listie field, reports most gratifying conditions
in Texas Old Guard Populist clubs are
springing up everywhere over the State. He
writes:
In Taylor county the committee has been
recognized and the twenty-five members Zone
for each voting precinct) will organize an Old
Guard club in each of their several precincts
to act as campaign committees in their several
communities. In Callahan county a similar
work has been done and there will be eighteen
clubs in the county. On account of the
absence from the county Of the county chair
man, no notice was given Of the proposed con-
ference in Parker county; therefore the pro-
posed meeting was temporarily called off. In
johnson county the new or reorganized county
committee will have organized very soon
twenty-five clubs. In Dallas county Chairman
Sprague and his county committee are deter
mined to organize club or campaign COM
mittee in and for each voting precinct SINH
lar work has been naugurated in Grayson
county and it is entirely safe to say that that
county, through Chairman Roach, will report
very soon club in each Of the voting pre-
cincts Of his county. County Chairman
Tefteller, assisted by such Old Guard Popu-
lists as McGrady Of Bonham, Smith Of Bailey
and others selected at the county conference
held in Bonham, will soon report the reorga-
nization of club in and for each Of the fifty
three voting precincts Of Fannin county. In
Lamar, county very strong and enthusiastic
county committee was the outcome of the
conference held in Paris. This is the home
county and city of j. w. Biard of the National
Committee, and he was on hand and con-
tributed largely to the splendid success of the
meeting. So far I am finding no difficulty
in interesting our populist friends in the
reorganization and club work, and if the
same sort of work that is being done in the
counties [ have visited continues through the
state and national, will poll very large vote

practically every voter who was populist in
past years is one now. The official returns

CHICAGO. Sept. 3-Genuine compe-
tition in the beef trade, with resulting
benefits to cattle raisers, butchers and
consumers, is the sweeping promise OF
a newly Incorporated concern here
which has had the nerve to plan an in
dependent stockyards for Chicago
right under the nose of the ninety
million dollar beef trust and chal-
Ienge it to a competitive war in prices.
The company Is a small one, and Off
GERS of the big packing houses say it
will not succeed. Its plans, however,
call for an expenditure of 81 100000 in
packing houses and other structures.
Twenty acres have been purchased al
Thirty-niuth street and FOrty-eighth
avenue and work is already under way.
According to H. w. Rockwell, one Of
the incOrporatoTs, active competition
will begin October l. Many new ad-
vantages to stOckmen are announced.

chased elsewhere. The company owns

the outgrowth of the conditions
brought about by the Union Stock
Yards company" said Mr.. Rockwell.
The cattle raisers, shippers and
consumers believe that they have
good cause for complaint against
the company's methods, and have no
doubt they are right in thinking so.
This concern is to be a genuine COM
Detftor for trade. and the prices of
