Mr.. Barrett began his remarks by re-
ferring to States and Territories of the
Mainland which. on account Of the la i
that their legislatures do not meet for
a year or more, were placed in very
fresh appearance in the courts after
much the same position as Hawaii with
respect to funds for state and terri
torial exhibits. The speaker referred
particularly TO Texas which had shown
so much enthusiasm over the EXPOSE
ton proposition that 1t had succeeded
in securing 100000 toward the send
ing forth of the exhibit to St Louis
through the medium of a committee OF
citizens. The exposition authorities
had been communicated with and q site
for a state building had already been
selected.
Mr.. Barrett emphasized the fact that
1t was necessary for the men of this
Territory interested in the exposition
to organize at once and get into COM
municatlon with the exposition author.
tiles. A good location was most neces.
sary and this could be had If there
was a disposition on the part of the
committee to forge ahead. Exhibits
cauld be placed in territorial building
or distributed to the proper places in
the various buildings. If the former,
no awards could be expected. This was
so at both Chicago and Buffalo.
