Held q Special Meeting Of
the Press Association and
Resolve to Put New Life
10 the Organization When
Il Meets Next Month

A goodly number of editors and
newspaper men of the state, principally
from Ward county and from west of
the river, were in the city yesterday
pursuant to call made by the Ward
County Editorial association repre-
senting Sc papers, for meeting to see
what had become of the North Dakota
Editorial association and if there was
chance of recognizing it or galvanizing
it into new life.
The courtesies of the Commercial
club were extended the pencil gang and
they held meeting at 4 p. m, to talk
the matter over, and the subject was
done full justice and from all possible
points of view There was no evidence
shown that it was the desire to throw
down the old state association if that
organization showed the least signs of
life, and when it was discovered that
a faint spark glowed it was decided
to hold an evening session and invite
President Frank A. Wilson of the old
association, who was in the city, to
attend and call the meeting to order.
: After supper this was done, and w.
Irysh of the Mott Pioneer, was chosen
as secretary pro tenn. The situation
was again threshed. over, and it was
decided that in order to avoid all ap-
pearance of bucking the old organiza-
ton, that this meeting would be called
a special meeting, there being Nenough
of the old members present to form a
quorum. "A recess was then taken
while the bunch present contributed to
the dues fund, all hands wishing to
become members of the association, and
after that it was all plain sailing.
A special legislative committee COM
posed of Sam Clark, Bob Hughes, w.
H. Spears, A. A. Trovaten and Homer
Ressler was then appointed to look
over the situation and report to meet
ing to be held in the same place this
morning. When this meeting adjourns
it will be to Feb. Is, when the regular
meeting OF. the North Dakota Editorial
association will be held in this city. 4
