Cincinnati, Ohio Elect Friendly Solons, Exhibitors are Urged Kansas City — Organization of exhibitors for the purpose of heading off adverse legislation through election of friendly legislators was urged by Al Williams, general counsel for Associated Industries of Kansas, at the recent banquet of the M.P.T.O. Williams stated that one of the greatest needs was to safeguard against adverse legislation by taking an interest in the election of proper legislators. "Take some interest in seeing who is elected," said Williams, "so that you will have a friend at court when you need him." He stated that if the exhibitors would really organize and work together, they would get the same definite results that other industries have obtained in this manner. Hoffman Leaves for Coast M. H.
