/ AE A6nl lot the next ndltGDdI i've
! stock convention lies between Chicago
/ and Omaha. 1t narrowed down To that
/ yesterday when ST. Joseph Withdrew
and Kansas city decided TO take no
/ hand in the contest. These cities de
clare they do not want it. having made
their fight last year and having SUI
/ fered defeat. but il is understood that
! Kansas City IS a receptive" candi-
/ date. If the delegates should insist on
/ going TO that town next year they
/ would be welcome
With these two cities removed the
/ fight viii become all the warmer Chi
/ cago has come here with about thirty
I votes and a whole lot of hustieTs. and
/ they viii be in the contest to the fin
/ ish. As soon as the Chicago delega-
/ ton had Caucused yesterday and elect
/ ed g. A. Mallory chairman. the latter
3 began Co lay his strings for pulling
7 the delegations To the support OF the
/ Illinois city There is literally no limit
I to the number Of Chicago rpoterS and
! lobbyists. and the managers Of the
/ campaign expect a victory.
Chicago's Claim.
/ said Chairman Mallory. cone Of
I the chief reasons why the next session
should meet at Chicago is that the In
I ternatiOnal Livestock exposition, the
biggest thing Of its kind i'm the world.
/ is to occur there next December. This
will embrace exhibits from all breed
ers IN the United States, Canada and
/ England and nearly all the prominent
/ stock growers of the country viii be
/ there. We believe that the livestock
! convention should take place at the
same time. There is nothing like kill
I ing two birds with one stone. Besides
{ hl ~ a POS
/ to offer. II the convention comes there
I il Will be AT the invitation Of the Chi
cagO Union Stock Yards company,
/ rather than the municipality of Chi
CagO. We do not want 10 make any
promises that we cannot fulfill. but if
we cannot convince the stockmeu that
/ it is TO their advantage to meet at
/ Chicago next time. all right. With us
! 1t is business proposition
The Chicago crowd are confident Of
! success. They claim 10 have the I'M
divided support OF Oregon. Washing
/ ton, Idaho, Wyoming, Texas Utah and
Montana, At least a part Of Colorado
and practically all the deleEa tons east
( Of the Missouri river IF their claims
are not exaggerated they viii win
There is more politics around the va
TiOuS state headquarters than one
would imagine As yet the Omaha
I delegates have not done a great deal
/ in fact, only a few of them have ar
rived; but the Nebraska city has d
great many strong advocates already
on the ground They claim-dnd they
are not without support in the claim
that the convention should by all the
q laws of equality go to a Missouri river
town: and since Kansas City IS not in
| the fight and St. Joseph has with
drawn, Omaha, they say, is the only
/ town to which the honor can go.
The result of the fight seems TO rest
/ in the hands of Utah. Idaho and Tex
/ as. Chicago claims the Utah delega-
ton solid, and probably the conclusion
! is correct. But for Chicago the con-
[ ventiOn would not have occurred IN
salt Lake this year. One year ago at
Fort Worth. W. F. Ski her of Chicago
( stampeded the convention for salt
/ Lake, and the Utah delegates cOnsId-
I e. it only a fair return to support Chi
} Cago this year. Idaho. being so close
{ ~ akin to Utah, it is probable that her
delegates will take the same course.
: and as il was Mr.. Skinner who took
/ the convention to Fort Worth year
| ago. he can demand about anything ne
wants from Texas this year. Nh Skin
/ ncr and General Manager Leonard are
I fighting valiantly for Chicago The
/ Chicago delegation is To- caucus on this
and other subjects at O'Clock this
/ morning.
Kansas City's Attitude.
/ A whole lot of interest is being dis
played by the rival cities as to the
stand Kansas City viii take IN the
fight Kansas CITY has taken enough
/ interest in the convention TO send a
I larger delegation than any market
! city. There are about thirty-fouT votes
/ in the delegation and they are priz.
! lot to either Of the cities in the con-
! tes.

This is a holy picnic, said Mr.
