will stand by any principle he claims to stand for.
He has demonstrated inability govern his mind and there
fore ncapacy reversed himself practically
important of his ugd and umbed situations which
demanded prompt and decisive and acted hastily which
required deep reflection and exhaustive analysis before Judgment
He has ded fellow for beliefs which he has subsequently
adopted and deserted pmoon only asa again and urn
accept.
He has peshferousy ecred with the affairs Of little nations while
upne permitting powers interfere freely with rights
He has countless hand upon the national honor and M
ered them the due date dhonorcd He has justified their selfish
seseeks and their cowardre co by breaking his
pledges for personal advaage degrading the lexicon Of patriotism with

NEED COOPERATION
Mill<men of Chicago District See Need
of More Economical Distribution.

Chicago, Nov. ia plan to reor-
ganiZe the production and distribution
of whole milk in the dairy districts
surrounding American cities was an
nounced today when the Milk Produc-
ers' Association of the Chicago Dairy
District issued a call for a national
conference of raw milk producers, to
be held in Chicago, December 5. This
association numbers 1900 members
within a radius of 200 miles around
Chicago.
The meeting will take place under
the auspices of the National Confer
ence on Marketing and Farm Credits,
which will hold it's fourth annual
gathering here December 49, At the
meeting the question of putting the
production and distribution of whole
milk upon an efficiency basis will oc-
cupy the attention of the producers.
The move is the result of crises
which have led to milk strikes by pro-
ducers in Chicago, New York, St
Louis, Joliet and other territories. I'M
mediately following these strikes have
come movements to reorganize the
producers methods of selling their
milk. So acute is the situation the
dairy farmers assert that delegates
will attend this conference from prac-
tically every important section of the
country. Delegates are hoped for
from New York, Ohio, New England,
Iowa and Missouri. Every '1ocal' in
the Chicago territory has been asked
to send a representative.
