 T am very sorry Senator Harding is not going to speak," the governor said, "as already have spent more than an. hour preparing my speech which hoped to deliver from the same platform I had expected to request that I be permitted to speak first, granting the courtesy to the senator of being permitted to answer me"
 Governor Cox spent today at the ex- ecutive office in the capitol looking after state affairs. In the evening he pardon ed three convicts from the penitentiary Interviewing each personally befor granting clemency Two convicts wht also had petitioned for pardons were sent back.
 You two boys have not told me the truth. You will have to go back for while," the governor told them. He had asked each man to tell the story If toe commission of the crime for whic,l he was convicted and facts leading up :o the crime. Out of several hundred prisoners who have been questioned by the gover- nor in connection with their applicdt'ons for pardons, he said the two today were the second and third whom he had sen. back to prison because it was appa they were not telling the truth. a

eral meant actual loss to the stockmen. The relatively low prices prevailing have been in goodly measure a result of the inability to obtain credits
 The present financial situation, how ever, following on the heels of severe drouths in both the Southwest and Northwest is bringing about a reduction of the cattle population which must in the end mean mounting beef prices and nationwide economic loss.
 "On a recent trip through west Texas and New Mexico, I had occasion to ob- serve that many pastures were unstock- ed or thinly stocked, and inquiry de- veloped the fact that owners were anx- ious to stock and had plenty of security but could obtain no loans.
 Many cattlemen wnose ranches were stocked were being compelled to liqui- date, and thousands of cattle which should normally be used for breeding. or at least for development into finished beef were being sold for slaughter.
 ''The sheep-raising interests of the San Angelo country are even more seri- ously threatened than the cattle inte- rests This is due in part to the finan- cial sringency, and is having it's bear ing on the cattle situation.
