hostility of the Herald toward me was
intensified. If 1.-THE capital of the railroad
company should be exempt from taxation,
on the theory that it develops the country,
the product of the toiler who performs the
labor TO develop the country should be
equally exempt.
Again the Herald was not pleased with
my Recommendation to the legislature
that some legislation be enacted to remedy
the evil, when the price of cotton seed had
reached its lowest ebb, whereby the Y. &
Nj. Y. Railroad Company received 81. so
ton for hitching its engine to the car and
hauling 1t 50 miles, while the farmer, who
worked the entire year to produce the
cotton seed and to gather them and to
haul them to the gin and to the railroad
and to load them on the car received only
$500 ton.
The oHerald sees everything through
the glasses of the railroad company.
Bryan advocated equality of right and
justice as between the shipper or pas
senger and the railroad companies, and
after ne was nominated in 1896 and in
1900, the Herald declared it 'repudiated"
the ticket. If the Candidate belongs to

the candidate believes in equal rights for
all, to use its own Ian guage, it ''re-
pudiates" him.
Again when | recommended to the
legislature the submission to the people of
an amendment to the constitution for an
elective judiciary, the Herald's wrath was
further intensified. The election of the
judges by the people gives every man an
equal voice in naming the judges; but
when they are appointed by the governor
only few participate in their selection.
Again, incurred the Herald's hostility
by my advocacy of primary elections, in
stead of conventions, to nominate can
