Likes Roosevelt
Mr.. Simpson also said that he did
no, believe that Theodor, Roosevelt
would bee the republican candidate in
1904. Il like Roosevelt he said. but
! think the republican leaders are
afraid ol him. he has the unhappy
faculty of doing what hc believes is
right without consulting the party
leaders But. as ! said before. am out
OF politics and am not supposed to
know anything about it

tory If the association. am going
from here to Ogden g. address the
state convention Of cattlemon Of Utah.
and from there 90 into South Dakota
and Idaho and other western states for
the sam" purpose. My object is to stir
mp interest in the association and TO
urge upon the Cattlemcn of the north
west the necessity OF getting together.
They are realizing more and more that
II they wan to accomplish anything in
congress or anywhere else they must
pun together and exert their influence
as "A body II is through this method
that other interests have been SO sue
cessful and the stock growers must
adopt the same tactics.
Wants a Western Man.
What we need more than anything
down in Washington is Il secretary of
the interior who Is from the west.
Nearly all the business of that depart.
mcnt has TO do with the country west
of the Missouri, and the man who Is
AT the head of that department should
come from this section. Just now We
are fortunate In the fact that the man
who is in the president chair under
stands the west. and | believe he will
do great things for us before his term
expires.
Il speak of this especially in regard
TO the order of the secretary of the IN

the public domain Down In my part
of the state the summary removal of
the fences from the public land will
work great hardship TO the small cat.

declared intention to protect. II will
mean that the man with a small herd
will have To hire herders which he is
unable to do. and that he viii have To

in a short time have complete control
of the range. | think the leasing sys.
tenn that is advocated In the west will
solve the difficulty to large extent.
but of course that is experimental

As the statesman from Medicine
Lodge sat in his room with one foot
thrown over the other knee he Haunted

the requirements Of the style ~ the
present year Whatever his falling
may have been during the days OF his
political glory there Is no disputing
the fact that now he mas recognized
the demands of society in regard To
