1920 O'Clock this morning the National
Cattle Convention was called to order by
Temporary Chairman Major c. G. Rain
water The delegations were well repre-
sented, but the raw weather had its effect
upon intending visitors, and the hall was
by no means well filed
Announcements were made by Reading
Clerk Fitzgerald Of the programme for
this evening, the street illumination,
Merchants Exchange reception and
souvenir medal distribution, with the APP
pointment of John Finn, of st. Louis, as
temporary Sergeant-at-Arms.
The Committees on Credentials, Rcso-
buttons and Permanent Organization, one
member from each having been selected
by each Stock Association represented In
the Convention, were announced by
Reading Clerk Broadwell, and the Con-
vention adjourned until three O'Clock this
afternoon, 10 allow them TO consult and
report.
Every delegation was busted last night
IN caucusing for the meeting to-day, and
understanding between Texas, Kansas,
New Mexico, Arizona, Indian Territory
and Southern Colorado TO stand together.
There arose yesterday the feeling among
the Southern cattlemen that a
scheme was on foot, engineered by
the Chicago Live Stock Association, TO
control the convention in the interest of
Chicago and the Northwest. 1t resulted
in Il sentiment OF union among the former,
who took TO st. Louis as their center.
Consequently st. Louis will be selected
by the Southerners for the next place of
meeting, or in case this proves impos-
sible, Denver as a second choice. Gov
ernor o. A. Hadley, OF New Mexico,
was united upon as permanent
chairman. He is a man of fifty i've years,
who has National record as an able
man. He served as Colonel in the
Union army during the war, and was AZ
terward Governor Of Arkansas from 1873
IS Seven years ago he went TO New
Mexico and entered into the cattle bust
ness on his present ranch, Eaglctail Noun
tain, fourteen miles from Ration. He is
still a poor man.
