144 ILLINOIS STATE DAIRYMEN'S ASSOCIATION. 



Toastmaster : — If there is any one I am sorry for, it is the 

 mayor. I understand that your mayor gave us a cordial and 

 hearty welcome to your city. I got to tell a story on the doctor. 

 It happened right after election. The account of this was in the 

 paper. Mr. So and So in a small town had made up his mind 

 since the election to go away to some sanitarium for appendicitis 

 — in fact the doctor advised it. If Bryan had been elected he 

 would have stayed at home and been treated for stomach ache. 



Let me introduce Mayor Edmundson.
