fining so started out to make cam

the National Committee soon had him
on their list and sent him to many diff
ferent states. The following year he
received the nomination for governor
on the Republican ticket. and he msde

pr. J. w. Dixon Of Burlington Motor
Boat Club Wants Us to ceIe-
brate on Saturday instead
Of Monday.
TO BE A GRAND AFFAIR
Burlington IL Going to Considerable
Expense to Make the Regatta
One Of the Greatest
Ever.

The Burlington Launch Club wants
Keokuk to celebrate the National
holiday. which this year falls on sun
day, July 4. on the fifth and sixth at
that place. Since it was mentioned in
these columns several days ago that
an old time Fourth OF July celebra-
ton was to be held here, many bust
ness men OF the city have approved OF
the plan of having something doing
in Keokuk, either on the day before,
or the day after the Fourth which is
on Sunday.
Burlington would have us celebrate
on Saturday so that our celebration
would not detract from the graad
river regatta which is to be held at
that city on the fifth and sixth.
A Grand Affair.
To those who are not informed it.
must be said that the regatta ana
motor boat races which are to be held
at Burlington on those dates. is Ia be
one OF the grandest river pageants
and celebrations that has ever been
held on the Mississippi and Burlington
Is going to great expense to make the
affair decided success and nothing
but bad weather could put a dam
per on the enthusiastic spirits Of the
Burlington Launch Club members and
the hundreds of motor boat men and
visitors who will attend.
Keokuk will of course send her
usual large crowds to the celebration
at Burlington and as the distarce is
short, If Keokuk should decide to have
the Fourth celebrated on Saturday,
hundreds Of people could be counted
on to attend from this city.
The Keokuk Motor Boat club will of
course be strongly represented and
the mem hers Of that organizationtca can
be depended on to do their part and
are already doing much good advertis-
Ing among the citizens in general in
helping the Burlington affair to be
q success.
