TAYLOR ON
BOGUS PRIMARY
DELEGATED PRIMARY MAY OVER
RIDE THE WILL OF THE
MAJORITY.

! WASHINGTON, D. c.. Feb. 26.-
Senator Taylor today made the follow
ing statement for The Tennessean:
Il think the state committee over
looked the fact that a great majority
OF the democrats of Tennessee demand
direct primary for governor, and
think in all cases the majority ought
! to rule. This Is a fundamental prin-
ciple Of democracy. A direct primary,
| II it is honest, is the only manner OF
deciding an election exactly right:
while delegated primary may be
made to override the will OF the ma
jority.
1T is always right to do right, and
when 1t became clearly manifest that
the majority of the democrats OF Ten
nessee wanted a direct primary, It
should have been ordered by the COM
mittee, because It is right and because
it is their right to demand It. While
| would not attack the motives OF the
honorable gentlemen who compose the
, majority Of the committee, am sure
they have not reflected the will OF the
majority OF the people.
y think the primary ordered by the
committee is only a new method Of
ordering a convention. Besides, It's
acton will distranchise thousands OF
good democrats In Tennessee and pro
hibit them from having any voice IN
the nomination OF governor okTemr
nessee think It is high time tha4
our leaders we're ringing the harmezw
bells rather than sounding notes e
discord on the eve of a great political
battle.
THE party was split in twain IN -
in our state upon the money question,
but old scores were forgiven, and
those who had voted against its NOM
inees came back to the ranks. The
spirit OF conservatism and good judg-
ment should prevail rather than the
spirit of violence and revenge. am
chly speaking In behalf OF the demo
cratic party and without PASSION, de-
ploring the mistake which has been
made. My position is thoroughly un.
derstood in Tennessee. which Is tfsst
the majority ought to control, and
from which 7 shall never recede until
the end
II commend The Tennessean for the
bold stand It has taken upon this ques-
tion. and hope II will continue to
sound the trumpet warning to the
people until our Legislature passes
compulsory general primary law"

SELECTION OF

Taken as a whole, there is no
marked difference between the early
maturing qualities OF the Poland

or Berkshire breeds Of hogs. Neither

marked superiority over the other as
to the rate at which flesh may be laid
on or the cheapness of gains. The

ly, fecundity. rate and cheapness of
gains, a more marked difference will
be found between individuals OF the
same breed than between any of the
above breeds taken collectively. 1t is
therefore necessary whether breeding
pure-bred hogs or grades TO consider
the individual carefully when select
ing breeding animals.
The fecundity of sows always ap-
peals to hog raisers. The size of lit

litters were; Poland China, SIS pigs

breeds will vary from three or four
to ten or more pigs to the litter. Con-
finement and overwhelming tend to re-
dhce fecundity. Again, sows that are
sluggish or overrefined In type are
usually Indifferent breeders. So far
as known the SOW controls the size OF
litters, and since fecundity is largely
an individual or family characteristic
1t is good policy to select brood sows
only from litters of which at least
seven pigs have been successfully
