JONES IS FOR BRYAN
Former Senator Declares Nebraskan
Is the Democracy's Logical
Candidate.

Washington, June 9.-FOrner Senator
James X. Jones of Arkansas, two times
chairman of the Democratic national
committee, and one of William J. Bry-
ans closest friends, called on the presi-
dent today. AfterWard he declared for
Bryan's nomination by the Democracy
for the presidency
Z believe Bryan is the logical candi-
date for the Democratic party said
Senator Jones. "and my judgment is ne
viii he the nominee and Will make the
race under the Democratic standard for
the third time. If he makes the race I
think he viii be elected.
Il am inclined to doubt whether BTy-
an wants the nomination Two races
for the presidency ought TO be enough
TO satisfy any man; but If the coDven-
ton should nominate him do rot think
he would refuse 20 run. I believe lie
would stand for any other candidate
who espOuses the same principles he
eSDOuSes"

ENGLISH STATESMEN AROUSED
TO ACTION AT HOME.

Washington, June 9.-The beef inspec-

teninS to Representative Gardner

ton.
) H Cowan Of Fort Worth, Tex. at
tcrney for the Texas Cattle Dealers as
ISOLATION, was next heard. He detailed
the extent Of the Texas cattle industry
Mr. Cowan said, while the raisers had
their differences with the packers and
had not got the best Of them, yet in
this question the interest Of the raisers
and packers We're identical If there
was an additional expense some one
would have to pay 1t, and the man who
can name the price OF the thing he
sells can put the additional expense
where he pleases. The stCCkmen believe
the packers could put this expense on
on the stOckraiSeTs. He read a telegram
from John T. Lytle, president Of the
Cattle RaiSerS' association of Texas,
which read:
Present agitation has seriously de-
pressed cattle business. Universal inn
preston that cattle values viii suffer
from 81 to s. per head decline"

Another from Murdo Mckenzie man
in America, in Colorado, estimated by
wire that Dy fail the price would be 81
per hundred pounds.
Asked by Representative Adams
CWis) if the packers did not fix the
price paid for cattle. Mr.. COwan said
this wGs an impOssibility under CTdina-
~ conditions. Neither could the cattle
Taisers b. combination fix the price.
The reason was that when cattle got
into condition they must be sold
Representative Haugen Ia) asked
Mr.. COwan if he had read the pTesi-
dents message, which estimated the
cost Of inspection at cents a head.
But we don't want To pay it-thats
our reason" replied Mr.. COwan- But,
rather than co without the law, we
would be glad to levy the cost on the
cattle" he continued.
Mr. Haugen said every member Of
the committee. so far as he knew, was
in favor Of the government paying the
cost. This cost has been estimated
from SS,OC0O00 90 S20,O00000 annually,
and congress, he said. at NEST probably
