 The recorded voice of convention. which become epidemic east and west at this session, the convention on ir- rigation, farming and conservation, re- form conventions and trade conven- tions of all kinds, now is being ground | out by the thousand pages in Chicago, which now is the stenographic center | of the country. Expert reporting has become specialized until one man, Alex. A. Norton of this city, is said to 'do' not less than 30 conventions in season beside protractetd hearings before judicial bodies. Other experts swell the total of typewriter pages to an astounding figure. Human endur- ance is taxed to the limit in this work, sometimes requiring continuous work of 24 hours and more. But nowadays the expert par excellence is a man who, emulating Julius Caeser. can dictate from his stenographic notes to two or three typewriter operators working simultaneously full speed Most of the big convention proceedings, however. are confided to graphaphone records and transcribed from them at the con venience of the typewriter opera tors who reel off as many as 90 pages an hour from the canned" remarks of speakers whose words were caught first in shorthand and then repeated to swift moving machine.
