not gone far before President Baker of the Local
Directory made a speech that seemingly cOmpll-
cafes the relations between the State boards and
The National Commission, ana may lead to lively
times in The convention.
Mi. de Young introduced a resolution which
was adopted, providing for reports from each
State on the work accomplished and information
desired. AT this point Baker was called on 10
speak, and, III The course OF his remarks, said:
The object OF this cOnSepiion Is to secure The
co-oherdIiOn OF the State boards in dealing win
eNhIDilois. To do this effectively, State otGaDi.
zalions must secure authority from the Board Of
Control. IL is difficult 10 deal with exhibitors
from The States TN ough departments OF The fair.
There must be discrimination In the selection OF
exhibits, ard del rIment chiefs cannot judge OF
lhe display IN distant state, or discriminate
between exhibitors, because hey have no means
OF judging. The remedy for this would lie in
regulations dlecting all applications for space
from The States to come through the State board.
ana VeSling the State authOri. les with power OF
discrimination as TO the exhibits"
The National Commission and its Board OF
Control alone have heretofore had control OF
applications for space aud the installation or

lions practically 10 say who would exhibit and
