Fergus County argus. [volume] (Lewistown, Mont.) 1886-1946, 1906-06-19

The opinion is entertained in Wash
ington that in case Bryan is again
named as the Democratic candidate
for the presidency he will have Theo-
dore Roosevelt as his opponent. 1t is
hardly probable that the latter can
carry through all of the reforms he
has inaugurated and the new ones that
are sure to be undertaken in the
next two years. If this should prove
true there would be a we'll nigh uni
versal demand throughout the coun-
try that he stand for reelection.
Coming as it would from the great
masses President Roosevelt would be
compelled to reconsider his declara-
ton that he would not be candidate
to succeed himself The people would
have more confidence in a president
and in party that was actually doing
what they want done. than in Mr.. Bry-
an and all the promises he and his
party might make. 1t is true, great
changes may take place in the next
two years, but it should surprise no
one to see Roosevelt and Bryan pitted
against each other in the great nation
al contest.

THINKS GROWERS SHOULD ACT

The Great Falls Tribune does not
take kindly to the idea that the stock
men of Montana are at the mercy OF
the Chicago packers and that they
must sit supinely down and let the
combine make good the losses sus-
tanned by the recent government in
vestieation and exposures. by taxing
the cost up 10 growers The Tribune
believes that market could be found
abroad for Montana beef on the hoof,
at least it thinks it is something that
should be investigated at once. The
Tribune SAYS the cattlemen of North
crn Montana should get together and
elect a committee to visit Liverpool
TO see what sort of market they
can find there for our choice beef on
he hOof. and what arrangements can
be made for the charter of cattle
steamers to transport it from Chica-
go or New York to it's final destina.
ton" The Tribune says a large pro-
portion Of the steers raised on our
ranges will take that route anyway,
and adds: "Why should the cattle
men stop at Chicago and dispose of
their product in a market under the
control of a lot of millionaire beef
barons, who have openly announced
their intention of robbing them? AS
The Tribune stated the other day it
has no license or authority to speak
for the stOckmen. but the stock in
terest in this section of the state
is most important one, and contrib
utes largely to the wealth and pros.
perity of the country. Therefore, We
are interested in seeing that they do
not get the tarred end of the stick
as it seems likely they will do if they
depend solely on Chicago as market

THE BRYAN BOOM.

Butte Daily News: Two years ahead
of time Democratic state conventions
are giving Bryan his third nomination
for the presidency. All over the coun-
try Democrats who fear Hearst and
hate Roosevelt are sounding Bryan's
praises and mixing Bryan medicine
SO that on the eve of his return from
a well-advertised globe-trotting expa-
dition, the Nebraskan finds his name
once more on the tongues of the poll
ticians and his stock soaring skyward
at dizzy pace.
There is something artificial about
this premature Bryan boom and it is
not hard to guess the artificers. The
men who are shouting socialist and
anarchist at President Roosevelt are
the men who are pulling the wires
behind this latest punch and Judy
show.
incidentally Mr.. Bryan is losing no
opportunity 10 emphasize the dangers
of socialism and, indeed. for an I'M
accustomed role he is playing the safe
and sane statesman with a rare degree
of skill.
Rooseve1t's avowal that he will not
be a candidate to succeed himself-at
once the hope OF the corporations and
! the regret of the great mass of the
/ American people-leads the Democ-
/ racy to believe that no other Republic
can can step into Roosevelts shoes
/ AT this stage Of the game the presi-
Dental contest seems to depend upon
whether the Republican nominee will
be named by Roosevelt. 1t is folly to
say that there is no man in his party
who would fail of success by compar-
ison, for the Democratic candidate
would suffer from a like handicap
and if Roosevelt himself should take
the stump, his personal popularity
would hardly fail to bring victory to
his party.
And there is a possibility that the
! president may be induced to succeed
himself. The News is among those
who believe that popular clamor two
years hence will be so universal and
overpowering that the president will
be compelled to seriously reconsider
his decision to retire.
Not since the days of Washington
have the American people become so
much unit upon the choice of a
leader as today, and it is safe to esti.
mate that. irrespective of place OF
party, two-thirds of the voters of the
nation are strongly in favor of four
years more of Roosevelt.

for their product this year. 1t would
cost them only trifie to investigate
the feasibility of the expert plan sug-
gested by The Tribune, and if it were
found practical, as we believe it would
be, the advantages of broadened
market are too many and too appar-
ent for it to be necessary for us to
enumerate them at this time. The
time for action along these lines is
just now. They can safely leave the
grass to grow under their cattle's feet
ket for their cattle than the packers
have told us will exist in Chicago.
A few years ago the project of ship
ping beef to foreign markets was pro
posed, but evidently the plan was
found impracticable. 1t is long dis
lance from the western ranges to Liv
erpool and if cattle lose flesh in the
rapid transit to the Chicago market
what would be their condition at the
end of an ocean voyage of 5000 miles
1t would mean line of ships fitted
up for the purpose. with plenty OF
feed and good care to land them ii
marketable shape, all of which means
money from some one. Whether this
could be done in competition with the
method employed by the packers in
shipping the choicest portions of the
dead animal after the closest salvage
has been made of other parts, is very
doubtful.
However, as The Tribune suggests
it is a matter worth investigating, ani
the views of cattlegrowers on the
proposition would be of interest JUS
at the present time. If there is an!
way to circumvent the rapacity of the
beef barons now is good time tt
figure it out.
