tary of the dairy union. 1t says, among
other things:
I'VE regret to note that Mr. McCleary,
of Minnesota has cut loose and is en-
deavoring to have his bill accepted, N
the face of advice an7 protests. Mr.. Nc
Cleary, we do not believe is in as good
a position to look after our. interests as
Mr. Tawney, and the latter has brought
years of active efforts in behalf of the
dairymen of the United States. His splen-
did efforts for the Grout pill at the last
session earned his right to lead in the
house There is a great strife among our
friends for this honor of leading what
they expect to be one of the most notable
and successful fights ever undertaken for
farmers in congress"
1t is added that the bill supported by
the dairy union will be known as the
''Tawney-Grout BILL

worth for chairman of the agricultural
