said showed an in'esse in hogs sent to
stock yaras of 4.0tiOO head. Tiie last
vear was the het in historv for sheep.
1 he said the 191 lamb crop being reported
' to have been the largest tver recorded.
Discussing co-ordination of phases of
the Industry he said:
"The vital questions before the con-
vention are:
"How we can devise more efficient and
economical means for the production of
live stock; how we can maintain and de-
velop the means for transporting this live
stock at reasonable rates; how we can
eliminate speculation in feeding: how we
can Improve conditions at stock yards."
Heard said the representatives of a
number of large packing companies had
withdrawn opposition to investigation of
the meat industry on condition mat the
stockmen would do all they could to se-
cure a full and fair imiuiry.
Heard urged the convention to take
some action locking to the protection of
American cattieinen with interests in
Mexico.
"There seems to bo a general feeling
smong Americans Interested in the cattle
industry in Mexico." said Heard "that
if the Pershing column is withdrawn
American cattle in Mexico will be taken
indiscriminately by the rival Mexican
factions-"
Addressing the convention. James Cal-
lan. president of the Cattle Kaisers'
association of Texas declared the stock- l
fmen had a hard lot which however he
would remedy with co-operation with his
j el tows.
i While the commission men and the
. packers invariably take their profit in
live stock shipments he said the stock-
men half the time hear the loss on them.
. The only remedy he said was better co-
operative effort and organization of all
live stock growers.
"The cattlemen who will not support
the American National association oueht
to he ostracised sociallv and in a business
way."

republican committeemen learned of the
efforts being made to choose L'nlermeyer.

Senator Weeks' indorsement was so
