AS RUNNING MATE
Sentiment Growing for Former Illinois
Governor As Vice President
Candidate

Cleveland, OhiO.-President Coolidge

ceptable to him as his running mate.
There is every reason TO believe that
Mr.. Lowden, who was the choice OF the
old-line party leaders for first place
in 1920, will not resist a draft.
All this fitted in with a rapidly ris-

LIVESTOCK INDUSTRY HARD HIT
BY DECLINE IN CONSUMPTION
OF MEAT; RESULTS MANIFOLD

SAN FRANCISCO, April oS.--
The live stock industry in Califor-
MIA has fallen 80 per cent below nor.
NAL because the average man fears
that the hoof aud mouth disease will
find IFS way into his system via the
dining table, E. G. Rodolph of Mil
Ter and Lux, Inc, told the United
Press today.
There is absolutely no danger
to the human being in this epidem-
ie, except insofar as his poeketbooll
is concerned, Rodolph said,
g Not a bit of meat goes into the
butcher shops that is not inspected
and is perfectly fit for human CON
sumption. Yet people have an un-
reasonable fear OF the disease, many
Of them have ~quit buying meat,
others are eating less. Even ham
and eggs have been hit because of
restrictions on picnicking.
'The result is stagnation of the
live stock industry and incalculable
loss to everyone concerned with the
business.
Tracing the effect backwards,
we have the housewife eating some
thing else instead of meat. There
fore the butcher buys less from the
wholesaler, the slaughter houses do
less business and lay off men. the
