Call for Republican businessmen to audit Yakima State Fair finances
A North Yakima letter from October 24 1900 asks the Yakima Commercial Club governing board to appoint three Republican business leaders to examine the state fair commission. It asserts transparent books, no compensation for commissioners, lower costs under current management, and pending debts resolved, with claims about specific individuals and roles and a request to hand over all commission books for inspection.
