be told that that body has now a bet

would then be nominated to the Senate

In addition to what Mr.. Pembroke
has had to say heretofore, he gave the
following to HERALD reporter yester-

OF his letter: ''There is an old saying to

tue of it. permit me to state that L have
not made "kick" against the directors
of the Chamber of Commerce, all of
whom l esteem highly. All men are
liable to err. We know, or believe, the
directors of the Chamber have erred
whilst several respected members of the
Chamber have been the recipients of in
sulting communications from the sec
rotary.
Now, in regard to the printing of the
book. / know that the directors did
not exhaust all means of information
as to the cost of pro ducing it at home,
and Mr.. Gunner, when figuring on tn
cost of importing the paper for the
work entirely forgets that we have as
good paper mill at home which should
have furnished the paper for that book.
Was the homemade paper consulted
in the computation of cost of issuing it.
How much better it would have been
to have been able to say, This book
was printed in Salt Lake, on paper
made in Salt Lake County" What
was the item of an additional 81 600 on
the cost of the book. providing it had
been left at home. 1 tell you, we are
ignoring the fact that all present per-
sonal sacrifices we make for the benefit
of Utah rebound to the benefit of our
children. And in conclusion l simply
wish to impress that fact on all officers
and members of the Chamber of Com
merce."

OPINIONS

Mr.. FRED AUERBAcH, of the board of
directors, said he was in favor of hay
ing the present directory's stepping
down and out and giving new men
chance. He thought the present
officers had done their duty. but he was
willing to give new men a chance. He
had no desire to see change in the
secretaryship. Mr.. Forhan had his
faults, but he was an efficient and able
secretary.
FRANK W. JENNINGS was called upon
but he had nothing to say and escaped
from the reporter through the nearest
door.
JAMES GLENDINNING had not given
the subject thought. He was satisfied
with Mr.. Mccormick and the other
officers. Had no objections to Mr.
Forhan as secretary. Mr.. Glendinning
has been a member of the directory
since the organization of the Chamber,
and has had all he wants of it. He is
perfectly willing to give the others a
chance.
GEORGE A. LOWE, also a member of
the directory, had not given the subject
OF new officers any thought. He had
heard Mr.. Auerbach's name mentioned
in connection with the presidency, and
thought he was a good man, but he
saw no reason for not keeping Mr..
Mccormick in the position. Mr.. Lowe
did not care to see change in the
secretaryship. He was willing to give
other members q chance at the Offices
if they wanted them.

secretary, as Mr.. Forhan was objected
to by many members on account of his
connection with the real estate bust
ness. He thought that new life was all
that the Chamber needed and he saw no
reason why this should not be supplied.
Being asked as to the statement tina! he
had made up a ticket to run for the
offices, Mr. Sells replied: "Well I
wouldn't tell it, if 1 had"
Mr.. l.. P. KELSEY, one of the delin-
quent members, was seen. He did not
think he had any right to voice in the
matter. Mr.. Kelsey said he was not
dissatisfied with the present officers of
the Chamber. In fact, the cause of his
delinquency was Indifference rather
than dissatisfaction, and he thought he
would pay up his dues and return to
full standing. He thought Fred. AT er-
bach was good man for the presi-
dency, but did not think that gentleman
could find the time to attend to the
duties of that position He wanted to
see new secretary put in; thought Mr..
Forhan was very efficient man, but
he did not suit the men out here, and
his interests in the real estate business
were Objectionable.
