ON TO ASHEVILLE! 

 Editoe Review: I saw an article on 

 page 422 of Sept. 5 headed "On to 

 Asheville" that I feel ought to he an- 

 swered. I was present when the vote 

 was taken on place of meeting for 1902. 

 I also heard the "Silver-Tongued Hire- 

 ling" who recited his piece inviting the 

 society to meet at Asheville. Nay, more, 

 I was present as much as any one, un- 

 less that one was our worthy president, 

 and I did not see a man under the in- 

 fluence of that which made Milwaukee 

 famous. I never helped to make Mil- 

 waukee famous, but I voted to hold the 

 convention of 1902 there, and as the sil- 

 ver-tongued speaker said he had helped 

 to make Milwaukee famous, and as he 

 lives in Asheville, I presume they have 

 the Milwaukee article there also. I am 

 sorry any one should insinuate that the 

 convention was voted to Asheville on 

 account of drunkenness. Shame! 



My only reason for answering that ar- 

 ticle is because I did answer the recita- 

 tion about the "Seventy Hills." I have 

 confidence that I could have saved the 

 convention to Milwaukee, as a change of 

 three votes would have done. I changed 

 the minds of two gentlemen after they 

 had written their ballots and before the 

 tellers collected the same, and those two 

 will read this and remember the circum- 

 stances. 



With all that has been said, I say let 

 us all work for the Asheville convention. 

 As an old employer taught me, when I 

 make a bad bargain stick the closer to 

 it, and try to make a good one out of it. 

 So here goes for Asheville.
