the campaign directed along this line
has been more than satisfactory, and
has given every reason to hope that

A couple of months ago we had the
state Y. M. c. A. convention. A little
later came the republican COMPRESSION.
al convention. Then came the north
Nebraska teachers. Next the bankers
Of northeast Nebraska came to town.
Shortly the state convention of the
U. c. T. will be here. Hard upon the
heels of that will come the state con-
vention of Eagles. North Nebraska
doctors and north Nebraska dentists
will be along in the summer and fail.
And in January comes the state con-
vention of volunteer firemen.
That is going some" in the matter
Of landing conventions. Norfolk has
been able to take care of all of them
in splendid manner. Every convention
advertises Norfolk. Every delegate in
every convention goes home to talk
about Norfolk and the impressions
gained here. Every convention is
worth while. The more conventions,
the more prominently will Norfolk be
brought before the people of the state.
Never has Norfolk had the pleasure
of entertaining so many conventions
as now. And the effort to secure more
and more of them should continue ag-
gressively.
