had kept his seat during the morning
session, arose and remarked that he
supposed as usual the papers would
ignore the proceedings of the conven-
ton. AS a rlue, they paid more at
tention to fist fight or a dog fight
than they did to a convention of such
momentouS Importance as the one in
session. He asserted that he had
bought a copy of The G o in Min
neapolis before coming over and could
not find one word Of the proceedings
Of the convention.
At this juncture several rose and in
terrupted Mr.. Donnelly, saying, that
The G o b e had given up three coll
umns of it's space to the convention.
Some one suggested that Mr.. Donnel-
ly had his specs On upside down. Some
one else ventured that perhaps Mr.
Donnelly was reading an old paper
The laugh was then on the Sage, who
said that If that was the case he would
publicly apologize to The Clio b e.
Have the newspapers been invited
to send representatives? queried Mr.
Stratton.
They are here, anyway said Mr.
Hanley.
Mr. Johnson wanted Mr. Rahillys
address published In full in the country
papers SO the farmers who were I'M
able to attend could keep posted upon
the proceedings of the alliance.
Erick Olson thought the newspaper
union could be induced to print the
proceedings Of the alliance in their pat
ent insides. The outside was usually
an almanac, and the average farmer
turned the inside out and read that
part of the paper.
o. H. ArantZen, of Wegdahl, differed
on this point. He thought not one
farmer In dozen would read the pro-
ceedingS If printed in this manner In
full
J. r. Low, of Faribault, said as a
newspaper man, he could not print
the proceedings and papers, as it
would take all the type In his print
shop to set it up.
Somebody in the back of the room
suggested that the daily papers would
pay more attention to the proceedings
Of the convention if they got up a
fight.
Thomas j. Meighen moved that a
collection be taken up to defray the
expense Of printing the proceedings
In supplement form. The supplement-
could be sent to the reform press and
it could in its papers send out the
sheet as q supplement to the paper.
The convention then took a recess
until 1:80 p. m.

their wheat where they were now re-
ceiving but so cents. All branches of
business had banded together for trade
protection. why not the farmer? II
the whole farming population would
come to the rescue there would be no
question about the success of the pro-
jeot.
Mr.. johnson, of Winthrop, cited as
examples the Winthrop Cooperative
creamery and the Farmers Elevator
company at his home, which had been
run with great success and profit by
the farmers.
J. c. Hanley read a paper on, Bust
ness in Agriculture" Business meth

er as well as any other line Of business
II the commission that went for the
handling of wheat in, the corporation
elevator companies was paid into the
treasury of cooperative esta blishments
it would enable the farmers to break all
heat combines and get the top of the
market, which, through manipulation
under the present system, reverted to
the SPECTATORS, while the producers
received merely nominal sum for the
product of their fields. If terminal e.e-
vators could be built and operated by
the farmers it would reVolution1ze the
whole wheat business.
Capt Low spoke Of the pract;cability
OF the scheme as adopted In the state
of Kansas 1t had, he said paid off
the farm mortgage Indebtedness of that
state, and could do the same for Min
nesota within a period of less than
three years.
Mr.. Hopkins moved that the agency
plan be left in the hands of the COM
mittee appointed day before yesterday,
with instructions to submit it to the
other grange organizations for their
cooperation and approval.
Ignatius Donnelly read an outline of
the bylaws which he had hastily
drawn up. The name of the association
was to be the Minnesota Grain Grow
ers' association. Branches would be
organized in every county and every
town in the state where wheat was
shipped out in any quantities.
The question here arose whether it
should be made obligatory for mem
bers of the grain association to be
members of the alliance. The discus
sion extended over an hour or so and
resulted in the whole matter being laid
on the table to be taken UP this morn
ing at a. m.
