The attitude of the committee from

said. "It Is tho birthplace of tho Repub

"A Republican national convention In

MAYOR BLANKENBURG INVITES
THE CONVENTION TO COME HERE
In n letter addressed to the Republican National Committco Mayor
Blankcnburp; made n slronp; plcn for tho selection of Philadelphia a3 tho
convention city. The letter follows:
To tho Republican National Committee, Washington, D. C:
Gentlemen Under our form of city government lnrpe powers
nre concentrated in the hands of the Mayor. I heartily wish
these powers were doubled nt tho present lime, thnt I might,
speaking for tho city of Philadelphia, and ppcakinp; for myself
aa Chief Magistrate, impress upon vour committee tho whole
hearted cordiality that underlies Philadelphia's invilnlion to the
delegates of the National Republican convention.
A Citizens' Committee, which will visit you on Tuesday, will
explain fully certain material considerations, which should in
fluence your action. Wo can place nt your servlco n convention
hall with n seating capacity of 20,000 and perfect acoustics so
perfect that an ordinarily strong voice can bo heard in every part
of the hall. This, it seems to me, is one of tho prerequisites for
a large gathering. Our hotel accommodations are of tho highest
order nnd ample to tnko tho best of care of nny number of dele
gates and outside nttendnncc.
America faces world leadership. What more fitting thtin,
facing such n crisis in tho world's history, tho grcnt constructive
political party of tho United States should como to Philadelphia
to icccivo n new baptism of patriotism nt tho Shrine of Liberty
Independence Hall win qualities thnt will justify public con
fidence from association with the grcnt liberty-loving nnd liberty
giving idea with which Philadelphia is associated In the minds of
every citizen within tho limits of the United Stntcs.
Important queslons of home policies divide1 large portions of
our electorate Into opposing political camps. Tho coming political
campaign, if it is to leave the Rppublir stronger than ever,
should bo preceded by an elimination of factional diircrcnc.es
through the finding of a common ground in a common love of
country.
Tho city of Philadelphia was tho scene of the adoption of the
Declaration of Independence nnd tho Constitution not through tho
incident of accident, but because her great founder had impressed
upon his people tho necessity of Inrgo and cool allowance a
broad policy of givo and take, n spirit of compromise nnd con
cession that has continued to this day, nnd to this day rendered
Philadelphia a favorite meeting plnco for those who desire to
find common ground on which differences of opinion can be
reconciled nnd successful issues joined,
We want you in Philadelphia! In the language of the Good
Hook, "Come thou with us and we'll do thee good."
Very truly yours,
RUDOLPH HLANKENBURG, Mayor.
