Complete State And
National Ticket Was
Endorsed By Leaguers
AT Convention Last Week

endorsement by the. Nonpartisan
league convention for the nomination
for state treasurer was q distinct sur
prise to him, Obert A. Olson Of this
city, said today.
1T sounded rather funAy when I
heard it." he remarked, the joke OF 1t
to him probably being a sudden recol-
lection OF what happened two years
ago.
Olson, formerly Of Bowman county,
was elected state treasurer with
league endorsement, serving one term.
He ran afoul of Townley, Lemke and
some other league leaders.
They wanted to tell me what to do
and I said I'd run my own business"
Olson said.
When the league convention met two
years ago Olson's name was dropped
from the list suddenly and without ex-
PLANTATION and another man named.
Since then Olson has not been allied
with the league organization, but has
declared he stood by the original pro-
gram. of the league. He promi-
nently mentioned last spring as pro-
posing the organization Of a third
party in North Dakota.
The endorsement after the rejec-
ton two years ago, is pleasant music
to the former state treasurer. He
said today, however, that he was not
ready to maxi a statement yet as to
whether he will run.
Mr.. Olson is. engaged in the insur-
ance and investment business.
abandoning his balance of power plan
before the convention actually began,
hen it was plain that it's adoption
was hopeless. He thus made the
domination of the league by the Lied
erbach element the big issue Of the
convention instead of the balance of
power, which he did not deal with at
all in his speech Saturday.

Sam Bernard Owes Success
To a Charitable Impulse

O AM BERNARD, born in England, now
- wealthy actor and the husband of the
daughter of millionaire, owes his
success to a charitable impulse.
The name Bernard, which was given to
him legally in after years, would never
have been his at all had he not been bashful
He has since got bravely over his timidity,
with occasional relapses. When he and his
brother applied for a joint job in dialogue
and clogs at five cent museum in the
Bowery neighborhood many years ago, he
was Samuel Barnet. He said his name so
haltingly that the manager understood him
TO say Bernard and billed the brothers
under that name. They were so glad to
have their names in type that they never
made ary protest about the spelling. What
they wanted was hearing and seeing-that
was sufficiency. In fact. the Brothers Ber-
nard had been trying in many an obscure
little hall and in many New Jersey village
to get noticed.

Bossom's Interest in History
Put Him on Road to Fame

A MONG the natives of Albion who have
n found grace in the eyes of the city
4 of New York is Alfred c. Bosom
architect and the designer of the new struc-
ture of the Seaboard National Bank of which
his father-in-law. Samuel G. Bayne. is the
president.
Mr.. Bosom was born in England, where
he was trained in architecture and decora-
ton. He was attracted to the New World
and, strangely enough was such an earnest
student of our Colonial history that he
wanted to restore Fort Ticonderoga to its
pristine glory before he did anything else
In this enterprise ne interested Stephen H.
p. Pell. and within a few months he had
started work on the bringing back of the
ancient stronghold which was taken by
Ethan Allen in the name Of the Great
Jehovah and the Continental Congress.
The fact that an Englishman should take
such a delight in bit of Colonial research
on this side of the Atlantic piqued the In
terest of influential Americans. and before
many years Alfred c. Bosom found himself
retained by many banks and trust companies
and financial institutions as their archtec-
tural mentor.

Manhattan Gives Up Secrets
To Reginald Pelham Bolto,

q o intimately is Reginald Relham Bolton.
- engineer, connected with historical
New York that it seems almost heresy
for any one to say that he was not born
and bred in New York. AS an antiquarian
he has delved into the secrets of this island
of Manhattan and brought forth relics Of
the Revolution galore. He is one of the
leading authorities on Colonial history in
these United States and belongs to many
patriotic societies.
Born and educated In England, he came
here as youthful mechanical engineer and
established himself as a consultant. His
researches in heating and lighting and ven
tilation brought him a large income, and
recently he has had himself incorporated.
When not telling us all about American
ideals and traditions, following his large
practice as an engineer, he is probing In
wood for the remains of past in which
British troops fought our patriot sires for
the mastery OF the Western World.

His family went to live in Boston, where

United States Military Academy at West

institution that he bought pipe clay to chalk

Instead of that he joined trust company

HOREIGN birth proves no ham
dicap to success in America.
The shining examples of
victory in business and the profes-
sions presented herewith should
prove an inspiration to many of
our newer citizens. The names
were selected from a list of several
thousand successful Americans-all
foreign born-provided by the In

others are almost as we'll known to

they stand out among all.
THAT imposing pile which was crowned
with prize in architecture recently
the Seaboard National, was made a
great financial institution through the energy
of Samuel Gamble Bayne born in Ireland
He is president of the institution at the
hale age of 76 and is alert and erect and
always the lookout for work. His re-
markable vision of the future brought him
TO the United States, for he read in paper
in his native Belfast that there was a new
kind of fuel on this side of the water-an oil
which came from the deep rock.
There was reason in the world why
Samuel c. Bayne, linen manufacturer, Should
turn from his occupation in which he had
made his way to a competence except that
he longed for more excitement than he could
get from handling snowy napery and hut-
tering handkerchiefs. So it was that In the
year 1870 he arrived in this country having
sold out his factory. and started life anew
in the Pennsylvan oil fields. He bought
up leases and drilled for oil with the pioneers

bers distant.
Mr.. Bayne retains the vigorous physique
OF his youth by exercise. He spends at least
one hour a day swinging the clubs and
whirling the dumbbells, because he wants to
have a good time for the twenty-three re-
naming hours of a perfect day.
Two years ago he felt that he was getting
entirely too fat He stopped eating meat
and wheat and took to corn meal, sea food
and a light diet. The same habits of self
denial which he had formed in his youth
held up his resolution when as a million
aire he could have anything to eat which
his heart and his taste desired In fifteen
months he had lost thirty-seven pounds in
weight and in appearance had cast off the
burden of twenty-five years.

When he came here in 1874 from his ma
