TO FIGHT MEAT TRUST.
cattlemen From Western States Or
aanize In Denver.

Denver, Colo, May S. Cattlemen
from twelve states and territories west
of the Missouri river have organized
here for determined war on the meat
trust. A general staff to direct the
battle was formed and a campaign
fund of 100000 provided.
The cattlemen will appeal to the in
terstate commerce commission and to
Attorney General Knox. In order to
supply evidence committees will be APP
pointed to employ experts to inyesti-
gate the railroads, stockyards, and
packing houses.
Following is an outline of the objects
of the organization as given in the
reports Of the committee:
To formulate, prepare and put into
effect a plan and active operation look
ing to the securing of the passage Of
such laws or am endments thereof by
the congress of the United States as
will afford the relief to which the live
stock interests are entitled against ex-
orbitant rates and injurious practices
in the shipment of live stock; to urge
upon the agricultural and shipping in
terests generally the necessity of or
ganization and cooperation against
unreasonable eXactions and injurious
practices by the railroads Of the coun-
try; and 70 do any and all things that
may seem to this organization and to
the organization it represents to be of
benefit and advantage to the live stock
interests.

five men remained in the convention, reso-
lutons endorsing Charles A. Walsh for ma
tional committeeman, appointing him a
member of the state central committee
with power to vote on all questions, and
making A. w. Maxwell, the Hearst manag-
er, chairman of the state central commit.

This made the Hearst victory complete,

no uncertain terms to the Hearst pay
rolf and other matters which do not
sound well to the workers in the con-
CHEESEMAN'S crowd and the longer he
talked the more angry he became. He
stopped just in time to give A. w.
Maxwell /, of Seymour, a chance to
leap to front of the stage and start a
defense of the Hearst workers in Iowa
that would have done credit to law
yer defending a client in an almost
hopeless case.
Maxwell turned out to be rather I'M
popular during his talk and the ants
were glad when he sat down. Every
one made so much noise that it is safe
to say no one, sitting even within ten
feet, could hear any one sentence
that money talks" We're hurled at him
scores of times straight from the Scott
county seats.
Walsh is Kissed.
Charles Walsh then tried to explain
why the Scott county Hearst delega-
ton would be seated in the convention
When he asked for attention someone
in seat along the side aisle entered a
fiat refusal, but the bishop" distained
him and alike refused to notice the
nundredS OIL cries OF Flow muCn &C

other kindred Interruptions. When
Mr. Walsh said that Henry Vollmer

Hearst men had not been fairly elected

Scott county corner. Mr. Walsh fin
ished his address despite the frequent
attempts to sidetrack him, but if he
convinced anyone that he was right

is doubtful if an address by Hearst OF
Parker themselves would have chang

yention and took the seats vacated by

lot clearly demonstrated that the
Hearst men had the convention al
their own way, but still their rivals die
not drop the fight. The roll call on thu

Then Walter H. Butler, who was la

tude like he might use if commanding
the angry waves of the sea to be still
he teld up his left hand and waved
his right saying meanwhile that no

a hope that the convention would lis

The speaking. jerring, quieting and
music by the band took up the time
from 8 until o'clock, when the long
Overdue credentials committee final
ly put in an appearance. Immediate

marked gathering of Hearst and anti
| Hearst men. The latter knew they
were beaten but they had decided to
make stand at every ditch and il
they overlooked any from that time
until the convention was ready to ad
journ they were very shallow ones.
! Two Credentials Reports.
There were majority and minor
\ ity report from the credentials com
mittee. the first being read by j. H
Rogers of Ottumwa and the second by
T.. A. Howard of Fairfield. The ma
| jority report seated the Hearst dele
gates in Scott. Van Buren,, Hardin and
Franklin counties and the regulars in
Des Moines and Keokuk counties. The
minority report favored the seating OF
the regulars from the four counties
taken by the Hearst men into theil

again. If there had been noise be

would have been the afternoon ses-
sion lasted until 9:15 p. m. Just be-
fore adjournment resolutions were
passed endorsing Charles A. Walsh
for national committeeman and max
ing A. w. Maxwell, the Hearst manag-
err, chairman of the state central COM
mittee. The Hearst men had every
thing their own way and the only
point against them was the selection of
w. w. Baldwin of Burlington for dele
gate from the first district to the ma
tional convention. He, like all the
other delegates, however, is instruct
ed to vote and work for Hearst first,
last and all the time.
Strike Out Reaffirmation.
After the Hearst majority on the res
lutions committee had forced into
them endorsement and reafirmation
of the national platform, Charles A.
Walsh, General Weaver and other
Hearst promoters forced the commit
tee to reconsider in committee and
strike out reaffirmation. This was not
called to the attention of the conven-
ton or it might have changed the re-
suit.
When the Lid Came Off.
After breaking all known records
for democrat convention and remain

egates were unable to contain them
selves longer and at o'clock the fire

non, however, for he had evidently
come to Des Moines for the purpose OF
making a speech and he intended to
make it. He faced the convention in
spite of the cries of Iowa." Money
talks "Let a good democrat UP
there" that greeted him. He had to
wait some minutes before he could
raise his stentorian voice above the
cry of the convention, but when Chair
man Cullison had nearly broken the
| top of the table with his gayel and
| the howlers had to stop because Of
sheer lack of breath, Cannon got start
ed. His first remark was a hard one
and it proved an opening wedge.

"Time was" he said, when demo
cratic audience in Iowa esteemed il
privilege to hear M. D. Cannon make
an address. Democrats would leap tt
their feet at sound of my name. Time
was, during the prohibition fight If
this state, when the second district
democrats would not hiss the name OF

says: when say that Doan's Kid
ney Pills are the best remedy for the
kidneys ever tried, that they act upon
those organs quickly, that they operate
most effectively, mean what say,
and base my opinion on the following
experience: had slight headache
and other symptoms of either weak
ened or overtaxed kidneys. Thinking
that Doan's Kidney Pills might relieve
me, procured box at Will L. Sar-
gents drug store, Main and Market.
They did exactly as wanted. Let me
add this popularity about Doan's Kid
ney Pills: They do not affect the
bowels, are pleasant to take, leave no
bad effects or cause no reaction. This
of itself when compared with other
preparations is of considerable import
ance."

MINERAL SPRINGS.

John w. Rice, carpenter, living near
Mineral Springs, says: 81 endorse the
claims made for Doan's Kidney Pills.
for the following reasons: For years
l had kidney complaint, characterized
by persistent and most distressing pain
across the loins and in and through
the kidneys. Now if the first box OF
Doan's Kidney Pills, procured at Will
l.. Sargent's drug store, had not pro-
duced positive effects, l never would
have followed the treatment further
by purchasing five boxes, neither
would have advised my wife to use
the medicine. She like myself, had at
tacks of kidney complaint, and like
myself she obtained from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills results equally as
encouraging. To say that we both en-
dorse this valuable preparation feebly
expresses our estimation of it."
