THE WORLDS FAIR WORK
THE COUNTIES WHICH HAVE CON-
PLETED ORGANIZATION.
The West and the Southwest Are the
First to Take Hold OF the Wo,k
Outlined by the Commission.

Dallas Texas, February 24.-I inclose
You herewith list of counties which, IN TO
date, have completed organization in the
Worlds Fair work by naming gentlemen
and lady chalrmen. 1t is worthy of com
ment that the counties Of the West and
Southwest, and in counties in which the
Texas Worlds Fair commission is not rep
resented by a Worlds Fair commission,
have been the first to respond TO the COM
missions call for organization. l do not
intend to convey the idea, in calling your
attention to this fact that our commission
ers in the big and wealthy counties are
neglecting their duty, for they are not, but
merely to Indicate tht very lively interest
that is being manifested in Worlds Fair
work in sections of the State which, 1t was
reasonable to expect, would be the last in
stead of the first TO organize. The interest
taken in these counties is very largely due
10 the enterprise of the Texas bankers,
who, in almost every instance, have taken
the initiative in this important work.
Each one of these charmen Is TO be made
q delegate at large and a special delegate
to the Worlds Fair from their several coun-
ties, ana commissions to that effect, signed
by the governor, will be issued to them
in due time.
The executive committee will meet on
Wednesday for the purpose Of perfectiaS
a plan of organization which is TO be adj
hered to in each Of the counties Of the
matter of selecting exhibits aud preparing
subscriptions TO the Texas Worlds Fair
fund. The list inclosed herewith will not
be given out to the newspapers here until
tomorrow. Louis j. workman
