EX-GOVERNOR rRts CO.
Ex-Governor j.. Bradford Prince, Of
New Mexico, said:
"Mt. President I rise 10 say but
few words In sec0nding the suggestion
that the next meeting Of the congress
be held in Salt Lake CITY.
"Tho last three meetings VI this con.
greas have been held on the borders Of
the great tfansmitsisslppi cDuntry, ono
NJ San Francisco, In the extreme west,
one, year ago, at 81. Louie, and this
session In Omaha, which ~ also in the
eastern part Of this territory.

ex.president, Mr.. Cannon, n few mo.

"PenOunlly, have no interest what

that 10 the interest Of this organization
we should subordinate ell such idess,
and 1 think the next meeting should
be held there.

ANOTHER SECOND FOR SALT LAKE.
Mr.. IwolienbArgsr, OF Nebraska, |
