The following is the substance of an address delivered recently by A. C. Campbell at the banquet given by the Cheyenne Chamber of Commerce to the stockmen. “When I received the invitation to be present on this oc- casion, to torture host and guest for not more than fifteen minutes, in reminiscing in respect of the “Early Days of the inclination My knowledge of the c la rejected Hence, as h, I 1 knowledge respecting some e, who were engaged that business, in the eighties Cattle Busi to) decline tle business court my was t- in woul’ bo I am in. its have first per: in as nineties, I fefred it them and be dangerous to myself should I tel the “truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth” con cerning thi er T received the Invitation, 1 comsnulted E Irvine.

Each was an st in embellishing truth without distorting it. Sul’sequently he told one of Wyoming's United tates wenators that if one-half that he would exchange ten years of his he had heard at that dunch was true, experience in New York for two in Wyoming.

In this connectiom he said that to understand the motives which prompted the so-called invasion, one should be familiar with the back ground and understand the then o* range and other conditions which made it impossible to convict a rustler when detected, arrested and prose cute.

Believes Ford Has Chance In 1924 Election PORT HURON, Mich., June 23.— Mienry Ford would haye an excellent chance of winning if he heads a third party in the 1924 presidential mpaign, Burt D. Cady, republican state central committee chairman, de- clared here tonight. Michigan would go overwhelmingly for Ford on any ticket, Cady sai¢. Ford's best chances would be with a third party or as the democratic candidate, because nomination of him over Harding would-be a repudiation of the Harding administration, ac- cording to Cady. Should Ford attempt to inject the Newberry issue into his probab!e cam- paign, it would mean a heavy loss of votes to him, Cady predicted, al- though the farmers of his home state would back him for president ag they backed him against Newberry. “Ford has not an excuse to run for the presidency, according to my be- lef,” Cady said, “but he is the most We have a sales representative at the plant, Alliance, Neb., and you may direct a!l inquiries to the address given below.
