in his behalf that the men whose In

CAN FARGO Land
THE CONVENTION?
WITH PROPER ENCOURAGEMENT
FROM COMMERCIAL, LOOKS
LIKE FARGO WOULD BE ABLE
TO FREEZE ONTO THE 1917
MEET OF THE u. C. r.

If the Fargo council of the United
} Commercial Travellers association get
| the proper encouragement FROM the
| commercial club and business men OF
this city there is every reason for
| believing that Fargo can get the big
! convention for next year. The local
| council would like to have the COM
| vent!on. but unless they get substan-
tial encouragement 1t will be pretty
hard matter TO handle. Those who
were members of the co lncil and took
part In making the arrangements for
the 1901 convention which was held
here will remember the trials and vex-
ations that beset the council at that
time. The members in the council alone
subscribed nearly if not quite $1,000
for entertainment purposes and they
gave the 1000 visitors a good time
while they were here, but it took the
council nearly year to recover from
the drain on the treasury. 1t is esti-
mated that there will be fully $500
| travellers and their ladies attend the
next reunion ana convention, and it is
reasonable TO suppose that fully as
many II not more wou come TO
Fargo in June, 1911. IL the convention
Is held here. Fargt the talk ard
wonder OF the northwest and those
who have never CT here will
want TO see the city. while those who
have been here will want to come
again.
There is probably no other means In
the world that will so effectually ad-
vertise Fargo a. just such conventions
as the travellers have been holding
from year to year. Al first the con-
ventioas were held only two days. but
now they continue prac -4cally for four
days. II the matter is reported on
favorably by the commercial club of
the city OF Fargo and good adver-
Using at that for every one of the
1000 or 2,000 travellers would be ask
ing each other from time to time, /
Are you going TO the convention at |
Fargo?" This would lead up to all |
kinds of talk. and this talk would be |
going from now until June. 1911. The |
Fargo council wants the convention, |
and according t. the members II |
should be assisted In the work by all !
classes of people. The council here
would not be getting a cent out of the /
affair. but on the other hands would i
have to dig down In the treasury and
produce much money to help OCT in
the work.

GOVERNOR MAY B APPOINT DEMOCRAT
SUCCESSOR TO ANDY GATES LIKELY TO COME FROM
 OPPOSITE PARTY,

Hartford, Sept. 2s.-It is quite pos s1ble that Governor Weeks may ap- point democrat to the Board of Railroad Commissioners in the place of Andy Gates, who has just re- signed. This would give him an op- portunity to restore minority repre- gestion may be carried out. At pres ent, however, no names have been mentioned in connection with this position.
 For many years, before the ap- polntnent Of MT. Gates on the com mission by Governor Roberts, one of the members of the commission was a democrat. The law did not require a minority representation on the board, but successive republican gov ernors recognized the wisdom of hay represented on it. The last democra- tic member of the board was the late Congressman Washington F. Wilcox of Chester. The law requires that lawyer. and it was the time-honored custom to have the commissioner who was learned in the law chairman but this was disregarded when Governor Roberts appointed Mir. Gates.
 The statement was made yesterday by those who are pretty close to Gov ernor Weeks that his exce11ency is disposed to favor the view that the democratic party is entitled to a rep resentation on the board and that the public would be more likely to commission if the commissioners did not all belong to the same political party.
 It is expected that on the public utilities commission, which will super sede the, board of railroad commits sioners, there will be a minority rep resentation. It is believed that Gov ernor Weeks would appoint a demo- crat to the position if he could secure a democrat who would have the nee essary qualifications for the public utilities commission.

Only Woman Auto Agent.

Mrs. Florence Reessing of New York
is said to be the only woman automo-
bile broker in the United States. Up
to the time she became an agent for
automobiles she was known along the
white lights of Broadway as ''the
lady with the blue hanson" Her
husband lost his fortune and his
health. Mrs. Reessing happened to
make the sale Of an automobile to
Mrs. Charles NJ. Schwab, the steel
magnate's wife, at good commission.
This so encouraged her that she de
cided to keep up that line. Now she
may be seen almost any day demon
strating autos in New York. She does
her own driving. When prospective
customer comes along Mrs. Reessing
takes him into machine and ''chauffs"
away up Riverside drive She is
big, handsome woman, with golden
hair and brown eyes. She declares
that she has more trouble with wo-
men than with men. When she sells
a machine to man, she says, his wife
is almost sure to come around and say
she wants q car of another pattern or
color; she won't have a blue car-her
heart is set on red or green. So Mrs.
Reessing sometimes has to make a
resale or lose the sale altogether, she
says, just because of woman's within.
every woman can do anything she
really puts her mind to-" Mrs. Rees-
sing said recently, land make sue
cess of it. That is because women put
their minds more seriously and at
tentfvely than do men," What do you
think about it? Mrs. Reessing thinks
women in smaller communities could
take up automobile agencies and earn
good incomes. Try selling car to your
next door neighbor.
