mous Consent.
(Houston Post Special.)
SAN ANTONIO Texas March .1.
Tlie last official act of the convention was
to upset the claim of Fort Worth being a
eure winner of the meeting every other
year. By vote ol almost two to one
the delegates decided that in 1916 they
would conduct their deliberations in
Houston. It was the first time tliepllar-
ris county city has ever landed the con-
tention and. It came after years of un-
tiring efforts. At Fort Worth last year
Houston bid for the convention but San
Antonio was the choice.
Houston Vas placed in nomination by
Mayor Ben Campbell and the seconding
speech was made by Leon Sontleld of
Beaumont. It. J. Kleburg of Kingsville
a former president of the association
nominated Fort Worth and a second was
given in a speech by Louis J. Wortham.
After the vote had been tabulated
Louis J. Wortnam a Fort Worth publish-e-
who had seconded the Invitation for
that city" moved that the selection ol
Houston be made unanimous. This was
done.

tped in the election of 01 fleers. Kverv
place' from President Joe D. Jackson
'own was filled by unanimous consent.

ganization. What officers of the Cattle Raisers' as-
sociation of Texas believe to be the most
far-reaching act of the thirty-ninth an-
nual convention came at a meeting of
the executive committee of the associa-
tion this afternoon when a resolution
was passed calling upon the federal re-
serve board to extend the time limit o:i
the rediscount paper from six months to
nine months.
The resolution while prinarily intend-
ed to help the cattleman aial to encour-
He the increasing of the number of
srall cow herds over the State. Is worded
cd in such a way that agriculture in ail
its forms will benefit as a result.
