Is SO vitality interested in 1t that he
will do anything for the success cr
the fair, short of debating TO the
commission. He reviewed The past
fairs and declared that If Albuquer-
que does not want a fair he must
feel that lie has in some way failed TO
do az much as he should.
The economic and advertising adj
vantages of state fair were pointed
out by the state executive, who de-
clared that the placing into competi-
ton of the people of the state and the
products from the various sections had
most beneficial effect.
/ Speaking of the fair commission,
the governor said that while he Is
convinced that as a matter of policy
Il is best to appoint the three COM
missioners from different localities,
he Is willing to appoint two from this
city this year if that will mean any
thing in the way of furthering the
success of the fair. He touched upon
the advantages Of majority rule. but
called attention to the fact that the
best laid plans of majorities are some
times overturned.
Vote Taken on Fair.
The real essence of the governors
short talk was the necessity Of the
citizens of the city standing together
for the fair and with the fair COM
mission. He was applauded many
times during his talk and at the end
concluded by remarking that the city
must desire a fair. or else so many
people would not be out for the fair
meeting
At this roint President Cushman put
the question as to whether a fair Is
desired in Albuquerque this year, ana
the vote Went with a whoop, no one
voting in the negative. At this june
ture Mr.. Schueler introduced his song
and slogan, and the crowd took il up
with vim.
Governor Mcdonald then stated
that he had brought with him an UNI
signed commission for the appoint
ment of Mr Putney to the commits
sion, that he wanted to sign ii and
that he was convinced personally and
by the long petition that came to him
asking Mr.. Putney's appointment that
lie had found the right man for the
job If he could be Induced to accept
the position.
NJ. 10. Hickey at that point made
motion that it was the sense OF the
that Mr.. Putney accept and
that q committee bring Mr. Putney
to the meeting that he might either
accept or decline. The mention OF
Mr.. Putney's name brought cheer
and the motion was soon carried and
the committee was ON its way to Mr..
Putney's home.
PutneS Brought to Meeting.
Suggestions as TO the betterment Of
the fair We're then received, with Sen
ator Barth lending some of his rare |
humor to the meeting and ending with !
a serious note and suggestion that the |
people of the city leave it to the COM |
to work out the salvation of |
the fair.
Here Mr.. Putney arrived and was |
met with warm reception. lie stat (
ed that he had thought a week ago |
that there was not enough sentiment |
in the city to warrant anyone attempt I
ing to put on successful fair, that 1
he had decided to come to the meet /
ing. after he had been telephoned to |
that Il committee would be after him |
and say that he would accept the
conditionally, but after /
looking over this crowd here and I
recognizing what it means for so |
many of you to be out tonight, have I
decided not to accept conditionally, I
put 10 accept now without any conui-
ton" This met the approval Of the I
large meeting, which cheered.
The new president pointed out that
the city has held thirty-fiye fairs; that
most of them have been successes He
that the 1915 fair would be a
success. one with which everyone will
be satisfied
Il am going to give some money I
for this fair, as are all of YOU" he
said. II want you to forget that you
have given in the past and have not
been satisfied. | want you to forget
what you gave last year when we
come to you tomorrow or next day.
We want you to think about what you
are going to give this year.
Save Kicks Until It's Over
We are going to put on a fair
1 humdinger, one in which every citi-
zen of the state can take pride. But L
)ne man cannot do it; a group of
men can not do it. 1t must be put
IN by all of you. Another thing, | II
want you to be satisfied with the Of
'icers the commission will choose; if
