and he can do it as we'll as any one in
this commonwealth. Some Of these pin
heads that opposed this probably were
never outside Of their own back yards.
It's just the identical thing that the
national. convention does right along.
My paper says that the national COM
mittee will meet at Chicago June IL
for the very purpose of selectin' tenn
porary chairman for the big convention
which will nominate Roosevelt. Pro
badly secretary Root will get this: 1t
simply means that insted of havin' a
whole lot of confusion and log rollin'
and fuss before convention begins, the
whole business will move right off. It
don't mean that the temporary chair
man will be or has to be the permanent
one. Clapp is a grand orator and
great statesman and all will be glad of
the honor showed him.
| alWus calculated that the shoe
maker should stick to his last and that
the farmer who is a big success at any
perticular line should stay by. Inotis
that some of 'em alwus did we'll at
dairyin' and some of 'em at beef raisin'
but neither one has big brag right
along comm on the other. The dairy
men hav the innin's just now with low
prices on beef and high prices on but
ter. My renter says that he amt got
less than 21 cents on his creamery
check for long time back and from
that price way up in winter. I tell you
this pays big. I know it takes feed
but I'd rather sell my grain after run
MIN it thro my cattle and gettin' a big
price for milk than to sell it whole at
the warehouse. It's good deal easier
to handle and fellows land is alwus
improvin'. The farmers that hav num-
Der one creamers for COWS are the kings
Of agriculture today, and there amt
any show just now of the big trusts
eatin' 'em up in competition. There
seems to be scarcity of butter and
milk actually around Austin this bless
ed mint and I'd like to see the trust
bust the dairy farmers under these con
ditions. In few days the COWS will
be on full grass and then the flow will
be increased. If was back on the old
farm and had my boys with me I'd like
nothin' better than to tackle herd of
fifteen or twenty COWS for a regular
and sure income. reckon that the
help problem when you hav to hire
mixers is a hard proposition today
tho.
One Of the boys was tellin' me that
the grafters are hot under the collar at
what Farmer Ben said about the court
house boys bein' on Easy street for the
comm campaign because they're on
their first term now. I'm sorry for the
grafters but it can't be helped. If any
body wants to put up fight for leg pull
in purposes it's free country but l
reiterate and repeat that you might as
we'll bark at the moon as to try to stir
up trouble for the boys this trip. The
people are the ones that do the votin'
and they don't care a last years al
manack whether the grafters get a
pull every trip or not. But how the
grafters squeal when they can't get a
teat. It beats all that folks can't do
any political favor without bein' bribed
and paid and hired to do it but the
people are onto the CRATER gang and
can tell when they're gettin' gold by the
way they work. I reckon tho that
such help amounts to nifty: little. It's
regular hobby horse goin', lots. of
motion but no movin' ahead. The
voters of Mower county are in for a
fair shake and they're goin' to renom
mate and reelect the officials who amt
had one term finished yet and the fel-
low that gets in the way of the peoples
train will get smashed to soap grease
without remedy. Tomtom drummin'
don't count for anything but harmless
noise. Folks pay as much attention to
it as to the wind blowin', and the more
noise is made the more sensible peo-
ples risibilities are stirred.
O . o.
/, It beats all the jumpin' jacks in
Ramsey to see how many fools are
goin' to the wall in grain gamblin'
bettin' on the other fellows game. The
thing. keeps rite up and the result is
that the states prisons are film up
