Political affairs are very unpleasant in Iowa, but they all “stand pat” on President Roosevelt. Congressman Lacey has just returned from a hurried trip to the Roswell New Mexican Irrigation Field and the Wichita Game Refuge. The one problem with introducing a buffalo herd in the Wichita Game Refuge is the danger of Texas ticks. Lacey believes that Madison Grant and William T. Hornaday should consult with President Roosevelt before the animals are sent in.
