ing to what the agreement was, shut him out, but the individual that 

 comes onto your fair and says that this game is gambUng and you 

 have got to stop it, or you have got to prove that it is not, if that 

 fellow has got a permit from the attorney general's office you can 

 say "He has a permit and we cannot stop him," and it was my idea to 

 have him go to work and give a permit and then it would be up to 

 the man that goes out inspecting to see whether he is running on 

 the basis that he agreed. 



The Chairman : I believe it is twelve o'clock and we had better 

 adjourn for lunch. 



TUESDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1919, 2:00 P. M. 



The Chairman : Gentlemen, we will come to order now and pro- 

 ceed with our program. We have a big program for the afternoon 

 and it means we must hurry along to get through with it. We will 

 first listen to the report of the Credentials committee. 



Mr. Hofifman: In checking over the credentials of the different 

 fairs supposed to be represented, we find there are 78 fairs that are 

 members of this association and 16 that are not. Of the fairs join- 

 ing during the past year there was Audubon, Ogden and Jasper. 

 Of the old fairs that do not belong there are two left, Burlington 

 and Avoca, and Spirit Lake was to join during the year. Of the 

 new 1919 fairs that have joined the association there are Osceola 

 in Clarke county, Waukee in Dallas county, Hamburg in Fremont 

 county, Webster City in Hamilton county, Ottumwa in Wapello 

 county and Fort Dodge in Webster county. Of the different ones, 

 there are 78 paid up and 16 not paid up, therefore there are 78 peo- 

 ple here today entitled to a vote, and the secretary will call the roll 

 with regard to who they are. 



The Chairman : I don't believe it is necessary to take the time 

 for this roll call at this time. 



The Secretary : We will call the the list of those who have not 

 sent their credentials to the secretary and see if by some mistake 

 we have missed them. 



Secretary calls roll of absentees. 



If any of the fairs called have representatives here, pay your dues 

 and get your credentials in the parlor in here and we will appre- 

 ciate it very much.
