FL Pls0 FOUGHT
A HARD BATTLE
W. W. Trney's Efforts
Contributed Much to Sc
curing Convention.

Several Of El PasO's victorious boost
ers who secured the 1913 convention Of
the Texas Cattle Raisers' association for
this city at the Fort Worth meeting are
expected to arrive in FL Paso tonight
over the Texas & Pacific. The delegation
VIII not all return tonight, as many OF
them took side trips while in the east
ern part Of the state.
FL PasO had a battle royal in securing
the convention Tor this city at the Fort
Worth convention and three ballots were
taken before 1t was decided.
On the first ballot FL Paso had SO
votes; Oklahoma City and Fort Worth
tied with S. and Houston got 80, ac-
cording to the Fort Worth Star-Tele-
gram. The second ballot showed FL PasO
with 10 votes, Oklahoma City los, and
Fort Worth 102. After this ballot, Fort
Worth withdrew and threw its strength
to Ell PasO. The final ballot showed
Ell Paso the winner with 1872 votes
against Oklahoma CitE's 15S.
Speaking of FL PasO's fight for the
convention the Fort Worth Star ele-.
gram says:
~El Paso's claims TO the convention
were forcibly brought out by ". w.
Iurney, three times president Of the
Cattle Raisers' association.
-COndemning what he termed the in
different attitude OF It's members toward
