 Attorney Kenyon will act in his stead. 



Mr. Kenyon: Ladies and Gentlemen and Members of the Iowa State 

 Dairy Association: I want to apologize to you for not coming here this 

 morning prepared to welcome you in the way you should be, but I was 

 only notified a few hours ago and have had no time to think of what I 

 would say to you. Nevertheless, I am here to welcome you in behalf of the 

 city of "Waterloo, and no matter how I may express this welcome, I assure 

 you it is most sincere. I am here as an agent of the mayor to turn over 

 the proverbial keys to the city and to apprise you of the fact that our 

 doors stand wide open. They were taken off their hinges and will not be 

 replaced until next Sunday night. Waterloo has the reputation of being 

 a convention city, and we hope that we will treat you this time in a way
