supporters than the substantial business
mon Of Teccr.a. Ia the several times the

building OF the state. His hearty and un-
qualified sympathy with them In their
desire 10 give the Northwest q great ex-
position, the substantial aid he and other
state officers rendered to the enterprise,
ana last but not least his recent procla-
nation calling upon the people of the

caused them TO look upon him as a per-
sonal friend and a clsar-hsaded. broad
minded able chief executive OF all this

perhaps no stronger friend than Henry
Pncey. president and director general of
the fair.

man 20 whom we owe much. He has
done more for the fair than We could ex-
pect from any governor. His influence
and sympathy have been with US from

into his character and ideas during the
different meetings we have had regarding
the fair, have come to the conclusion
that he is the best governor Washington
ever had. lie has the interests of the
state at heart in his every act. No better
man than he could have been chosen rs
eur chief executive in the trying times
through which We have just passed"
Abe Gross, of the executive committee
