FL PASO, Mar. 7.-Listening to speeches occupied the attention of the Panhandle and Southwestern Cattle mems convention Wednesday. The real business of the association came Thursday, when the selection of the next meeting place, the election of of- ficers and other matters occupied at- tention.
 Governor w. c. Mcdonald, of New Mexico and Judge J. N. Browning and '. M. Cureton, both candidates for congressman at large from Texas, were among the speakers Wednesday.
 Attacks U. S. Foreign Policy
 The United States government was taken to task by Judge J. N. Browning first speaker Wednesday, candidate for congressman at large on account of it's "nambie pambie" foreign poli- cy when American citizens are in trou ble in foreign lands" as he said.
 On this subject he said: The for eign policy of this government is what people are interested in right now. want this government to act like the British government in these foreign affairs. When our citizens are in Jail across the river our consul should get them out. When an American is plac- ed in jail in a foreign country, our consul is always the last to intercede. don't agree with the policy of our government in foreign affairs and want to see a rigorous policy adopted Instead of sending our battleships out on the sea to show off, send them ip- to ports to Lombard the towns when Americans are held there by foreign authorities.
 Tn Mexico as in other foreign coun- tries the policy of our country is the same, and I want to see our govern ment enforce more vigorous policies in this respect so that our Old Glory will mean something to us.''
 Governor Mcdonald Speaks.
 You people do not seem to realize that because a man is elected gover- nor of a state, it does not give the man any more sense than he had before and sometimes it acts the other way dnQ QOCo nOI 5lNC Allh do 1uuSu, Sdiu Governor w. c. Mcdonald, of New Me- xico, before the cattlemen's meeting. There is a great benefit in an associa- tion such as the Panhandle and South western Stockmen's association is and at the conventions of the association, the members of the association are given a chance to meet and discuss their business. It is, the same as it was in the old days when the cattle men would meet under the tree to talk things over and then as now, for the purpose of protecting their own cattle. There is not bit of difference in the two metings. Cattle conditions are continually changing along with the other changes. Organizations in the cattle business were primarily to stop thieving of your cattle. It still has the same purpose and some of the people, am glad to say, have stopped while there are others who have not. But the stealing of calves must be stopped.
 Tn New Mexico we have associa- tions of the cattlemen and they are very good ones, with the purpose of putting and end to thieving and to im- prove the sanitary methods of cattle"
