Mr. ALLEN. Were you present at this meeting that passed the reso- 

 lution that you first read? 



Mr. COWAN. Yes, sir; I was. 



Mr. ALLEN. Do you know personally the men who were there repre- 

 senting those different breeders 7 associations ? 



Mr. COWAN. I know some of them. I knew a good many of the men 

 who were delegates to the convention at Fort Worth. I was also a 

 delegate to the convention at Denver of last year. 



Mr. WILLIAMS. Do you know personally whether those gentlemen 

 are interested in the breeding and raising of cattle? 



Mr. COWAN. Nearly all of them. 



Mr. ALLEN. Nearly all of them? 



Mr. COWAN. Yes, sir. Of course, this national association is com- 

 posed of these various other associations. It is not composed of indi- 

 viduals. It has no individual membership. The Texas Cattle Baisers 7 

 Association is a member of the national association. In that live stock 

 association the breeders 7 association have representation, and send their 

 delegates there in proportion to the representation that is made by the 

 executive committee of that concern. I can not remember now just what 

 is the amount of representation which each one receives.
