conferred with Secretary, Wilson today in

regulations governing cattle affected with

The delegation asked the department to
change the regulations so that animals
which show no sign of the disease may be
shipped this autumn for slaughter, even
though some of the herd show symptoms
of the disease. Under the regulations, if
any of the animals of a. herd show the
existence of the disease all animals in the
herd are deemed to be exposed and are
required to be dipped in disinfectants.
Secretary Wilson has taken the appeal
of the shippers under consideration.

w. - ~ , oIis eLLoIl - 70 pe hdue py
Of bill by the next congress to legalize
the pooling of traffic. For years the rail-
roads have been trying to bring about
the enactment of such a law but have
failed, chiefly because of the opposition
of large shippers and merchants.
Another obstacle was that the interstate
commerce commission. which had no OBJ
lection to legalized pooling, took radi-
cally different view from the railroads
as to the manner in which the pooling
should be done. The commission takes
the position that if pooling is permitted
the commission should have the power
of fixing the rates.
This time, it is said, the railroads pro-
pose to enlist the support of the so-called
small shippers. 1t is reported that
meeting of the small shippers organiza-
tions throughout the country will be held
next month or two to outline plans for
the new campaign.

from the sort of campaign that the
Republican candidates have waged In
that fierce war of personal abuse no
room was left for concession, for toll

methods if necessary. 1t was impos-

or in Hennepin should declare for
either Dunn or Collins, just as it had
been proved impossible that primaries
could be held, in any spirit of fair play
or with any decent regard for personal
or political propriety. The rage of fac

So yesterday the Minnesota Republic
ans, as far as in them lay, followed the
noble example of those of their sister
state, Wisconsin, and added one more
shade of carmine to their battle flags
In st. Paul and in Minneapolis there
were bolts, and two conventions were
held and contesting delegates will be
sent to the state convention from the
two big counties. 1t matters little who
had the right of it, if any right there
be. Those who tell the truth must
admit that it would be difficult to de-
