Now as to delegates. Every nom
Der Of the Oregon Development league
is entitled to name a delegation to
include any desired number-the sec
tion conventions should be borne in
mind in appointing delegates so that
men from the different industries are
named.
Every editor in the state is dele
gate at large, because it is through
the newspapers that Oregon will get
her publicity. Where there are no
organizations holding mem bership in
the league, the appointment Of the
representatives devOlves upon the
mayors of towns and the county com
missicners, and it is especially de
sired that several sections Of the
state not now affiliated with the
league should oragnize and join US.
Every possible permanent benefit
should be secured as result Of the
oncromu- western travel that is now
"a certainty
