I The seventeenth annual meeting was q
new departure, being held at Mahtomedl,
on White Bear lake, near st. Paul, on
July 80, 1884. Rev. S. G.. Smith, in behalf
Of that summer and religious resort, ex-
tended a cordial welcome, which was fit
tingly responded to by President Herbert.
The annual address was delivered by
| Hon. c. X. Davis, ex-governor of the state

tanning.

Minnesota. is entitled to the honor OF
originating the National Editorial asso-
citation, and that great movement was
practically begun at this meeting by Hon.
B. B. Herbert, who was then our presi-
dent In concluding his address he made
this suggestion:
Let us organize and work for advancement.
and coming up from these Institutes, bringing
our experience with us, let us make more
broad and deep the work Of this association.
It can be done in a hundred ways. Then
let us look forward to a national association
formed of delegates from the state associa-
lions. There is no other calling in the coun-
try that would be SO much benefited by a
national organization as. would the publish
ers Of weekly papers in the smaller cities and
villages. In the matter of advertising alone,
through a properly organized and properly
conducted national association, hundreds OF
thousands OF dollars might be saved annually
to the fraternity; besides this. would come
the broader knowledge, and the security from
tho humiliation of being imposed upon, as
we'll as new feeling Of national fraternity
and interest and in favor of united action,
backed by wider inform. alton. that will result
in much good to the best interests of every
section Of our grand and beloved land,
Following out this suggestion Of sPresi-
dent Herbert and to place in permanent
form, beyond any dispute, the origin of
the national organization, your historian
quotes this passage from the proceedings
of an adjodrned meeting which was held
at the. Chequamegon Hotel Ashland, Wis,
Aug. 1. where the association had gone for
a lake excursion.
Err. Otis Of the St. Paul Globe offered
the following resolution, which was unan-
imously adopted:
That the recommendations of the president
of this association for the calling of a con-
vention to organize national editors and
publishers association in and for the United
States of America, be and the same are here
by adopted. That the representation Of the
several states and territories in said proposed
convention be the same as their representa-
ton III the national house OF representatives
That the president Of this association and four
other members Of the association (the four to
be selected by the executive off1cers) shall
be appointed delegates to represent Mime
sofa in the proposed national convention,
with authority to call such convention to meet
in New Orleans during the coming winter and
spring.
In accordance with this resolution, the
following were selected as delegates to the
national editorial convention which was tc
give birth to the organization:

video; H. A. Castle, st. Paul; A. ]. Under
wood, Fergus Falls; a. W. McKinstry, Fari-
bault; w. ]. Whipp1e, Winona-

tory that the National Editorial Associa-
