ambies. that the commission placed
itself on record only as opposed 10 tLs-
opening II the gates on Sunday.

10 support of the resolution. said: Has
sunday opening been success! ! say
DO. You have worked the poor man for
all he is worth. You have worked the
religious element. You have asked the
poor man 10 view with the same rever-
euce the dance Of the Egyptian women
and the fiue arts exhibit. But that
thing don't work. Its downright liz
zle So FAR. Now the directors want q -
cent admission. This thing will result
IN a conference aad the adoption
OF another rule for sunday
closing. Why don't you act like men
IL the commission could have enforced
the Sunday closing rule in lucid inter
val the fair would nave had AN average
daily attendance of 30.s0 You Will
find that Sunday opening will lie fail

cents for four tfths show or one fifth
show. The directors have worked the
poor dodge too far. When YOU make

country wants ~ good show as tho
rich man. sunday closing Is psral,zed
from this time ON. la the 'irst place
the exhibitors are NOT IN favor of Sun
day opering Some of the Test exhibits
are covered up. In the second place
the poor men are against Sunday open
