It will be necessary for that committee to get to work at once. 



LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEE. 



E. M. Wentworth, 

 Wilbur Marsh. 

 W. B. Barney, 

 G. L. McKay, 

 H. J. Nietert, 



I wish to make a statement in regard to this legislative com- 

 mittee and that is that I have not recognized the biittermakers 

 on that for this reason, that we have to have men on that com- 

 mittee who can go to Des Moines when necessary. I under- 

 stand the difficulty the buttermakers have in getting away, and 

 if there was a buttermaker on that committee it might be so that 

 it would be impossible for him to leave his work at the time 

 when he was needed. That is llie reason I have not put the 

 buttermakers on the legislative committee. 



Vice-President W. B. Barnay took the chair. 



The Chairman : Our constitution provides for the election 

 of officers at this time and we will therefore proceed at once 

 to do that. The first officer to be elected is the president of your 

 association for the coming year. Nominations are now in 

 order; who will you have for your president?
