The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1897-02-18

liOA SuHll move IOf the appointment OF a
committee to prepare such changes.
Il also hope the association will soon be
able to pay It's secretary full salary and
keep him travelling in the interest Of the
association
KANSAS, HUSTLING.
The selection for the next place for
holding the convention is usually left
TO the executive committee, but there
will be determined effort on the part
OF the Kansas delegation to have the
convention name the city, and that
place will be Topeka if the Kansas
hustlers have their way. In order to
facilitate their schemes, they will also
spring candidate for president of the
association. They argue that at least
one of the executive officers should be
a resident Of the state holding the an
nual convention, and they have a can
didate for president in J. L. Hoffman,
Of Newton, the biggest creamery and
dairy man in the Sunf1ower state,
These Kansas people are hustlers, too.
They came in two special cars, live in
them while here, and are decorated
with sunfiowers until their facades are
half hidden. They have their wants
and are making them known at every
opportunity.
Mr.. Hoffman is not likely to meet
much opposition in his candidacy, al
though President Segar, who has
served for two terms, is Gin the hands
OF his friends" But Mr.. Segar doesn't
want the Office again. He is willing
to accept a denomination if no one else
wants it-and this sentiment, which is
honest with the worthy president,
seems to pave the way for the Kansas
man. For secretary no one seems to
envy Mr.. Sudendorf and he will un-
doubtedly be reelected. The PROPOSE
ton to make the Office a salaried one
may develop other candidates, but Mr..
Sudendorf is not only the logical candi-
date, but the favOrite as we'll.
The Kansas delegates are already
making themselves solid with the other
fellows by hurrahing for Sudendorf,
and incidentally boosting their own lit
tie boom for the next convention.
Gov. Leedy has written a nice letter
to the convention asking that the next
session be held in Kansas, and that
letter will be read in the convention
tomorrow. That
BUTTER BOARD OF TRADE
scheme, which Rochester and st. Paul
are SO anxious to secure, is not likely
to be heard from again during this
session Of the convention. The boomers
have discovered that an Endorsement
from this convention would not aid
the movement. Secretary Tallmadge,
of the st. Paul chamber Of commerce,
mas gone home, satisfied that there
is nothing to be done here in advanc-
ing the interests of his city. Prof
hacker, of the state experimental
farm, who is also interested in St
PauPS claim to the butter board of
trade, returned to that city this after
noon, after doing all the missionary
work possible. Prof. Hacker said to a
reporter for the Glob today that
1T was only question of time until
such a board was organized and St.
Paul is the logical center for such a
movement. "Dairymen everywhere
recognize the fact that they can get
better prices through a board of trade
than by the present haphazard method
OF disposing of their products. ST
Paul would make prices for the Da-
kotas, Iowa and the dairymen Of upper
Kansas, and the advantage Of a mar
ket that would give a daily quotation
and furnish steady market for the
product of the dairymen would he of
untold benefit. There is nothing for
us 10 90 now to secure the establish
ment OF such board in st, Paul unit,
the State Dairy association meets i'm
the spring. Other Minnesota cities are
interested, and st. Paul will not Sc
cure the coveted Endorsement without
effort, but the advantages Of transpor-
tation and location are all in our favor
our Wishes
The afternoon session of the conven-
ton was we'll attended More than
One-half the delegates in attendance
were unable to gain admittance to the
court room where the sessions are
held. The papers Of the day were on
topics of interest to dairymen alone.
and all OF them provoked much intel
ngent discussion. J. G.. DAILY, Of
Charles City, To-, began the trouble
with a written opinion on ways of
tempering milk. The discussion was
free-for-al and interfered somewhat
with the plans Of the programme max
ers, who had booked three other pa.
pers for the session. Consequently,
when Mr.. Handy, Of Graytown, O., was
called upon to read his paper on salt
ing and working of butter. the day had
gone. and the engineer at the lighting
plant had turned on the power that
shifts the dynamos and put on a"sub"
for the night However dull and te-
dious these technical papers may have
been to the layman, the dairymen
found them of profound interest and
remained until the close of the session.

Inc committee on resolutions OF
which Grin Douglas, of Massachusetts
Is chairman, will report tomorrow
afternoon. The committee will proba-
bly, not be heard from until action Is
taken on Mr.. Monrad's suggestions.
Mr.. Douglas said tonight that the only
plank he knew of that would be writ
ten and submitted to the convention
would be a memorial on Col. r. M.
Littler who was a pioneer dairyman
Of Iowa. 1t is proba BILE that the reso-
lutions will petition the agricultural
department at Washington to give
greater recognition to the dairy inter
ests of the country, particularly tc the
Northwest. Ire legislature will also
receive some valuable hints as to the
necessity of fostering the Industry
which seems to be the present main
stay Of hundreds Of farmers in this
state.
The report of the committee on
awards will be read tomorrow. The
scores of packages Of dairy products
that have been so jealousy guarded
from public inspection will not be on
exhibition until Friday. The attend
ance at exhibit hall has been very
large, and today there was not room
for the crowds that sought admission
There's everything here from a check
pump to the latest thing in. salt, and
butter color firms are more numerous
than the fellows with patent devices
for milking yearlings. But, unless one
is dairyman, or Interested in butter
making, the big display will excite
no more interest than the same de-
