Show Governor Calls on Utah To Oversubscribe Its 4th Lib erty Loan Quota CALLING upon Utah to oversubscribe heavily her Liberty bond quota. Governor Simon Bamberger yesterday issued a procla; .nation announcing that the state is short approximately three and one-half million dollars on its allotment. The proclamation follows: , "With less than a week remaining of the fourth Liberty loan campaign, the secretary of the treasury of the United States has announced that three and a half billion dollars are yet to be raised to complete the loan of six billion dollars. Utah," alone, is short approximately three and a half million dollars on its allotment. "At no time since our country took up arms in the cause of .liberty and justice has the need for the solid support of our people been so imperative. A heavy oversubscription to the fourth Liberty Lib-erty loan will convey to the enemy in unmistakable terms the unity of the American people in support of the president in crushing Prussian militarism; It Will be the most effective weapon in bringing i about at the earliest possible hour the unconditional surrender that has been demanded. "Thousands of Utah's sons are in the military and naval serv- Ice of the country; many are now on the hattlefront; some have made the supreme sacrifice. Utah has subscribed liberally to all the calls of the government in the prosecution of the war; but, to concentrate for the miRhty blow which will forever destroy military despotism, it must subscribe more. '.'Therefore, I, Simon Bamberger, governor of Utah, do appeal lo and urge the people of the state to subscribe immediately to the limit of -their ability to the fourth Liberty loan. Each citizen . should subscribe until he has made a real sacrifice. "For those who have not the cash available, it has- been arranged by all the banks of Salt Lake City and the Clearing House banks of Ogden to carry purchases of Liberty bonds with interest at 6 per cent. 1 earnestly urge banks and bankers of other cities and towns to take similar action, that like advantages may be extended to every resident of the state. The victories of our army In the field must not be negatived through inadequate support by our army at home; the. great victory now in sight must , not be lost." |
