Vacancies in Military Academies

Vacancies in Military Academies
The following communication from
Congressman Thos. D. Schall will be
of interest to any who are DESTROYS of
securing an appointment as midship-
man at the United States Naval Acad-
envy, or cadet in the Military Academy
at West Point:
81 am permitted to make nomina-
lions to fill two vacancies for midship-
men at the United States Naval Acad-
envy at Annapolis, and one vacancy
for cadet in the United States Military
Academy at West Point.
t;For each midshipman nominated I
am required to nominate three alter
mates and for each cadet nominated I
am required to nominate two alter
mates.
candidates for appointment as mid
shipmen and alternates must be be-
tween the ages of 16 and 20 years.
and candidates for cadet and alter
mates must be between the age of II
and % years, and all must be of good
moral character and be sound men
tally and physically. All candidates
must satisfactorily pass an examina-
ton in Punctuation, Spelling, English
Grammar, Geography, Arithmetic, u.
S. History, Algebra, Plane Geometry,
and candidates for appointment as ca
diets in addition to the foregoing sub
jects will be required to pass an ex-
animation in English Composition and
English Literature.
Because so many for these appoint
ments have applied to me for my rec
ommendation, in fairness to all of the
candidates in my district, and with the
view Of securing the most fitted young
men in this district who aspire to be
officers in the army and navy I have
decided to hold an examination for all
those who are residents of the dis
trict who are candidates for appoint
ment to either of the positions as mid
shipmen or to the position as cadet.
The examinations are to begin at 10
o'clock in the forenoon on the 18th
day of December, 1915, and continue
through the 10Th and 30th, and are to
be held at Room A, Old Central High
School building, located at 18th Ave..S.,
and 18th street, Minneapolis, and I
wish that candidates would bring with
them legal cap paper, pens, ink and
blotter. Mrs. B. C. Thayer will be in
charge of the examinations. In or
der that applicants will not go to the
trouble and expense of taking the
mental examinations and find that
later they are barred by physical de-
feet, would suggest that they present
themselves for physical examination
to the medical examiner located at the
Old Post Office building at Minneapo-
lis, Mimi. Such examination can be
had without charge to them by apply
ing to me for "a letter. "

DEMOCRATS Will
GATHER JUNE IA
St. Louis Secures Next Ma
tiond| Convention.
ADOPTS STRONG RESOLUTION

Committee Meets at Washington, Ap-
proves Administration of President
Wilson, Calls for His denomination
and Reelection and Praises His
Supporters in Congress.
Washington, Dec. S.-The Democrat
ic national convention of 1916 will be
held at St. Louis, beginning Wednes-
day, June IA, at noon.
The Democratic national committee
named the convention city and adopt
ed resolutions calling for the renomi-
nation and reelection of Woodrow
Wilson as "the trusted leader of ma.
tional Democracy"
Chicago and Dallas contested with
st. Louis for the honor of the con-
vention, but st. Louis easily led from
the start and won out on the second
ballot.
Political leaders in Washington re-
garded it as practically certain that
tChicago will be selected for the Re-
publican convention when the nation
al committee of that party meets here
next Tuesday. The date for this con-
vention probably will be late in June
Each of the three cities contesting
for the Democratic convention put in
q, bid of 100000.
The resolution endorsing the Will
son administration and the Democrat
ic members of the house and senate
who have helped to carry forward his
policies was adopted by a standing
vote. 1t follows:
Resolution Praises Wilson.
1--WE congratulate the country on
the splendid administration of Wood
row Wilson. Under the most trying
circumstances in our history he has
steadfastly worked for the cause of
peace and has avoided war, without
yielding on well recognized principles
of international law, justice and hu.
mainly. He has indicated the rights
of neutrals on the sea, he has upheld
the best traditions of his high Office
and has discharged his trust with such
signal fidelity, firmness and efficiency
that he has won the confidence and
affection of the American people, re-
gardless of political affiliations.
"His mastery handling of both ma
tional and international questions de.
mands his denomination and re-elec
ton as the trusted leader of the ma
tional Dem ooracy in 1916.
1--WE heartily commend the efficient
service of those distinguished sena.
tors and representatives in congress
who have tirelessly and successfully
endeaVored to assist the president in
the work of his administration"
