PROCEEDINGS. 89 



Eighth. We most respectfully recommend to this Delegate Board that they 

 make it their individual business to see tUat the annual reports published by the 

 State Board of Agriculture each year, are placed in the hands of men in their re- 

 spective counties where they will do the most good. 



Ninth, We recommend that our State Legislature pass such laws as will pre- 

 vent, as much as possible, the adulteration of food and medicines, and provide 

 such penalties for the violation of the law as will serve to deter persons from en- 

 gaging in such practices. 



Tenth. We also endorse the idea of compelling all persons that are engaged in 

 the manufacture of any kind of goods by the employment of prison labor, to put 

 upon their goods such a brand as will enable them to distinguish it from that made 

 by free labor. 



Eleventh. We most heartily endorse the suggestion of granting to the Woman's 

 Department the entire control of the whole second floor of the Exposition Building, 

 believing that they can so manage the exhibits as to make it more interesting than 

 it has ever been before. 



Mr. Votaw — I suggest that two from the State Board and 

 one from the Delegate Board be appointed to co-operate with 

 Gen. Carnahan in making this display. 



Mr. Cumback — I would have one from the State Board, one 

 from the Delegate Board, and one for the Women's Depart- 

 ment. It is nothing but right that they should have an equal 

 chance at this money in order to carry on the display in their 

 department. 



Dr. Furnas — Dakota received $40,000 to carry on her display, 

 aiid Indiana has sent a Commissioner there with just enough 

 to get defeated. I would like for Indiana to make an appro- 

 priation of 115,000. 



On motion of Mr. Chamberlain, the convention proceeded to 

 nominate candidates for members of the Board proper from the 

 5th, 6th, 7th, 9th, 10th, 11th, 12th and 13th districts. The fol- 

 lowing named gentlemen were placed in nomination: 



Fifth Dhtrict — W. A. Greer, Dearborn county; T. W. W. Sunman, Eipley 

 county. 



Sixth District — Dick Jones, Bartholomew county; Will Cumback, Decatur 

 county. 



Seventh District — W. H Keesling, Henry county; J. L. Carson, Shelby county;
