Within the rext few days the 100
mark viii very likely be reached. The
memories Of the various mayors and

the states advent into the union so
years ago.

the matter does not look for total
delegation from the state of more than
$50. This number will easily give a
good representation OF Kansas.

is to decide whether an exposition Will
be held and where.
Tt is state event, and the state in
general VIII determine all matters per-
taining 10 it, Major I. J. Anderson,
secretary of the Commercial club,
thinks that the temporary committee
should have meeting at once, draw up
a charter. appoint a board of directors
with a representative from each coun-
tys and from this board then select
an executive committee of Is to trans
act busiress. Il simply suggest said
the major yesterday, that we draw up a
plan of this kind, and present it to the
convention for adoption. These are
matters which are important. Let such
lawyers as z. F. Ware and n. H. Loom
is, who are on the committee look after
the charter. We must have some defin-
lite direct plan to submit to the dele
gates. 1T is the best way to get some
thin= dOue."
The temporary committee will meet
loo Il
it is likely that at that time arrange
ments of some kind looking towards the
formation of plan viii be entered into.
