A GENERAL KICK
By the Auditorium Workers
About Those Who Don't
Work.

Major T. j. Anderson, president of
the Topeka Auditorium association.
said today: 'As soon as we get back
from Hutchinson, a meeting of the
board of directors of the Auditorium
association will be called. We must
get down to work. Then the new board
will be selected. We want workers on
the board, and am going to find them.
There are a few on the present board
who are not willing to do anything to
help the project along. We will have
the meeting some time this week and
then we will dive into it in good shape
1t is probable that the meeting will
be called for Friday evening. The reg
ular meeting of the Commercial club
which was to be held Wednesday even
ing of this week has been postponed
until Wednesday evening, June Is
E. H. Crosby, member of the board
of directors of the Auditorium assOcia-
ton said today: There is no use talk
ing, we have got to do more rustIins in
this matter. There are some on the
board who do not work the way they
should. I am in favor of holding a
meeting soon and understanding just
what we want to do in the matter. We
didn't accomplish much at our last
meeting"
r. s. Brigham, also a member Of the
board said: Il have been so ousy the
past 80 days I couldn't do much for the
auditorium but I will have more time
now. There has got to be a change in
that board of directorS.A few shouldn't
be made to do all the work These
things should be discussed at the meet
ing to be held soon"
a few of the directors who have not
done any rustling whatever, are in
clined to think that on account of the
it would be best to postpone the
building of the auditorium a, year. Eat
most of the directors want it built this
summer, and they are willing to help
build it. The business men and citizens
want it built this summer. It will help
Topeka, and the sooner it is put up the
better for the city. The state conEer-
ton of the Republicans is to be held
Wednesday of this week at Hutchinson
in a she'll known as an auditorium and
which is a long distance from the town.
And all because Topeka had ade
quate place for holding it. They didn't
want to go into a sweat box again.
If the auditorium is built this year
there won't be a state convention or
large gathering of any kind held any
where's next year but in Topeka We
will scoop in everything. There is
chance, too. for national conventions, of
various kinds.
