THEY WON'T OPPOSE.
Democrats Don't Expect to Have Can

No fight viii be precipitated by the
Democrats against the candidacy of
William Green for member of the coun-
ell from the Third ward. The authori-
ty for this statement emanates from
Colonel Pete Miller, last year chairman
of the Democratic city central commit

committee.
Mr.. Green viii have to run upon an
independent ticket" said he. That

adopt. However, the Democrats.

party, is not opposed to Mr.. Green
running for council again and l feel
sure that no candidate viii be brought
out against him by the party.
OF course there are few of the
Democrats, those who belong to the
wet wing who do not care to see
Green get back to the council because
they think he is too strong on the other
side. But the better element of the
party rather admire Mr.. Green for the
stand that he has taken and the fight
that he makes for a thing which he
thinks is right. He has made a good
record as Il member of the council and

Leader Bureau
Washington. June 1s.-The solicit
tude which the president processes to
feel for the stock growers of the coun-
try has thus far found expression In
little else than words. The cattle in
dustry OF the United States is one Of
mammoth proportions and absolutely
at the mercy Of clique OF men who
have by divers methods. secured com
plete control OF the meat and cattle
markets of the country. So absolute
is the power of the packers over the
cattlemen that whenever the govern
ment, state or federal, seeks to bring
them to time, they threaten TO sac
rifce the cattlemen Of the country,
whom they hold as hostages to Sc
cure themselves against sovernment-
al control or prosecution.
This deplorable state OF affairs has
been evident ever since the govern.
ment has turned it's attention to the
evils OF the beef trust, and vet this
administration that rawns over the
stockman and processes such an
interest in him, has taken no effective
step toward liberating him from the
grasp OF that trust It has it in it's
power TO secure for the American
stock grower the markets OF the world
for his cattle and make him inde-
pendent OF the packing combine. and
although conditions I'm Europe for this
purpose have seldom been as favorable
as they have been in the past few
years. the Roosevelt administration
in the six years OF its existence has
barely turned hand. The consular
system has been made into an evan
gelizing force to open foreign fields
