in the newspaper business and that
was his chosen profession from his boy
hood days.
His first newspaper experience was
as q 'Cub Reporter" on The Chicago

by The Chicago American. He always

and became one of the best reporters
on The American.
In 1909, he successfully engineered
and another boys race around the

Chicago 40 days after the start. Before
severing his connection with it, he
served as day city editor, night
city editor and sporting editor and

rison, made no mistake in selecting
him as his private secretary; for he
possesses ability, experience and we'll
