Moral Support Given
The committee have received much
support and praise from the citizens
as well as business people of the
Twin Cities, in their efforts to put
over their purpose. They have la
bored strenously to achieve the de-
sired and their success, thus far, may
be attributed to their consistent ef-
forts.
The Auditorium is expected to
house the largest crowd OF race peo-
pie since its being built. Both nights
will be well attended, II preliminary
activities and interest prevail. The
success OF the race must embody
much commercial growth. The real
ization of this fact has prompted the
local body to work toward that end.
II there is doubt as to the worth OF
the race business men Of the Twin
cities, visit to the Exposition will
soon remove It. Monday night Mr..
D. Howell. President of the local
Business League. will push the but
ton which will oficially open the
grandest race Exposition In the his
tory Of the Northwest.
