The tour of the governors was the
suggestion of former Governor James
II. Brady OF Idaho, who is included in
the party, and the inspiration to him
came from the spirit of cooperation
between the states that has been fos-
tered through the Northwestern De

he attended in st. Paul in October, at
which several OF the governors were
present. That the governors should

OF the idea that they should all go to-
