ton of the association since it's organ
ization some thirty years ago.
The official song of the convention
was 81 Am a Wild Montana Flower,
Growing Wilder Ever Hour" as inter-
preted by Bill Wiegand of the Butte
Daily Miner. If Mr.. Weigand handles
subscriptions as we'll as he sings he
is the peer of circulation men.
Outstanding in oratory at the va
rious banquets and in convention ses-
sions was Pete Snelson of the Helena
Record Herald.
Joe Scanland, the talented editor of
the Miles City Daily Star, without
ever having taken a music lesson in
his life, played with great effect the
trombone in giving the members the
Miles City salute and three silent
cheers. He did a rushing business dur
ing the closing hours of the meeting.
Dean A. L. Stone, head of the school
of journalism of the state university,
and in his day of real newspaper
work, one of the best in the game,
made a number of graceful, pleasing
talks on various occasions which
helped the institution which he rep
reSentS.
Will Campbell of the Helena indie
pendent, who runs a 1000 acre farm in
the day time, and the Independent at
| night, made a clever talk at the BAN
quet.
Larry DoBell of the Butte Miner,
gave a double loaded editorial talk at
one of the several %banquets.
S. f. Peterson Of Great Falls made
his sixth attempt to decline the sec
r%etaryship of the convention, with the
usual result. He will probably be
made permanent secretary if he can
secure the consent of King Haaken of
Norway, whom he represents in Mon
, tana. Harry Mitchell made his eighth
attempt to get out of the association
treasureship, but without result. He
t will still keep the money.
ia. Gullully, the aged editor of the
e Fergus County Argus, broke down
: under the strain and left for his
quiet home on the second day of tbs
f meeting. His son, Sam Gulluly, who
e was very indignant q the publication
. 81 a story abo1., his father in The
e slar, accompanied him.
e One of the hes. newspaper stories
o published in the Milestown Maverick
J. was the story of the bull fight in the
a Olive hotel. 1t was written by II. p
# Raban of the Montana Newspaper as
a ISOLATION, a week in advance of thu
e fight, but the events occurred in Sc
quence just as narrated, that wa:
s. simply remarkable.

t; the fold was the occasion of a yer,
pretty speech by Dan Stone. Whe,
