NATIONAL CHAIRMAN HILLES AND CROWD GATHERING AT COLISEUM
VOL. 32. NO. 23
HE sixteenth national convention of the Republican party, which
mcclellan in the Consul in Chicago, go on June 7, will be one of the most interesting and exciting gatherings ever held by that party. Excitement will be intensified because of the uncertainty of the nominee. When the first ballot is taken there will be a dozen men voted for, any one of whom may subsequently be the fortunate one. It is conceded that all of these have a chance, some better than others.
Another thing that tends to add interest is the attitude of the Progressive party. The split of 1912 is vividly recalled. Will the two factions get together this year, or will there again be a third ticket?
The history of this split is well known. Theodore Roosevelt, who had served one term of his own and three and a half years of McKinley's second term after the latter's assassination, unqualifiedly indorsed William H. Taft, then secretary of state, for president in 1908. Mr. Taft was overwhelmingly elected.
Break Four Years Ago.
The convention of 1912 approached Roosevelt was then an avowed candidate. While he had not served two complete terms, the third term argument against naming him was raised. A bitter fight over seating the contested delegations was raised. Finally a majority of delegates with Taft proclivities were seated and the voting started. On the first ballot Taft received 561 votes and Roosevelt 107. A few others were scattered between Hughes of New York, La Follette of Wisconsin and Cummins of Iowa. However, there were 344 delegates who, vexed at the manner the contests had been settled, refused to vote for any candidate.
Colonel Roosevelt then organized the Progressive party, was declared the nominee for president and in the election the following November received a larger popular vote than did Taft, the nominee of the regular Republican party. The vote then was as follows: Woodrow Wilson, Democrat, 6,238,019; Theodore Roosevelt, Progressive, 4,119,507; William H. Taft, Republican, 3,484,956. Wilson received 435 votes in the electoral college, Roosevelt 88 and Taft only 8.
This was the birth of the Progressive party, which may be amalgamated with the Republicans again at the approaching Chicago convention or which may continue to exist and again name a third candidate. It will hold a convention in Chicago, also opening on June 7.
The Republican convention of 1860 was one of the most exciting and surprising ever held. Long before the convention met it was seen that the contest very likely lay between Lincoln and Seward. All the free and border states, with the addition of Texas, were represented. The first two days were taken up with seating the delegates and adopting a platform; on the third the candidates were formally presented without speeches. Seward was popular, and his cause was superbly managed by Thurlow Weed, one of the shrewdest politicians the country has produced. But there was a growing feeling that, much as he deserved of the party, Seward could not carry such doubtful states as Pennsylvania and Indiana. On the morning of the third day Weed, in attempting a Seward demonstration, was outwitted. He planned a monster parade in Seward's behalf. While his adherents were parading the streets the Lincoln managers packed the enormous Wigwam, where the convention was held, with their sympathizers. It was a bold stroke, and it gave the Lincoln cause the powerful aid that an enthusiastic audience alone can give. As the balloting proceeded every vote for Lincoln was cheered to the echo.
Seward led on the first two ballots, but on the second his gain was but 10, while Lincoln, largely through Pennsylvania's support, gained 75. While the third ballot was being counted a hush fell on the convention. It was known that Lincoln was either nominated or very close to it. The count showed him to be but two and a half votes short of a majority, with 231½ votes, 180 for Seward and 50 scattering.
At this juncture Chiefman Carter of the Ohio delegation mounted a chair and called out, "I rise to announce the change of four votes from Ohio from Mr. Chase to Abraham Lincoln." As soon as it was realized that this gave Lincoln the nomination an uproar broke forth. An immense charcoal likeness of Lincoln was unrolled from the rear gallery, and the entire audience and convention, with the exception of the New York delegation, indulged in the wildest enthusiasm for some minutes. When order was restored there were other changes that gave Lincoln a total of 354.
When the Republican convention convened at Cincinnati in 1876 Blaine was thought to have a safe majority of the delegates surely for him. As a matter of fact, he did receive the votes of a majority of the delegates, but not on any one ballot. Many delegates were held by instructions or other complications from registering their real wishes, and there was probably not a moment when, had they all been free to act as they chose, he could not have received a large majority.
The speech of Robert G. Ingersoll placing Blaine in nomination will go down in history as a most eloquent example of convention oratory. When the speaker finished the stirring tribute to the "plumed knight" even the opponents of the Maine statesman were stirred to enthusiasm in spite of themselves. The audience and delegates rose as one man, those who bore instructions for other candidates vying with Blaine's most steadfast supporters in paying him the compliment of unrestrained appease. If a ballot had been reached that day it is doubtful if any power could have prevented Blaine's nomination. It was at this critical juncture that some of the cooler headed of the anti-Blaine leaders resorted to extreme tactics to save the day. They had the gas clandestinely cut off from the convention hall, so that when night came on adjournment was forced by the darkness.
Overnight the opposing forces regained their equilibrium and struggled desperately for delay. The key to the situation was held by the Pennsylvania delegation, which, under the head of Simon Cameron, one of Blaine's bitterest opponents, was instructed to vote for Governor Hartranft. At the end of the second day of balloting Cameron realized that he could not hold the delegates in line much longer. He therefore proposed that the delegation should continue to support Hartranft only so long as his vote increased. When it fell off they were to be free to vote as they chose. The Blaine members of the delegation eagerly accepted this apparently favorable proposal. Cameron, however, who knew arguments that would go with the southern carpet bag and negro politicians, arranged to have Hartranft's vote increase slightly on each ballot. By this method Hartranft's vote was maintained until the break to Hayes as a compromise candidate came on the seventh ballot.
Grant and Third Term.
When the Republican national convention met at Chicago on June 2, 1880, more than three-quarters of the delegates were found to be almost equally divided into two political camps. The two leaders whom they supported were General Grant. who

was a candidate for a third term, and James G. Blaine, who had been a leading candidate in 1876. The two forces were completely organized and ably led, Roscoe Conkling being in charge of the Grant forces, while Senator Hale marshaled the Blaine cohorts. Grant's opponents were fully realizing that in view of the remarkable manifestation of popularity which had been accorded him since his return in the previous fall from a tour of the world, their best ground of attack was the opposition, to a third term. All attempts to get him to commit himself early in 1880 had been answered by the terse declaration, "I will neither accept nor decline an imaginary thing." His supporters took heart, however, and when the convention met it was evident that his followers were confident of winning.
Conkling adopted a truculent and arrogant attitude in the convention proceedings from the very start that stung the Blaine leaders to anger and destroyed all possibility of compromise. His first act in the convention was a play to the galleries and at the same time a studied insult of the Blaine faction. He moved a resolution binding the delegates to support the nominee of the convention, whoever he might be, thus showing a pretended distrust of the Blaine following. The resolution was adopted, but the debate upon it made him so unpopular with the supporters of all the other candidates that it really made the hope of obtaining recruits for Grant in other directions impossible.
Garfield Picked Out.
Conkling's next move was to attempt to force the unit rule on the convention by which he would have been able to cast New York's entire vote for Grant. As it then stood the delegation was divided 51 for Grant, 17 for Blaine and 2 for Sherman. James A. Garfield, chairman of the committee on rules, reported adversely on this proposal and defended his position so ably and eloquently as not only to defeat Conkling's move, but to make Garfield himself a marked man, to whom the convention could enthusiastically and grately turn when tired out with the hopeless struggle. Garfield's closing words in defining his position in opposition to the unit rule, that he stood his ground because he believed it "to be everlastingly right," not only carried the convention with him in the ensuing vote, but recurred to them with new force when his name came before them as a candidate later on. Conkling's nominating speech was a masterly example of convention ora-
tory, ranking almost on a plane with Ingersoll's speech of four years earlier. Its opening phrase, "When asked whence comes our candidate, our sole response will be he halls from Appomattox and its famous apple tree," caught the fancy of the galleries and aroused enthusiasm, but it was very near doggerel. At one of the evening sessions a demonstration in Grant's behalf was started that precipitated a full half hour of ear breaking enthusiasm, during which the audience broke into song, bands played, and Conkling, standing on a chair in the center of the New York delegation, slowly waved the state banner back and forth. Scarcely had this tumult died down when a handsomely dressed woman leaped to the pedestal of a statue of Liberty on the platform and waved a red parasol wildly. Then she caught up the flag and, winding it about her, called for cheers for Blaine. They were given with a spirit and vim that matched that for Grant a few minutes earlier. When the watches recorded the fact that the Blaine demonstration had lasted five minutes longer than that for Grant it subsided suddenly. Grant led on the first ballot with 304 votes to 284 for Blaine, 93 for Sherman, 31 for Washburne and 30 for Dundes. After thirty-five ballots had

been taken with little or no change the convention be weary. When, therefore, the Wisconsin delegation after a caucus decided by a few votes to throw their support to Garfield it was a signal for the stumped which made Garfield the nominee and ended the most dramatic convention struggle in American history.
Harrison's Shouters.
"I am a Republican. I belong to the grandest political body ever organized by the human race"—This was as far as he was allowed to proceed in the last speech Colonel Robert Ingersoll ever made in a national convention. The Republicans had gathered in Chicago in 1888 either to nominate James G. Blaine or Benjamin Harrison. Blaine was coaching in Scotland with Andrew Carnegie. The convention decided to offer him the nomination by cable and take a recess until a reply was received. This was about noon. There were fully 12,000 people in the big auditorium, and they made it plain that they wanted to hear from some of the leading Republican orators. It was decided to gratify their wishes. Frederick Douglass, the negro orator, was the first speaker, and what he said was highly pleasing to the crowd. He spoke for nearly thirty minutes.
While he was speaking the Harrison managers observed Colonel Ingersoll seated on the platform. He was there in the interests of Walter Q. Gresham of Indiana, Harrison's most formidable opponent. Only the preceding day there had been a very impressive "full dinner pall" parade for Gresham by Chicago workingmen. Here was a dilemma. Every man in the convention hall knew of Ingersoll's skill as an orator. Probably every one of them had read his famous "plumed knight" speech in which he placed Gresham's nomination at Cincinnati in 1876. To permit him to speak now, even though he should mention Gresham's name only incidentally, would be to imperil Harrison's chances. The Harrison leaders held a hurried consultation and dispatched runners to all parts of the building with instructions to stop Ingersoll at all hazards. When Douglass concluded there were cries of "Ingersoll" "Ingersoll" "Deliberately the colonel took his place in front of the rostrum. He was given a wildly enthusiastic greeting. While the cheering was in progress he stood calmly wiping his big bald head awaiting the restoration of order. The crowd seemed to feel that something unusual was about to happen. It was an anxious moment for the Harrison cohorts. Ingersoll surveyed his great audience slowly and then in a strong, rich voice, each word carefully measured, spoke the two sentences quoted above.
The effect was electric. Seventeen words had literally swept the audience off its feet. Every man and every woman stood up and cheered. There were three minutes perhaps of genuine applause. Then when it began to subside the Harrison claquers would renew the cheering. These tactics were continued for five minutes. Ingersoll attempted to resume his speech. Immediately his voice was drowned by the noise, which proceeded mainly from the floor of the convention hall. Each time the colonel tried to speak the uproar was renewed. At last, after at least half a dozen fruitless attempts to proceed, he retired in disgust. A motion to adjourn until 4 o'clock in the afternoon was declared carried by the chairman. When the convention reconvened a cabelgram from Blaine declining the nomination was read, and Harrison was named.
New Method of Making Bread
A new method of making bread has been adopted in Italy. It is found that 680 pounds of grain produce 880 pounds of what is termed "natural bread." In the process the grain is sifted and washed. It is then left for from forty-eight to sixty hours in a warm bath, where it germinates and begins to sprout. When the germinating process has gone far enough the grain is crushed in a machine and made into dough, which is passed into the oven.
Eleven Cents Grow to $3.78
In 1864 Charles J. Davis, then living in Baltimore, had an account with a savings bank, but, intending to move to Cecil county, drew most of his money, leaving a balance of 11 cents. He thought no more about it until a few days ago, when he found the bank book. Out of curiosity he wrote to the bank and received a check for $3.78.
The Price of Liberty [Elihu Root in Leslie's.]
We have enjoyed liberty and order so long that we have forgotten how they came. Our people assume that they came as the air comes. They have assumed that they will of their nature and by their own force continue forever without effort. Ah, no! Liberty has always been born of struggle. It has not come save through sacrifice and the blood of martyrs and the devotion of mankind. And it is not to be preserved except by jealous watchfulness and stern determination always to be free. That eternal vigilance is the price of liberty is so much a truism that it has lost its meaning, but it is an eternal truth.

Georgia will send two complete sets of delegates to the Republican national convention, and both will go uninstructed. They are:
Jackson wing—Henry S. Jackson, of Atlanta; A. M. Barnes, of Thomson; Henry Lincoln Johnson, colored, of Atlanta, and B. J. Davis, colored, also of Atlanta.
Johnson wing—Walter H. Johnson, of Columbus; Henry Blun, of Savannah; J. W. Lyons, colored, of Augusta, and H. A. Rucker, colored, of Atlanta.
Louisiana white and colored Republicans will send contesting delegations to Chicago conventions. The lily-whites met and elected twelve delegates. The colored men appeared at the Gruenwald Hotel and demanded admission, but were refused by the hotel management saying that colored men could not participate in conventions in that hostelry. The colored men charge that this was the ruse by which the lily-whites barred them. They will send a full delegation.
Colored men were eliminated as voting factors in the Texas Republican convention at Fort Worth, Tex., Monday.
Contests over seating of delegates, in which the race question was predominant, occupied the convention throughout the day and made a night session necessary for the election of delegates to the national convention.

Contests over the six delegates at large from Alabama and one from the ninth congressional district of the same state were filed with Secretary Reynolds, of the Republican national committee, today. This brings the total number of contested delegates up to 54. The national committee will begin hearing the contests June 1st.
The stock fight over "restriction of the South" is being staged for the Republican national convention. The Southern States, led by Texas, are reported to be preparing for a battle to have their voting strength restored to the vogue in 1912. Some of the western states are making ready for an effort to have the delegate strength of the south pruned down still further. By a rule of the Republican national committee adopted since the convention of 1912, the southern states have lost a total of 91 votes. For district delegates they are allowed one delegate for each congressional district and two delegates for each district that polls at least 7,500 Republican votes.
On this basis the convention June 7 will have 985 votes. In 1912 the convention voting strength was 1,079. Thus there has been a decrease of 94 votes, three of which were lost

Delegates and alternates to the Republican national convention will be entertained as never before. Mayor Thompson's committee furthered their plans at luncheon yesterday. Among the features outstanding are: 1,000 automobiles to convey delegates around town; drills by 1,000 policemen and 500 firemen in Grant Park; fancy riding and cattle roping stunts by the Equestrian Club of the stockyards; fireworks and "the biggest ball ever given in the United States." It is proposed to hold it in the ballrooms of the downtown halls.
John C. Eversman, secretary of the Republican national congressional committee, has opened headquarters at the Congress.
Headquarters for residential candidates for the Republican National Convention have been opened at the Congress Hotel, according to an announcement by the management, as follows:
John W. Weeks of Massachusetts, in the Presidential suite, room 1,102, parlor floor.
Theodore E. Burton, Ohio, Elizabeth room, south end of Peacock alley.
Elihu roof, the palm garden, parlor floor, and J-22-24-26-28.
Charles Warren Fairbanks, Indiana, English room, near the gold ball room, and rooms A-6 and 8, adjoining.
Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman's headquarters in the gold ball room and the Illinois state delegation in the green room, will be opened Monday morning. The headquarters of Senator Cummins of Iowa, in the oak room, mezzanine floor, will be opened the first of next week.
Arrangements for the republican national convention are all being directed toward preparation for a pro-convention will open on Wednesday, longed deadlock that may carry the sessions through the week-end. The June 7, and every step in the preparations was taken with a view to a long grind of roll calls.
The lease on the Coliseum holds the building for convention purposes until the convention adjourns," and the preparedness for a long session is being made so complete that a delegates are being upholstered to make the tedium of a deadlock more easy to endure.
Senator Boies Penrose's victory in the Pennsylvania primary, although unofficial returns indicate that he may not have a solid delegation behind him, strengthened materially the hand of the old guard and assures them control of the republican national convention.
Some see in the Penrose victory at the same time a strong possibility that Phelander C. Knox, former secretary of the pre-communist general and United States senator, will have to be re-ckoned with in the selection of republican candidate for president.

HON. FRED W. UPHAM.
‘Chairman of the Chicago Committee of Arranaements for the
AN UNHOLY ALLIANCE,
There is always rejoicing in hell
when the South succeeds.
The regions of the damned were the
scene of great hilarity when the word
was passed around that the Southern
plan of reuniting the Methodist church
north and the Methodist church south
had been unanimously approved, “with
a display of emotion without a parallel
in many general conferences.” ;
‘The plan favors the segregation of
the colored membership in “special
conferences” and as the vote was ac-
cording to the press dispatches, unant-
mous, it seems that not one of the
many colored delegates had the man-
hood to make a protest against the
unholy, ungodly plan.
Thus seventy-one years after the
Methodist Episcopal church split on
the slavery-question, the hypocritical
northern branch welcomes back the
church south over the prostrate body
of its colored membership. It that is
Christianity the writer prefers to be
damned.
‘The Methodist church fought. slav.
ery with zeal in 1844, the general con-
ferences by resolution ordered a
bishop who held slaves to refrain from
exercising his episcopal function until
he had washed his hands of slavery.
The Southerners were so infurlatéd
by this action that the Methodist Epis
copal church south was organized in
Louisville, Ky., in 1845,
In agreeing to draw the color line
on its colored membership the Metho
dist church is following the lead of
other so-called Christian bodies in the
United States. The alleged Chris
tans are defying God, but He is not
mocked.
The probable eventual solution ot
the color line in religion will be the
introduction of Mohammedanism intc
the United States. Islam PRACTICES
the doctrine of the “Fatherhood ot
God and the Brotherhood of Man”. and
welcomes all men to its folds. And
of the Methodist bishops, Bishop Hart
zell has declared that the Moham:
medan negroes in Africa are superior
in every way to those who have em
braced Christianity and this in the
face of the fact that he was laboring
zealously to propagate Christianity,
WOULD ABOLISH THE HYPHEN.
Universal service in military train
ing camps as an aid toward American.
izing the immigrant has been sug.
gested by G. Bernard Anderson, Swed-
ish vice-consul at Chicago. Here is
what Mr. Anderson says:
“I think immigrants will get more
of the American spirit by serving for
some weeks side by side with born
Americans than by being lectured or
instructed. It would bring men to-
gether in @ common movement.
“{ do not really favor the holding of
meetings in which the difference be-
tween American born citizens and nat-
uralized citizens is emphasized. In
fact, I feel that we ought to get rid
of the hyphen in America at once and
for all time. Any meeting in which it
ig a part of the program calls atten-
tion to it. I do not really favor any
reference to the term Swedish-Ameri-
can. I think every man who came
from Sweden ought to forget the hy-
phen. It is true that those who come
from Sweden have many tender recol-
lections of the old country and also
that they are among the quickest to
adopt American ways fully and com-
pletely. For the latter reason I should
like to see the Swedish part of the
term dropped. I think it would be
Groped quickly, too, were it not for
some men who try to make political
capital out of it by playing to the
so-alled ‘hyphenated’ vote.
“Foreigners in America should be
quietly made Americans through edu:
cational method, by patriotic concerts
in the parks and patriotic meetings on
occasions of national moment, The
group meetings should be discour
aged.”
Mr. Anderson is right. People who
come here and become citizens ought
to drop the hyphen and become Ameri.
cans in fact. And if this is true how
much more important is it that people
‘who are born in the United States
should reject any proposals to set
them ‘apart in groups for any reason
or purpose whatsoever.
‘The colored people aré citizens for
tifled by ten generations of residence
}and they should shun any schemes
which segregate them in any way.
;Such plans, no matter how alluring,
they may seem are un-American,
dangerous and damnable.
‘The $600,000 raised in Chicago for
the relief of the Jewish sufferers in
the European war was contributed by
the Jews themselves. The Christians
did not give one per cent of the

signed the appeal did not give any
money. William Randolph Hearst,
whose newspapers probably caused
the lynching of Leo Frank in
Georgia, gave $1,000, but Bill will
get that back in a single day from
his Jewish advertisers,

WALLER AGAINST “NEGRO” | ored race through the mass and by
Noted Brooklyn Doctor Says It Causes
Mental and Physical Segregation.
(From Amsterdam News.)
Editor Amsterdam News:
Sir: I cannot too heartily congratu
late you on a recent editorial discour
aging the use of the word “Negro.”
‘There is no greater delight enjoyed by
the white people of the United States
today than the spreading use of this
unfortunate term. Why? They real
ize that It 1s the most potential fac
tor at work at the present to bring
about both a physical and mental
segregation of the people of color. It
use is on the increase only because
our speakers and writers, especially
Do Bois and Washington feel that its
repetition, ad nauseam, is necessary tc
retain the good will of the masses. The
term “Negro” ts not only absurdly in
Accurate as applied to millions of col
ored people, but it is also alarminly
injurious, ‘for the following reasons:
@. It has never stood historically o
in the present, anywhere in the world
for anything noble or uplifting. "Most
high-grade Africans repudiate it.
b. In Africa and out of Africa it was
never applied to the higher types, but
to Guineas, Sudanese and Senegam
Dlang only.

Southern whites for two centuries

about an unworthy or criminal man
or woman of the race. For when he
speaks of the worthy he invariably
says “colored.”

Hates the Term “Negro.”
“I hate the term Negro because it
is being used in terms of hatred. It
is the cause of the segregation of the
Negro; it is being used in contempt
in public places; it is an excuse for
disfratichising him; and it is an ex-
cuse for lynching’ him. Only one-
tenth of one per cent of the colored
people in America can trace their
descent to Africa, and there is no
more right to call all colored people
Negroes than to cail all white people

who have had no such contact, but
who have come into intimate and’ sym-

donot ‘know, or, knowing, do not
enter into and appreciate; they know

only respect and sympathy can bring
out; they know possibilities to which
others by their very acquaintance are
blinded. If those who know the col.

Dear Sir:
I came to Crookston about twelve years ago, and one of the first men go acquainted with was Elias Steenemann, who is a candidate for Railroad and Warehouse Commissioner on the Republican ticket at the primaries on June nineteenth.
I am a man of many years and long experience, and for these twelve years I have lived in Crookston. I have worked for him off and on, and have dealt with him in a business way. He is an able and upright man; we have become fast friends. He is a kind-hearted and accommodating man, a friend of the colored people, whom I hope will show their appreciation by giving him their votes for the office he aspires, and which I know he is well qualified to fill.
Very truly yours,

W. T. FRANCIS
Who Has Filed for the Legislature
Last Monday evening, pursuant to
a call published in THE APPEAL,
a general mass meeting of men and
women was held at Union Hall in
the interest of W. T. Francis, our
candidate for the legislature of
Minnesota. The hall was well filled and
the enthusiasm was unbounded. Mr.
B. C. Archer, chairman of the Boosters'
Committee, called the meeting to
order and Mr. A. J. Roberts presided. Rev. B. N. Murrell offered
prayer and also spoke at some length.
Excellent speeches were made by
Messrs. R. M. Johnson and James
H. Loomis. Mr. Charles H. Miller
sand an original song as follows:
BOOST FOR BILLY.
(Tune of Chinese Blues.)
Colored men, Colored men,
Don't throw your votes away.
Colored men, Colored men,
Francis is in the race to stay.
One more true race loving man,
Who measures up all right,
If our brothers in white,
Will lend aid in the fight,
Our votes will win the day.
(Chorus.)
Sure's you're born, sure's you are born
Into the legislature hall he'll go,
Race loving men, let us open the do.
And tell our neighbors to let him in.
Every man talk and boost until you
land him in.
Americans—we point with pride to
you

On the Mexican shore.
All we want is a fair, square equal

The principal speaker, was B. S.
Smith, Esq., of Minneapolis, who
made one of his characteristic up-to-
the-minute speeches full of vim, vigor
and virginity.
The presence of the large crowd
of ladies including members of the
Suffragette club was quite inspiring.
Of course, Mr. Francis made a splendid speech that pleased his audience, who applauded loudly and enthusiastically.
Every one present pledged himself
or herself to "boost for Billy" and
the men agreed to register themselves and see that their neighbors
and friends registered next Monday.

The Latest Addition to the Professional Circles of Minneapolis.
Dr. W. Ellis Burton, a former resident of St. Paul, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. L. Burton, who also formerly resided in the Saintly City, has opened a modern dental office at 715 Sixth avenue North, Minneapolis, Minn.
Dr. Burton is a graduate of the Northwestern University Dental School, Chicago, one of the best in this country, and with such training as he received, he is qualified to give the best dental service to his patrons. Also a graduate of Knoxville College, Chicago, Tenn., having pursued his studies there during the time he and his parents resided in St. Paul.
Being fully cognizant of the progress of science as applied to his profession this young man has made every effort to fit himself in the best

way possible to serve the needs of the
community, the importance of modern dentistry.
Dr. Burton stood high in the list of successful applicants before the State Board of Examiners, which shows that his knowledge and skill is beyond question; and, there is every reason to believe that he will be successful in his practice.
Dr. Burton availed himself of the opportunities of obtaining the best in the line of his chosen field with several of the dental organizations of Illinois as well as those of the school of which he is a graduate. He has given much time to clinics and demonstrations, believing he should bring the best to his patients in the best possible way, in view of which he is preparing a series of lectures on the importance of dentistry in connection with good health, which he will deliver in the near future in the Twin Cities.
