The published object of the National Fair Association is to further per¬ fect this system, as well as to eliminate the factor of graft and hold-up that had inevitably crept in. It will not tolerate the secretary who expects a handout from each attraction he engages. Therefore, if the officers of the National Fair Association themselves, during succeeding electl<>n8, shall be invariably men chosen for their Integrity as well as their ability, the insti¬ tution is going to be of the greatest influence for the good of fairs In general that has ever been witnessed.
