NATIONAL EDITORIAL CONVENTION

June 7th, Sth and 9th. This Asso-
citation is composed OF more than
1000 editors of newspapers and
magazines from all sections Of the
| United States, among them some OF
the brightest and ablest men in the
country, members of Congress, ex-
Governors and former United States
Senator's At the meeting in San
Francisco in 1902 the writer met
three gentlemen who have since be-
come governor of their State, and as
many who have been elected to Con-
gress, while not few others have
been chosen to serve in positions OF
trust and honor in some branch OF
the State and general government.
The itinerary sent out by Core
spending Secretary ". A. Ashbrook,
OF Johnstown, Ohio, is as follows:
"Wednesday afternoon and even
ing will be given up to the preliminary
meeting, a reception and social func-
tons Thursday and Friday will be
devoted to the program and business
of the convention, election Of officers,
selection of next place Of meeting, etc.
On Saturday, the 10th, we will go
from Guthrie to Enid; Enid to Law
ton; Lawton to Oklahoma City. En-
tertainment at each of these places.
The party will be taken from Okla
homa City to the famous 1O1 Ranch
where the Miller Brothers will enter
tain them with a buffalo hunt, bar
becue, and u day of Indian sports,
such as we will likely never be per-
mitted again to witness. 1t is ex-
pected there will be $4,000 people
present. Great preparations are be-
ing made for this day. Leave that
evening for Guthrie, and that night
Oh to Sapulpa, Indian Territory, Wis.,
iting also Wagner and Muskagee.
Leave that night for Dallas, Houston
and San Antonio, Texas. 1t is de-
sired to have the entire party take
the Texas trip. Entertainment will
be provided at Dallas, Houston and
San Antonio, the latter city being
one of the most historic and interest
ing in the Northwest. Our good Texas
friends have never failed to do the
handsome by the n. f. A., and this
occasion will be no exception"
A further trip is planned to Cali
fornia, as many of the party as wish
to take it going on from San Antonio,
the same cars and a special train
taking them via the Southern Pacific
Railway to Los Angeles, the itinerary
including a visit to the noted resorts
of Southern California, Pasadena,
Riverside, Monterey, etc. Thence to
San Francisco and on to Portland
and the Lewis and Clark Exposition,
or back home us individuals prefer,
visiting Salt Lake City and Colorado.
On the other hand those who do rot
care to take the Texas and California
trip can 60 direct from Guthrie to
Portland. Those who are pressed
for time and yet wish to visit the
Lewis and Clark Exposition will
doubtless do this, arranging their
transportation accordingly.
These annualconventions are great |
events to the delegates-pleasant, in
forming and beneficial-and are large
ly attended usually, from six to eight |
including the ladies. The |
this year promises to be one
of the most delightful in the history
of the Association. The editor of the |
GOLD LEAF is delegate to the Okla
homa meeting and hopes to be able
to attend.
An effort will be made to have the |
National Editorial Association hold |
