1.-THE delegates to the counties COM
nittee are all men who are foremost
in the business affairs of their COM
munities, and at the meeting every
county in the state will be represented
There are 200 commercial and indus
trial organizations aff1liated with the
California promtion committee and
nearly ali these will have representa-
tives at the meeting. They are all for
the good of California, and while the
local organization naturally devotes
most of its time to the upbuilding of
their individual part Of the state, there
is combination of power for the good
of the entire commonwealth. These
counties committee meetings are the
capitalization of that feeling, which
has grown from very small beginning
into one of the greatest powers for
good in California.
"The best thing ever accomplished
for California by the California Pro-
motion committee was the breaking
down of sectionalism through these
counties committee meetings, for now
the work Is for the entire state, with
the motto One for All, All for One
as the keynote. Everybody now recog-
nizes that what helps one part of Cali
fornia helps all parts, and the spirit
of cooperation that has been estab-
1ished through these meetings now ex-
tends to every corner of the state"
