FORT WORTH CHOSEN.
When the matter of the location of
the convention of 1900 was taken up
Colonel John Donovan extended an
invitation fom ST Joseph, Mo. He
argued that the association is strong
in western ranchmen. but weak in
feeders and the holding of the cOnVen-
ton in the heart of the corn belt would
strengthen it in that particular.
A Il. Robertson of Texas. on behalf
of Fort Worth, invited the association
to hold its next convention there, as the
greatest cattle growing center of the
Union. A telegram from Governor
Sayers of Texas was read urging the
association to come TO his state next
year.
Invitations were read from the COM
merciaI bodies of San Antonio and
Dallas, Tex.
Seconds for Fort Worth came from
CCloraC ,, Nebraska Illinois, Kansas

taken st. Joseph. was withdrawn and

ernors of Utah, Wyoming and Colorado
