mary will be watched with the keenest
interest by politicians all over the
country. President Taft's friends have
assured him that he will get the vote
of the state. On the other hand. the
candidacy of Senator LaFollette will
be strongly urged there. At the same
time it is well known here that Roose-
vet sentiment is powerful in Nebraska
and this sentiment is expected to
show itself.
At all events instructed delegates
will so split up in the delegations of
these states that they will not be able
to present solid vote for any one
man in particular. Whether their vote
will be for Roosevelt, Taft, or La Fol
lette remains to be seen.
The various phases of the complex
political situation emphasizes the fact
that democratic success in the next
election seems to be assured. Taft,
while a strong candidate, extremely
popular with Wall Street and with the
other big interests" has not the con-
fidence of the people. On the demo
cratic side Harmon, Underwood, Clark.
Wilson, are the men wrom whom a
candidates will be chosen.

changes in the disorderly procession
of the months. Now enters Moses b.
Cotsworth OF Victoria, b. c., with a
proposal for a rational calendar He
would divide the year into thirteen
months, each of twenty-eight days,
which would leave one extra day in the
year, and this he beautifully plans as
a free day for every one--free from
interest charges on money, the neces-
sity to work, the wage scale, etc. Then
each month would commence on Sun
day and the first, eighth, fifteenth and
twenty-second days of each month
would be Sundays President EIadley
of Yale is quoted as saying that the

Why The cattlemen Should Come to
Oklahoma.

ONidfOiHds
Oklahoma City, March 4.-With an
awakening in Oklahoma for greater
agricultural possibilities, especially
through the growth of more alfalfa
and kafir corn, comes the need for
closer relation with the cattlemen OF
the Southwest; and the realization
that their interests are identical with
those of this rich young state Moth
| ing could be more conducive to a bet
ter realization of these facts than that
the convention of 1913 should be held
in Oklahoma
The Cattlemen's Association has
nearly two thousand members, and is
easily the most important organization
of the southwest, its chief member
ship coming from the states of Texas.
| Oklahoma, New Mexico, Kansas and
Missouri.
Originally the greatest object of the
association was to prevent cattle steal
ing; but with the development of the
country the eradication of the fever
tick has taken an important place in
the work of it's members. The gov
ernment report of the bureau of aniA
NAL industry reveals that from JulyA
1906 to April, 1911, seven Oklahoma
counties were released from quaran
tine and admitted to all cattle mara
kets, and parts of as many more coun.
ties were likewise given relief.
No less an authority ventures the
assertion that if equal progress. il
made during the next ten years, wv :
enemy of the cattle industry will hayt
entirely disappeared from not only Oh
lahoma, but from Arkansas md Mis-
sissippi Notwithstanding this pre-
gress, such eminent authority as job
Fields of the Oklahoma Farm Journ5
declares that the annual loss of tE
cattle business in this state alon
from the presence of fever ticks
five million dollars. While congratuls
ing the cattlemen for the progras4-
that they, with the assistance of th
government, have made the great nj
cessity for further work is apparel
Nothing has added so many dollai
to the purses of the cattlemen of tn
section in recent years as the esta
lishment of the National Stock Var
and two immense packing plants s
Oklahoma City.
The rectn adjustment of freig
rates is another factor that is provis
of inestimable benefit, since it i
only gives a closer market for th9
sands of Oklahoma cattlemen;
adds another market to the field.
Gently through the efforts ofethe Oh
homa City market the railroads hs
been induced to reduce the minim
weight for a car Of calves from
900 lbs. to 1900. this being ab
what the average car weighs.

before, and today she is contribui
