Hawley Of Idaho--'This surely will
be the greatest educational trip ever
undertaken. The east knows too little
about the west and an sure that
when we return home many thou
sands Of people Will have had their
eyes opened TO the wonderful oppor-
tunities awaiting them in Idaho ana

West Of Oregon---"I am making

as there are things at home that al
most demand my attention during the
next few weeks, but ! think the bene-
fits Of the trip to the people of the
east rs wen as 10 the people of my
state will more than compensate any
temporary sacrifice.
Eberhart of Minnesota--"Of course
primarily | am looking after the in
terests OF Minnesota, but In this case
! Minncsota's interests are the interests
of every other northwestern state.
After this campaign | look to see a
stream OF immigration pour through
st. Paul that will benefit every city
and state from here to the coast"
Shafroth of Colorado--s'The per-
snnal contact Of the governors with
the people OF the east will mean
much 10 both. In addition to show
ling them our natural and commercial
resources we expect to get from them
u more intimate knowledge of COM
mercia interests that Will help us In
a commercial way"
Vessev Of South Dakota-"Of
course expect to prove to the east
erners that South Dakota is the only
place in the world to live. but this

distinguished competition ] am "a
have. However. we all will work In
harmony and what benefits one will
