TODD and MERCER.
They Win Two Big Offices in Stock
mems Association.

All signs Of a fight for control of
the stockmen's association disappear
ed late Wednesday afternoon when w.
J. Todd. of Maple Hill, was unanimous
ly elected as president Of the associa-
ton and J. H. Mercer Of Chase county
won the salaried office of secretary. The
hghting spirit of the cattle men van
ished when W. L. Ironjaw) Brown OF
Kingman nominated Thomas Potter OF
Peabody as president. and George e.
Tucker of Eureka withdrew as pres
Sdential candidate and nominated J. H.
Todd as a compromise. Then Potter
withdrew from the fight. Todd was
unanimously elected president ana
Tucker was made vice president Of the
association With Mercer as secretary.
That was the only fight on the pro-
gram for the Topeka meeting Of the
0tockmen's association. OF course
there was a scramble for location OF
the offices of the association, but To-
peka wen over Wichita and the paid
secretary will maintain headquarters
here.
Another storm cloud on the horizon
Of the stock shippers was the elimina-
ton of commission men and bankers
from membership to the state organi-
xation. A number of bankers and COM
mission house representatives wanted
memberships in the association, but
the new constitution prohibited their
acceptance and a motion tc amend the
constitution was badly beaten.
Over $50 stockmen attended the
banquet at the Presbyterian church
last night. Six stockmen responded
to toasts and the principal address
was given by President Henry ]. Wa
tiers Of the Kansas State Agricultural
college. The banquet, which was
served by the ladies of the t'hurch
shortly after o'clock. is an annual
affair with the stockmen. The MEM
bers of the association discussed stock
problems at the banquet and all ap-
peared to have had fairly prosper
GUS year.
T. M. Potter of Peabody was the
POSTMASTER. President Waters, in his
address at the close of the program,
said that the greatest meat shortage
In the world was now facing the peo-
pie. He pointed out the blows that
have been dealt the cattle business this
year and how we'll the stockmen had
survived It. The drouth last summer
made the market idle this winter. but
the Kansas cattle men have survived
their troubles. he said.
Waters spoke of the need of insur-
ance to cattle men. The raising of
stock is one of the few businesses
that insurance has not been provided
for. The silo, which has been grow
ing in favor during the past two years,
has been the cause of good forage
crops where it is used.
