are interested in making the fair a
success, and. if met in a spirit of
friendliness by officials, will for a
right consideration give the fair all
the space required to thoroughly ad-
vertise it.
The Secretary should also be a
man who will have every part of his
work ready when the fair begins, and
n who can as we'll take a good
many cuffs and rebutfs with a smile.
The General Superintendent must
likewise be up and doing at all times,
as he ordinarily has to be in more
places at the same time than any
other official. He should have the
nerve to enforce all regulations
without fear or favor, which rules
ought to prohibit every species Of
gambling or flake" shows on the
grounds, as nc enterprise can long be
successful and tolerate gambling.
Prohibit Gambling.

the President that he sees that all
minor officials perform their duties
equally and with thoroughness.
The Secretary must be a live man,
and especially should he know the
Importance of printers ink. The fair
should be thoroughly advertised, not
only in its W county but in those
adjoining. No exhibition will be a
success without being we'll adver-
tised. Every local paper within the
territory from which it is expected
to draw should be given a large dis
play advertisement ut least IA month
before the fair opens. and it is a part
Of the Secretary's business from
that time on to supply those papers
with interesting paid references to
the coming event. Some fair man.
ayers neglect this, or possibly
they think it doesn't pay. An en-
rerience of many years upholds me
in the assertion that it does pay, and
pays well. A county fair can't be
conducted successfully without the
aid and cooperation of the newspa-
pers. 1t costs money to print news
papers, and it will necessarily cost
money to boom the fair through
those papers, but it is money we'll
spent. Successful fair officials al
ready realize this fact. The papers

The ackin Box Item.
There are other expenses in 10th
branches of Congress which seem
Q ually large. For instance, the item
of contingent ex senses, $lOS,0.0, Is
composed largely of stationery, $1,000
being appropriated for that alone.
There is another item i'll the cont.n-
gont account which always makes o
great deal of fun. and that is the item
Of acking boxes. Every Senator and
every Member s entitled, when he

These boxes a"e made under contract.
Each set consists OF two large b y Q
and one small one. Those in the SEN
ate are made deliberately. The
co t of making the boxes is not so
much. Those for the Senators cost
about $1,000, those for the Hou c cost
about S4.000, but their actual cost Is
but u trifle compared with what it
costs the postotlc e department to
transport the boxes and their contents

buildings the same should be SO dis
tributed that the uncomfortable
masslng of visitors can he avoided, as
the crowding of large throngs mate
rally lessons the pleasure and COM
fort OF fair patrons. and naturally
the gate receipts as we'll. Another
advantage gained by the proper and
%jud!cious arrangement of buildings is
security In case of fire, which can be
controlled more successfully among
detached structures than when the
same are grouped together.
A second important point to con-
slider is the election of officers. The
selection of these. as of all employees,
should be effected with Il definite OBJ
ject In view, namely. the securing of
efficient and competent men, for the
success of fairs depends greatly upon
their management. The election of
officers should be by ballot, and a
clause of the constitution of the as
ISOLATION ought to provide that no
stockholder can cast more than one
vote, two objects being obtained by
this rule: a better distribution ofthe
stock Of the association, thereby in
surfing more stockholders as active
workers for the success of the fair:
and the advantage that it prevents
"rings" Or Combines" from being
formed for personal influence and
profit. which usually results in unfair
and unsafe fair management.

Some persons may argue that trot-
ting horses tends to gambling. Such,
however, is not the case. A good
speed program is absolutely necessary
to a successful fair, and can
be had without pool boxes or
gaming of amy kind, especially
at county fairs, as the visitors
to such are largely from the rural
population, which, as a rule, does
not to any extent indulge in betting.
Races at fairs a,e usually held tor
the entertainment of patrons. The
first part OF the day is taken up by
the showing of stock and other anti
Giles on exhibition. The after part
of the day the visitors are inclined to
rest. While resting they must be en-.
tertalned. and no better amusement
has been devised than a good speed
program. Trotting meetings. with
pool boxes and letting on the results
of races, are entirely different from
trials of speed at county fairs.
Thirdly, successful fair manage
mcnt, to some extent, depends upon
the amount of money offered in the
way of premiums. This must be
governed entirely by the gate re-
ccipts and rents from privileges sold,
as these comprise the resources ofSthe

their receipts, charge entrance fees

Plan of Organization.
The successful management of
county fairs, Mr.. Mitchell says. de-
ponds: First, upon the organizations:
and of all the plans that have been
attempted, that of Il stock associa-
tion has given the best satisfaction.
and has stood the test o. time longer
than any other system. In such AN
organization, the shares of stock
should be issued in quantity sufficient
to give ample funds TO fully equip
the association grounds for the az
commodation OF its business. The
price of these share ought not to ex-
coed $40 nor he less than $40, and
thre r-fourths of the stock should be
held 10y the most enterprising farm
ers in the county, the remainder
to lie owned by residents of the
city where the fair is held. The
amount of land to be controlled by
the association depends upon it's ca
pacity for doing business. If q large
city is near to the grounds, and the
county is thickly populated, a larger
acreage is of course necessary than
under less favorable surroundings,
bat no association i'm these progress
i've times should own less than forty
acres of land.

penditures that the two houses of Con-
gress are willing to appropriate for,
when the expenditure is for their own
personal recompense, comfort and

Governor West Declares That His
Party Only Can Regulate the
Silver Question.

here to-day with 165 delegates present.
The convention was called to order by
Hon. c. c. Richards. who reviewed the
history of the Democratic party in Utah,
including its contest for supremacy with
the TuscarOra Society at the national con-
vention at Chicago. The purposes of the
convent ion were set forth in being the
election Of a new Territorial Committee
and the transaction of such other business
as might be necessary. A committee on
resolutions was appointed and a recess
taken for thirty minutes.
Pending the mblage of the conven-
ton Governor West delivered a speech.
He said that the idea that Democracy was
getting into i'll repute with the people was
a delusion and snare. He predicted that
during the present month the tariff bill
would be passed and thus a great pledge
of the Democratic party with the people
be kept. He said if silver was ever re-
habilitsted it would have to be done by
the Democratic party. which first made it
constitutional money.
The report of the resolutions committee
was then read. The report was very
lengthy and dealt directly with the politi-
cal issues OF the day from a thoroughly
Democratic standpoint. The resolutions
were adopted amid much enthusiasm.
A vote of thanks was rendered to G. c.
Richards. Secretary of State and chairman
of the Territorial Committee. for his labor
in the cause of the party
