Not Agreed on OIeo Bill.
A recommendation of the executive
committee that resolutions condenaning
the Grout ELECTROMAGNETIC bill be
adopted, gave rise to a lengthy and sp1r-
tied general debate. Leonard Pearson, or
Pennsylvania speaking for the dairy in
terests who upheld the Circuit bill, led
the debate with the plea that with oleo
selling under it's own coiors butter could
hold its own. 'You cattle men, said he,
insist that coloring of oleomargarine
should be allowed, yet you insist that TIE
wool interests should be protected against
shoddy masquerading as wool" Former
Gov. Packard, of Iowa, moved that the
whole subject be deferred, when Judge
COWdn dIOS6 cilQ SdiO SlldI pctSACio lle1o ~

The discussion was participated in by
members of the Kansas, California, Mis-
souri,, Michigan and Iowa delegations. It
was the first general discussion of the
convention. Judge Cowan brought the
speaking to an end by moving the
brevious question. The resolution against
the Grout bill was adopted, but only over
a good sized minority.
