Livestock association have their coats off They have two big jobs on hand One is to pack tha next convention to Salt Lake the other is to the adoption of a resolution favoring the leasing of grazing lands They have formed a combination with Idaho which has ninetytwo votes on both these questions and streAgth is being added to the combination hourly Mr Leary one of the most active members- of the Utah delegation said tonight I believe we have over 400 of the 690 votes in the convention In favor of Salt Lake as the next meeting place- I believe Texas will give us her entire vote We have a combination that is hard to beat and in my Judgment only a miracle can prevent the con- vention going to Salt Lake This afternoon the big fight on the leasing question was raised and d cussed during the greater part of i session Most of the speeches he o been against leasing The question arose a resolution favoring the leas- ing plea Against Leasing Proposition A substitute was presented by Mackay of Salt Lake against leasing snd the argument wan on it under the fiveminute rule Maokay Callister and Moyle of the Utah detonation were among those who spoke against the leasing proposal Mr Mackay pleaded for the snail stock owners who wcadd be forced out of business under any leasing ptaa Corporations would se- cure control of the ranges and add an- other item to the long list of unholy money comoinattone of wealth place another finger on trust Hand which InaUr chokhas fko life out of the otft teasing scheme Mr Moyle urged action stf the con veation that would place the stockmen in position to get possible re- sults in case the question had to be met He urged the stockmen to a provisional committee to take the matter up at Washington and se- cure the most favorable conditions pos- sible He was of the opinion that con- gress would pus a leasing law The argument will be continued in the morning Texas Keeps Out The Texas delegates indicate a wil- lingness tokeep out of this fight in- asmuch as all the range lands state are already leased by the stock men If Texas keeps hands off it Is safe to say that the substitutes will be adopted The committee named to draft a sketch of the land leasing bill to be pro sented to congress in case the conven tion endorses the scheme held a meet- ing tonight The majority adopted a draft which provides for division of range land into three classes First land with and water no person or corporation to lease over 5000 acres Second land with grasp and no water limit 75000 acres Third land without good grass and without water supply

Roberts case is voted onIn the house The postmaster generals suggestion in his note to Loud that he ought not to act on cases like that of Smith in of trial presents a startling to the violation of this rule by tHe house itself in ttfie Roberts But the difference In treatment is not aH surprising It has been known from the first that there would be only one side to the question of polygamy ao prnted in congress and that was the negative one The removal of Graham will be made i i i I con- trast case at mans ad- vance ¬ speeches on the case a huce ntmbetf against Rooertf and a few notable

Roberts who is regarded as a victim of circum- stances rather than a personal offend er even by the men who are fully pre- pared to vote against him There is already much dissuasion as to his pos-
