Other speakers charged" that "packer influence" was behind the effort to prevent Wallace's endorse ment. E. C. Collins of Kit Carson, Colo., declared "there is no opposi tion to Wallace except from the packers," He criticised Ammons, declaring. "I am not surprised that he is opposed to Wallace." Murdo Mac Kenzie of Chicago, at tacking the Wallace resolution, de clared if Wallace was appointed sec retary of agriculture, his first con sideration would be to "protect the people of Iowa."

Mac Kenzie Scores Packers. "Why not join hands with the commission men, or the ra-lroads," Mac Kenzie appealed. "When little business joins hands with big business," he continued, "big business profits and little tuisnesi gets swallowed up." "Do you want to join hands," he asked, "with the packers who, when mutton was so low that we :otild hardly pay the freight on it to mar ket sent t6 New Zealand and brought here in competition with your prod uct, nine shiploads of the for eign product. "That's not the kind of people we want to join hands with. We want to join hands with the men on the ranges, with, out own associations, and with our great leader, United States Senator Kendrick. "God knows the packers don't need your help. They can join hands with United States se.iators and choice their, legislation through and spend $4,000,000 for advertising and charge it to expense."
