This is not news-just record OF
events and a few impressions.
Last week / attended meeting
of the Colorado Editorial association
in Denver.
The association is made up mostly
of country newspaper publishers of
the state.
The chief objects of the association
| is to get its members together and dis
cuss ways of building up a better and
cleaner press and making the busi-
ness more profitable for its members.
The association has been of great
benefit to those who take an interest
in it's meetings and it is today larger
and stronger than any year in its
history.
The January meeting is the annual
business meeting of the association.
AT the meeting last week the follow
| ing officers were elected:
President, Guy U. Hardy, publisher
Daily Record, Canon City.
| Vice President, George E. Hosmer
publisher Herald, Fort Morgan
First vice president, ]. w. Kelley,
president Denver Press club.
Secretary treasurer, James T. Law
less, publisher Sparks, Lamar.
An amendment to the constitution
was adopted providing that the pres
ident shall appoint the executive COM
mittee. 1t was formerly selected by
election. 1t was believed that any pres
ident can select stronger executive
committee than is usually elected,
because he knows the work he de-
sires to accomplish and he can give
some thought to the selection.
The president announced the fol-
lowing appointments for the execu-
tive committee: c. E. Adams, pub
Usher Montrose Press; L. N. Bunting.
publisher Grand Junction Sentinel;
David Elliot, editor Colorado Springs
Telegraph; P. Byrnes, publisher Bes-
semer Indicator Otto Wanglin, Boul-
der Herald and ]. j. Berkhausen.

year and the last two years.
The association holds two meetings
year-the January meeting for bus
iness and a. summer meeting for fun.

tertainment was expected, at this
meeting 1t turned out to be about the |
pleasantest that was ever held in jan
uary.
Monday night the Denver Press
club took charge of the boys and
showed them good time. They were
first taken to the Democratic club
where all were introduced to the Ma |
tienal Democratic chairman, Tom

tuition all made short talks. Besides
this there was much else Of interest.
Tuesday night the association MEM
bers were the guests Of Mayor Speer
