That Chicago Rate Conference
At the recent railroad rale conference
held in Chicago to endorse President
Roosevelts stand on the railroad rate
question and upon tho general question
of railroad control by the federal govern
ment quite a number of the Nebraska
delegates bolted the regular conference
and held a separate meeting of their
own
This is the list of names as they wore
reported at the Chicago meeting

So far as the McCook Commercial
club is concerned it is but fair to state
that the credentials carried by President
Barnett of the club were attested to by
the members or part of the members of
the executive committee of the club and
that no action was taken by the memb
ers of the club Hence Mr Barnetts
action in allying himself with the rail
road element which was refused admis
sion to the conference and held a sep
arate protesting meeting cannot in
any sense be regarded as representing
the sentiment of the McCook Commer
cial club on that question At least a
respectable element of the club is decid
edly opposed to such action and the
matter will very probably come to a de
cision at the first regular meeting of the
club
President Roosevelt should be endors
ee and if his Iriends in the club come
out as faithfully as the opposition will
he will be endorsed If his friends stay
at home he will be turned down
