MINE OFFICER
REAL PATRIOT

Peoria, ILL.,, March 18.-Reports of
officers still occupied the attention
of the delegates to the Illinois mine
workers convention at the session
this morning.
A strong plea for Americaniza-
ton was made by Walter Nesbit.
secretary-treasurer, in his report
submitted yesterday.
IF the United Mine Workers of
America is going to remain an
American institution and contend
for American standards and ideals.
then every member in it ought to
become an American citizen. II a
man refuses Or neglects to become
a citizen and a voter, then he has
no right to complain about the laws
which govern him. This convention
should go on record as favoring
naturalization and Americaniza-
ton"
The convention has wired Gov
ernor Frazier of North Dakota ask
ing him to address the convention.

in silver.
Notwithstanding that the electric
lights went out about 8 o'clock, and
left the wedding" party in darkness
to those who called late to extend con-
gratulations, the bride and groom
were not the least disturbed as they
stood in the faint light that had been
substituted for the electric lights.
In fact they were apparently at ease
and as graceful and pleasing as ii 1t
were their first matrimonial expert
ence. But that could not be, for there
beside the charming bride and gal
liant groom stood, lovely daughter
and a fine, manly son nearing their
majority.
From the reception room callers
were ushered into the dining room
where a delicious salad course was
served: thence to the library where
coffee, cakes, mint and candy were
passed to the guests, and the many
beautiful presents were on display.
During the hours from 8 to .
o'clock, delightful music was render
ed by Mesdames. L. W. and W. ).
