AS ONE Man.
Semi-Centennial.De legatesReady
to Move on Topeka.
Over Two Hundred Have Already
Been Named.
PURPOSE Is CLEAR.
To Prepare for Kansas Greatest
Public Celebration.
Permanent Organization Will
Then Be Formed.

Two uunQTGQ ana 6l8ALGGA delegates
have been appointed up to date for the
Semi-centennial exposition convention
to be held at 10 o'clock Monday morn
ing, January %, in representative hall
in Topeka.
The convention will decide whether
Kansas will hold an exposition in
1911 to commemorate the states
fftfeth advent into the union. The
city in Kansas in which the big fair is
to be held viii also be decided upon.
Each board of county commission
ers in the state was requested by the
temporary committee to send a dele
gate. Each city was also asked to
send delegate and an additional one
for each 5000 population. The fact
that 21S have been reported up to date
shows how heartily and with what en-
thusiasm the state is taking hold of
the project.
The affair is to be a big thing, the
largest that Kansas has ever taken to
advertise itself to the world. Though
there are still practically five years
left i'm which to work UP and build the
exposition, the time, if anything, is
too short
At the convention a permanent or
ganizadOn VIII be formed and steps
taken to put the wheels of the inn
mense proposition into motion. 1t is be-
ieved that fully 500 delegates will
have been appointed by the time the
meeting takes place.
