employment in the paper mill of John McClain, where he was employed for many years. Mr. Butler's carly education was limited and it can be said of him he has been a paper maker sineche was nine years old, for it was at that early period in his history that he began to acquire a knowledge of the business in which every year of his life has since heen devoted. For seven years he remained steadily working at the business in Ballston, when a better situation offered itself, which he accepted in the mill of Frank Gilbert, as machine tender, where he served another seven years when his splendid abilities and knowledge of the business brought him within the notice of the lolsworth & Whitney Co., extensive manufacturers, with mills at Brain- tree, Mass., and Gardener, Me. At the latter place he was made superintendent of the company's mill and later was transferred to the works at Braintree, Mass., as general superintendent and was located there four years.

Franklin, Marie and Grace Politically Mr. Butler is a mild type of Republican, believing in the principles of that party as exemplified in the system of protection to American labor and the right of suffrage and protec- tion of the citizens without reference to race or previous conditions of servitude. He is also a firm believer in the necessity of radical changes in both the old political parties as regards the settling of the money question as well as that appertaining to the well being of the industrial masses.
