JOHNSoWS FRIENDS ARE ACTIVE
Making an Effort 90 secure the EN-
dOrscment Of south Da-
kOta Democrats.

MITCHELL. s. D., April 6.-(speclal Tele-
gram.)-The maneuvering among the demo-
Gratis today who have arrived for the dem
ocratic convention which will convene to-
morrow afternoon at 2 o'clock reveals the
fact that an effort will be made during
the convention to secure an endorsement
for Governor johnson and his candidacy.
The johnson supporters have been laying
their plans this afternoon TO secure some
support for the endorsement OF Hugh Smith
of Miner county for member of the ma
tional democratic committee from South
Dakota. Smith is strong supporter of
Johnson and II they can break in on the
Bryan ranks It is possible they will go a
step further and try 60 prevent the dele
gates TO the national convention from be-
ing instructed for Bryan. Mr. johnson of
Douglas county is the present national
committeeman and he Is a candidate for
endorsement.
The Bryan supporters claim that they
can defeat any effort made by the john
son element to secure anything like an en-
dorsement for anything that they want,
and that they will not stand for anything
that has the appearance of an effort to
discredit Mr.. Bryan in the convention.
In certain circles congressional candi-
dates have been the topic OF conversation
and an effort has been made to draw A.
E. Hitchcock OF this city into the cam
paign. which, however. has been without
first consulting Mr.. Hitchcock. In card
in the Daily Republican this evening Mr.
Hitchcock absolutely declines to listen to
any such an arrangement being made that
would include him as a candidate.
The contest on delegates from the sew
eral districts is likely to be close, partic-
ulary from the Black Hills. 1t is not an
ticipated that any definite action will be
taken by the convention In the endorse
ment of candidates for the state ticket
other than to express some preference.
John Stransky of Pukwanna the candidate
two years ago, is again being groomed for
the nomination for governor, while La
Toilette of this city has a great many ad-
mirers for the place. There is little or no
discussion of congressional candidates. To-
night the democrats will hold a meeting
for the formation OF a Bryan club, at
which 1t is very probable the hands of
various communities will be displayed.

SToCKMEN MEET AT CHEYENNE
Question of Leasing of Public Domain
Most Important Topic of
Discussion.

Cheyenne will be filled with live stock
growers tomorrow when the annual meet-
ing of the Wyoming Stockgrowers assoclf-
ton, one OF the oldest live stock organize
tions in the west. viii be held. At this
meeting the annual cattle roVndups will
be arranged, and the reports of estray
inspectors at the market centers will be
received. These inspectors pick up estrays
which are sold and the proceeds returned
to the rightful owners. These inspectors
have saved to the cattle raisers OF wyom
ing, and those of nearby towns in ad-
joining states. many thousands of dollars
annually, and since the system was in
augurated upwards of a million and one
half dollars have been saved to the mem
bers. But for this system OF inspection
thousands of cattle belonging to both
small and large owners would be lost to
their owners.
At Tuesdays meeting one of the most
important matters for discussion will be
the handling of the remaining unoccupied
range For several years the Wyoming
association has favored not only govern
ment control, but some form OF leasing
Last year when this matter was up for
discussion hot fight was waged on the
floor of the convention. but the advo-
Gates of leasing. backed by more than
fifty proxies of absent members, carried
the day. Almost all of these proxies
were voted by President w. C. Irvine.
Since the last annual meeting of the
cattle growers 1t is understood President
Irvine has experienced a change of opin-
ion, and as he will preside Tuesday, and
will probably have large number of
proxies to vote, the outcome of the dis
cussion OF the leasing question will be
awaited with interest At Douglas last
December Presidnt Irvine attended a mass
meeting which passed resolutions unani-
mously against federal control, leasing
etc. and It is said that President Irvine
not only took very active part in the
mass meeting but he also cast his vote
for the anti-leasing resolutions.
The annual meeting of the state board
of sheep commissioners will also be held
next Tuesday, when important matters
affecting the sheep and wool industry
will be discussed. A new order governing
the importation of sheep and bucks to
Wyoming will probably be issued by the
board.
