STATE CONVENTION
In RAWLINS
Elarborats Arrangements Being xsds
for Entertainment Of the coming
Delegates

SVe8v
Tuesday afternoon at the City
hall q very enthusiastic bunch of
Good road Boosters met with Mr.
Emery, president of the state as.
ISOLATION, and started the ball roll
ing for the holding of the state
Convention here next month.
Mr.. Emery stated that in his
travels over the state he had visit
ed no city which he thot would
make a better location for the
holding Of this convention than
Rawlins and he further said that
if Rawlins desired the convention
he would issue a call for it to be
held here.
ID. @. zimmerman was called to
the chair and F. A. Wallace was
put in as secretary. A motion
was made that Rawlins accept the
honor conferred upon US by Mr..
Emery and that we make arrange
ments for the entertainment of The
many people who will BIZ on hand.
The motion was passed unsni-
mouly.
The following committees were
appointed by the chair. Finance
committee-K. q. Hadsell, chair
man, Leland Smiley, Joe Jacobuc-
ci, A. A. France and w. E. Bible.
Entertainment Committee. A.
Hadsell, chairman, j. 81 Clause,
j. NJ. kumsey, Geo. A. Bible,
and j. r. E. Turpin. Advertise
ing Committee Will Reed and r.
II. Alcorn.
The raising of money for the
Convention was begun Immediate
ly and in a very few minutes the
the Finance committee had raised
over a hundred dollars. The COM
mittee is still busy and the sub
scription list is growing steadily,
probable that the convention will
be called for September l1-12. It
will meet here the IL and transact
all the necessary business on that
day. A smoker or dance will pro-
badly be given in the evening of
the 18th and on the 18th the entire
caravan of automobiles will go to
Saratoga aud partake of one of
the famous fish fries for which
that city is famous. The day will
be spent at Saratoga, in any way
that the people may wish, either
by attending the county fair
which will be in progress, or view
ing the surrounding nountry.
One thing is absolutely certain
that is that Rawlins and Saratoga
will show every person that at
tends the convention a royal good
time.
Mr.. Emery states that already
he has received promises from
people in Evanston, Rock Springs,
Cheyenne, Laramie, Douglas, Cas-
per and many other towns that
they will be over one hundred
automobiles on hand for this state
meet. Probably a hundred auto
mobile full Of people will be pre-
sent Al we'll as many others who
will travel by train.
The Good Roads question is at
present the livliest issue before
the people of the state and Raw
Inns is indeed lucky to be chosen
the city in which the state con-
vention will be held.
The roads leading to the city
are being fixed up in excellent
shape and every resident of the
county should aid in every pos
sible way the further improve
ment of these county roads.-kaw-

CHAUTAUQUA LECTURER MADE
had BREAK an sALTNA.

A fool lecturer in the chautauqua
at Salina last week had the bad
taste to attack J. r. Burton per-
sOnaily. Mr.. Burton was in the
audience and when the lecture was
ended stood an a chair and offered
few remarks himself. The lectur-
er's friends made a racket and finally
succeeded In breaking up the meet
ing. Such tactics do nobody any
good and are especially ont or place
on GhautauQua platform. Mr..
Burton Is said to be practically sure
of being elected to the legislature
from Saline county and every such
attack increases his chances.
