On motion of Mr. Calef of Piatt county, the convention proceeded 

 to the election of president of the State Board of Agriculture for the 

 ensuing two years. 



.Nominations for president now being in order Hon. Geo. H. Mad- 

 den of LaSalle, in the following speech placed in nomination Hon. 

 Martin Conrad of Cook county. 



Mr. President— I rise to present for the presidency of this board for the 

 ensuing two years, one who has long been an active worker with us. He has 

 been a resident of Illinois continuously since 1865, when he was mustered 

 out of the volunteer army of the United States. For a quarter of a cen- 

 tury he has held a highly responsible position with one of the state's 

 greatest manufacturing firms. What he has done as a member of this board, 

 all, or nearly all of you know. His work is always done faithfully and well. 

 We can rely on him in the future as we have relied on him in the past, 

 knowing full well that he will meet every test. I name your candidate and 

 mine, Martin Conrad of Cook county and the entire State of Illinois. 



The nomination of Mr. Conrad was seconded by Messrs. Lovejoy 

 of Winnebago, Barber of Hancock, Fulkerson of Jersey, David of 

 Mercer, Welch of Kane, Cunningham of Vermilion, Dickirson of 

 Lawrence, Chapman of Johnson, Calef of Piatt, Marshall of Marion 

 and Sturtevant of Peoria county. There being no other nominations 

 for president, Mr. Conrad was upon motion of Mr. Jones of Tazewell 

 county unanimously elected president of the State Board of Agricul- 

 ture for the ensuing two years. 



Mr. Madden of LaSalle moved that the cha-irman appoint a com- 

 mittee of three to notify Mr. Conrad of his election. Which motion 

 was adopted. AVhereupon the chair appointed the following com- 

 mittee: Messrs. Madden, David and Barber. 



Mr. Conrad appeared before the convention and thanked them for 

 the honor conferred.
