Mr. Young: I move that the present secretary be retained for 

 the ensuing year, Mr. Bacon of Davenport. 



Mr. Beckner : Second the nomination. 



The President : Are there any other nominations ? 



Mr. White : I move that nominations cease, that the rules be 

 suspended, and the secretary instructed to cast the vote of the as- 

 sociation for Mr. Bacon to succeed himself. 



Mr. Steward : Second the motion. 



Motion unanimously adopted. The president thereupon cast the 

 vote of the association for Mr. Bacon to succeed himself. 



The President : As to the district managers, they are appointed 

 by the executive committee. The officers get together and appoint 

 the district managers, so that we will not have that to do today. 



The next will be adjournment, and don't forget those of you who 

 have not procured your banquet tickets to get them. 



Motion made, seconded and adopted that the meeting adjourn 

 until banquet hour.

BANQUET HOUR. 

 Banquet. 



The Toastmaster : Please come to order ! We have at the head 

 of the table with us tonight the fellows who preside over the des- 

 tinies of the Iowa State Fair, the State Fair Board. I am going to 

 ask them to stand and we will sing a little verse to them to show 

 that we appreciae the services that they have rendered. W^ill the 

 State Fair Board please rise? (Applause.) 



Now, gentlemen, we also have with us a man at the head of the 

 table here who has been a friend of the fair secretaries of Iowa. He 

 has been a man that has helped us through on our state appropria- 

 tions and has fathered the bill known as the Santee bill. I am going 

 to ask ]\Ir. Santee to stand while we sing him *'How do you do, 

 Mr. Santee, how do you do?" (Applause.) 



As is customary, we have with us tonight a man who, of course, 

 will extend to us the keys of the city, etc., in the person of Mayor 

 Barton. I will now introduce you to Honorable Mayor Barton of 

 Des Moines. Mr. Barton. (Applause.)
