A few outsiders and they were very
few attempted to make some political
capital out of it, but their effort died
a'bornin'.
The same rule held good in the
election of officers. When President
Rudolph Lee made hisannual address,
he announced that he had held the
office two years and was not a candi-
date for reelection; in fact, he urged
that the office be passed around. And
when it came to choosing officers for
the next year the officers sought the
man in each case, the election of the
officers and members of the executive
committed being by acclamation.
The same good fellowship was
noticeable throughout the meeting.
The visiting editors appreciated
fully the many courtesies received at
the hands of the business and profess
sional men of Sauk Centre and went
home each man walking advertise
ment for this city.
The business meeting, held in X. P.
hall, opened at 2:3O and occupied most
of the afternoon. President Lee spoke
briefly, reviewing what had been done
by the association during the year
and half it has been in existence,
and predicting future that shall be
prolific of practical results to the

membership and to the territory re-
presented. The material interests of
this territory, said Mr.. Lee. are vast,
and the press has helped and will con-
tinue to help greatly in advancing
those interests.
The first topic for discussion, that
of Newspaper Advertising, was
handled ably by C.. H. Bronson of
Osakis, who is live wire in country
journalism and whose newspaper bears
evidence to the fact that the people
in his town believe thoroughly in ad-
yertising. The members of the associa-
tion were about divided in opinion as
to which was the better, Bronson's
paper or Bronson's physiognomy
minus the erstwhile ,hirsute adorn-
ments which used to flourish there.
But after the boys had become accus-
toned to seeing that smiling counte-
nance fresh from the barber they
didn't mind the change quite so much.
He had an excellent paper and the
discussion which followed was
sufficiently lively to satisfy those de-
string plenty of talk.
C. F. Scheers, the enterprising pub
Usher of the only paper in Akeley,
opened the discussion on the topic of
Sob Work, Prices and Methods"
Mr.. Scheers is practical printer OF
ample experience, and he elucidated
his subject in fine shape, illustrating
it with samples from the Herald
Tribune print shop. The discussion
brought out many good points. And
right here it is apropos to state that
the display of print shop products
was good, that from the Sauk Centre
Herald being very extensive, complete
and of high grade, eliciting many
compliments from the visiting news
paper men.
p. J. Vasaly of the Little Falls
Herald opened the discussion on the
subject of Newspaper Subscriptions"
offering numerous novel, entertaining
and valuable suggestions for increas-
ing the lists of the country newspaper.
General discussion followed, partici-
|pated in by ALL.
Alvah G.. Swindelhurst of the
Wadena Pioneer-Journal failed to
appear, so the topic assigned him,
Newspaper Bookkeeping, was pass
ed up, as the hour was growing late.
The election of officers followed.

Sauk Centre Meeting Is a Success
From Every Point of View, Say
Editorial Guests

The second annual meeting of the
North Central Minnesota Editorial
Association, held i'm Sauk Centre last
Friday, December 3, was a success.
While the attendance was not so large
as had been expected, yet considering
that this is busy time of the year
for country newspapermen, it was
quite gratifying.
In one respect the publishers were
disappointed. Gov. A. o. Eberhart.

address in the Opera House on the
subject "The Press as a Factor in
State Development, was held in ST.

Paul on account of the switchmen's
strike. The governor, who spoke in
Chicago on the evening of December
2, arrived in St. Paul on time the fol-
lowing morning fully intending to
come on to Sauk Centre to fill his en-
gagement with the publishers. But
the situation was so grave that pres
sure was brought to bear upon him to
remain at the capitol in the hope that
he might be able to do something to
relieve strike conditions.
The first word received here from
the governor that day came in the
form of a long distance telephone
from the governors executive clerk,
Mr.. Preuss, to A. M. Welles, the
member of the executive committee
of the association who had the local
arrangements i'm charge. Mr.. Preuss
explained the situation and expressed
the governors sincere regret at not
being able to come to Sauk Centre.
Later in the day the following tele-
gram was received:
ST, PAUL, MINI. Dec.'3
A. M. Welles,
Sauk Centre, Minn.,
Regret exceedingly that conditions
here are such as to require my
presence. Kindly convey my best
wishes to the association. l shall
be more than willing to serve you
when opportunity may present it
self.
A. o. EBERHART,
/. Governor
1t was great disappointment not
to have the governor here, but under
the circumstances the editors felt
that he did right in remaining at his
post of duty. People came in from
the country in the evening to hear
him speak and were greatly disappoint-
ed because he did not come. Those in
charge of the arrangements, however,
did the best they could under the
circumstances. t1
The meeting Of the association was
characterized by good feeling and a
desire on the part of all the members
to be helpful to each other. The sub
ject of politics was tabooed; fol
though country editors can play the
political game and play it successfully,
yet when they get together inbusiness
meetings, the fellow who attempts to
spring any allusion to politics is
promptly sat upon. It was not neces-
sary to sit upon any editor last Fri
day. sli.
The fact that the governor had ac-
cepted an invitation to address the
editors was not considered as other
than a result of desire of the mem
bers, Of the association, to meet the
new executive and to give the public
an opportunity to see and hear him.
