PRAISES MANAGEMENT OF
THIS YEARS GREAT FAIR
Party Gathers at Fair Grounds
as Guest of President Nc
Donald in Interest of Greater
Exposition Each Year.
IT is GROWING RAPIDLY

There is one ground upon which we
all stand, and that is the making of
a greater Utah. We are living III the
greatest state in the Union, and we
want the world to know it, We are,
first of all, for Utah, and we will
unite in working for Utah. Let US
forget this pickering and cavilhng
and boost for a better and greater
state.-Governor William Spry.
At dinner rendered a number of news
paper men yesterday at the fair grounds
by J. g Mcdonald, president OF the Utah
State Fair association. Governor William
SpTy made a stirring appeal Tor an end
to strife in Utah and vigorous plea for
a sinking of oil differences and long
pull together for the advancement of the
best state in the Union. Utah.
President Mcdonald introduced Cover
nor Spry, who said in part: 81 am not
given to speaking about men behind their
backs, ] love to say what ] have to say
in the open and i'm Mr. McDOnalds pres
ence | wish to say to you men that the
success Of the present state fair, the
greatest fair that Utah has ever had. is
largely due to the careful. progressive
and Woodworking management of Presi-
dent J. G.. Mcdonald.
Fair Grows Rapidly.
The state fair is growing rapidly The
number of its exhibits have increased
greatly. This year there We're not nearly
enough stalls to accommodate livestock.
There was not sufficient room for all Of
the exhibits. Next year many of these
will have to be taken care Of Tt is neces-
sary that we do so. AS far as the gov
ernOr Of this state is concerned the work
Of the management of the Fair assOCia-
ton has his earnest approval and coop
Grafton and he will endeavor to assist
the management In making the next fair
a greater one than this one has been.
AS I have said the reason why we are
getting a greater number Of exhibitors at
the state fair each year in every depart
ment is that the exhibitors have come to
know that they are sure to get an ahsO-
lutte square deal from the management.
The policy pursued by the present man
agement is sure to succeed with the co..
operation of the people Of the state.
4 wish TO say to Mr.. Mcdonald that
the men gathered around this board this
evening. the boys who do the work. who
write the stuff for the papers, are the
men to whom he must look for his great
est support in making the fair a great
success. It is largely within their power
to make the state fairs of Utah pro-
nOUnced successes.
There is one question on which all Of
US. / think, may agree. There IS no re-
ligiOn and no politics I'm the state fair.
There is one ground on which we an
stand and that is the making of a greater
Utah. We are living in the greatest state
in the Union and we want the world to
know It. We are first of all for Utah
and we will all unite i'm working for Utah.
Let us forget this pickering and cavilling
and boost for a better and a greater state.
Union Brings Strength.
It had occasion to travel in Birming-
ham. Ala, and in Tennessee and in other
states when the wealth first came into
the southern districts for the development
Of the natural resources In developing
them there was union among everyone.
There were no party lines, no religious
lines drawn. Even the north and the
south united on the common ground of
aiding the state of their birth or their
adoption. Let US do that in Utah and
let the hum of industry extend through
out the state.
Il should like to see more interest i'm
our fairs by the state at large and By
the counties of the state. I should like
to see the counties of the state have COM
Eetitive exhibits at the fair the prizes to
be awarded to the counties having the
best exhibits. I should like to see more
county fairs: I should like to see more
competitions between counties and be-
as in everything else, is the spice of life
and competition at the state fair means
its future success as the state fair Il IS
for you men to do a great deal Of good
by educating the public telling It what
the state fair is and what It is doing for
the state. Tt Is for you men to keep alive
this competition which is making the fair
a success
