The meeting of the executive COM

was held yesterday afternoon in the
offices OF the state cattle sanitary
board in the Korber building, IN

business of the convention, which will

given that only routine business was
transacted during the afternoon.
The most important business of the
meeting was the appointment of the
finance committee, which was in
session until a late hour last night
going over the accounts Of the asso-
citation, preparatory to formulating d
report to be submitted to the conven-
ton. No word could he obtained as

AS a matter Of fact, little attention

Convention Politics.
Unless there is split between

GERS for the next year--a split that
can not be sewed up in the ordinary
course Of diplomatic negotiation. the /
next convention will go to the me- |
tropolis of the Texas panhandle. As

gan to swell there was less and less
