STATE ST0CkMEN
WILL MEET here
Midsummer Meeting in Ju|y-.
Farmers Union and Grange
At Same Time
THREE DAYS. SESSION

| Ihe 1nltlai meeting of our citizens
was held here last Saturday at the
Grand hotel to lay plans for the proper
entertainment of the midsummer met
ing of the Colorado Cattle and Horse
| prowers association. Besides the
| Glenwood citizens at the meetin.,
Frank ID. Squiers of Rifle and Fred T.
johnson Of Denver, president and sec
retary respectively of the state asso
cation, were present. and their many
suggestions were very valuable to our
people who are anxious to make the
stay of their association very pleas,
ant one in the city.
The date for the meeting was some
time ago fixed for July %, % and -,
and it is now announced that it is
quite probable that the state meeting
of the Farmers Union and also the
state Grange will be held here at ths
same time. Mr.. johnson expressed
some surprise that SO small a place as
Glenwood would undertake to enter
tam so many people as these three or.
ganizations will bring here at thar
time, but when it was pointed out to
him the societies and numerous large
conventions that Glenwood has enter
tanned and at the height of the season,
too, and when he was made aware Of
the exceptional facilities along the
line of hotel accommodations in this
town, he said he was satisfied Glen
wood could make good. .
Mr.. johnson says the stockmen will
transact the most of their real bust
ness the first day of the session and
the other two days will be devoted
largely to social recreation, mass meet
ings which will be attended largely
by the members of the other two or
ganizations and a general discussion
and better understanding of the Jaws
1t is proposed to initiate at the com.
ing election for the benefit of the
stockman and farmer He explained
that this will be an especially import
ant meeting for the reason that the en-
tire political plan is to be changed
this fall and the stockmen and farmers
throughout the state will be glad to
hear these proposed laws discussed
and to learn more of the primary sys
TEN which is to be tried for the first
time in Colorado this fall.
From the suggestions of Mr. John
son it is evident, unless he is poor
guesser, that the Glenwood meeting
will take on decided political tinge,
much more so than have any of the
meetings of the past and that tha
members will discuss in an intelligent
manner the matter of voting for their
own protection.
Messrs. johnson and Squiers believe
that it will be necessary for Glenwood
to make preparations for 1000 exSrl
people on the days their meetings Will
be held here, but everyone present as
sured them that we could and would
do it.
Several plans were discussed briefly
but it was thought best not to try TO
arrive at any definite conclusion at the
meeting, but to leave all details to a
speciah committee appointed for that
purpose Chairman Parkison of the
Glenwood Business Mems League pre-
sided at the meeting and Secretary Lu-
cas- recorded the minutes and Mr.. Park
ison was authorized to appoint COM
mittee to arrange detailed program
and another meeting of the league will
be called when the committee is ready
to report.
