The Immigration Convention a Grand
Success.

Success.
The immigration convention held at
Fargo December II and IS, was UNI
doubleday as successful and satisfactory
as any convention ever heldin the north
west. It was a large gathering of men
representing all parts of our state, and
all it's varied interests. It was unmarried
by personal jealousy or political ambi-
ton. The speeches made and papers
read were of a high class, and con-
tanned reliable interesting information
in the language Of the press sgood stuff
The gem Of all; admitted by all
who heard it, was that by Judge Bar
tholomew, ''The laws of the State, ''their
bearing on the settler and the immigrant.
1t should be, and will be published and
extensively circulated. Governor Allin
Ex-Governor Shortridge, Lieut.. Governor
Worst honored the convention with
their presence, and by brief addresses,
did much to and edify those
gathered there.
! Locally, Burleigh county has much to
be proud of. Her representation was
numerous, and kept right up to the
martial music.
Many representatives Of the north
western press were present and from the
matter gathered for publication, good
results will follow. sThey played no
holdup game'-on the contrary, earn
estly solicited information and the wires
were kept hot for the two days with con
v%ention items for the papers represented.
Smalley, Of the Northwest Magazine
was there: also Col. G. A. Lounsberry Of
the Record, and ex-Speaker Gill Of the
Dakota Agricultualist. You will hear
good reports from their next issues,
and all should try to procure them.
A state organization was formed.
Auxiliary COUNTY organizations will fol-
low. The cooperation Of all railroads
is assured by their representatives who
were there, and in all truth these rail
road boys are a brave band Of immigra-
ton workers.
Good results from the thorough work
now assured must certainly follow. It
is u time to gain the grand army of
faithful workers to the end that the
whole state and especially u section
and city shall be benefited. Let us
again declare 'sthat here shall be built
a city, the first in size, in beauty, in
wealth, good order, and good govern
ment in the new northwest"
I. P. Baker secured the post of honor
in the state organization without a dis
senting voice. Harvey Harris vas chosen
by our delegation as a member of the
state board Of directors and unani-
mously accepted by the convention. DR..
Bentley was made chairman Of our
delegation and got to the front in their
interest. His address was short, to the
point and we'll received. Vim. T. Per
kins was heard at the banquet. He
complimented President Cleveland on
his timely Monroe doctrine message,
and sounded the long roll to arms in
! WuAAAhS EoCJ 49, y uOSO 4NOW COn3 Su1CG
and serene, stood up to be counted on
all occasions and added influence to
Burleigh4county's delegation. Warden
Wilson carried the colors from the be-
ginning to the end and no dust soiled or
heel tread on our banner. Farmer
Wallace, in the words of the Forum,
with a big dash sstalked like a house
afre." The Major was conspicuous for
his absence during the convention-an INC
swhy?" was the query.
ssLet her go to the 'front.'
Fargo's citizens filled the hearts of
the guests with Joy by kind receptions
and attentions, and filed the inner
man with the best the world affords.
