The Y. M. C. A. in Los Angeles is campaigning for half a million dollars to put toward extension work and facilities maintenance. Edwin T. Earl wired Theodore Roosevelt on May 20 asking for a statement to be read at a banquet about the organization’s character and citizenship. Earl and the rest of the organization were disappointed that Roosevelt did not send this message over, and request a statement again to be published in the local newspapers.
