ENERGETIC EFFORT TO LAND THE PRIZE
Local Delegates to salt Lake Meet
ing Have Engaged Hendauar-
tcrs and VIII Make
Brisk Hustle.

Omaha is going after the next years con-
vention of the National Live Stock asso-
citation in winning style. There will be
over 200 Nebraska delegates in the meeting
of the association at Salt Lake City week
after next, and every one of them will put
forth his best efforts to secure the 1902
convention for Omaha.
The National Live Stock association Is
one of the most important organizations of
this country, and its annual meetings are
usually attended by about 1000 people from
all parts of the United States. The asso-
citation was formed at Denver four years
ago and met in the same city the following
year. Last year the convention was at
Fort Worth. Tex, and this years meeting
will occur at Salt Lake City January Is to
is.
Nebraska will have not less than 200
hustlers al the Sale Lake convention" said
Nj. A. Daugherty of Sidney. 1--WE feel con-
fident OF our ability to bring next year s
meeting to Omaha. Aside from the facts
that Omaha is most ccessible point for
all the members, that It is one of the great
est live stock markets on the continent and
that the new auditorium can be offered as a
Superior place for holding the sessions, we
have another important claim upon next
years convention. We Nebraska people
helped to send the meeting of last year to
Fort Worth and were instrumental in Sc
curing this years convention for Salt Lake
City, and we are therefore in favorable
position TO talk reciprocity at this time.
Omaha's Headquarters.
1--WE have engaged four big parlors on the
first floor of the New Kenyon hotel for
Nebraska headquarters at the Salt Lake
gathering and we will keep open house
there and impress the warmth of Ne
braska hospitality upon all the delegates.
Our invitation to come to Omaha next year
will be extended TO the association in no
half hearted way and we believe It will be
accepted. Kansas CITY, st. Joseph and
Chicago will contest with us for the next
convention, but we have the inside track"
George II. Payne. who will be on the
Omaha delegation to the Salt Lake con-
vention, said: Il am going to New York
tonight but will hurry back in order to
join the party that will go from here TO
attend the live stock convention at Salt
Lake City I think every business man of
Omaha who can possibly get away ought
to go out to Salt Lake and help in the
work OF securing next years meeting OF the
stockmcn for this city. Omaha ought TO
have this convention, not only because It
will bring thousands of visitors into the
city for week or two, but because 1t
will attract the attention of the entire
country to our superior advantages as a
live stock center"
+. r. Sanborn. another member Of the
delegation to Salt Lake City, said: I'VE
will have the auditorium built this year
and in order to enjoy the full benefits
from it We must bring to Omaha all of
the big conventions that we possibly can.
n fntf h. 1ttA otn t-
ticularly desirable to this city, on account
of our immense interests in that line. We
will go to Salt Lake with a determination
to secure the convention and will offer
the convention many inducements to meet
here next year. 1t will do Omaha a great
deal of good to entertain the thousands OF
influential men who come from all parts
Of the country to attend the meetings of
the live stock convention, and our invita-
tion to them ought to and will be extended
most heartily"
