turn-out, and I find that we were competing
against meetings of the A. A. U. W., the Parent
Teachers! Association, and the League of Women
Voters. Practically all of these groups were mak-
ing last-minute plans to bring about the election
of the Citizens’ Committee candidates, who, as you
will recall, were endorsing the present administra-
tion, headed by our mitual friend, Harry Gowans.
Our candidates won by sizable majorities, and we
are all back to normal again.

It was grand to have had you with us, and
1f you should be anywhere near the vicinity in the
future, let us know in advance if you can, and if
we have no regular planned meeting, we will arrange
a special on@e

With kindest personal regards.
