of the state of New York and behind
the majority of the Republican lead
ers of the state of New York and not
put itself behind the minority Of the
Republican legislators plus 'Tammany
Hail."
Here great applause again punctu-
ated the coloners speech.
1.-The minority represents what
would have been progress quarter
of century ago and If the gentle
men had introduced it in the New York
Legislature rs years ago it would
have been laughed out Of court by
the spiritual forbears Of the individ-
uals who back it now.
81 congratulate you my friends
of the other side, on having been
dragged on by the slow procession OF
the age as far as that report is con-
cerned, but you are still Is years
behind the time and / would like to
do what lawyers call interplead. Mr..
Fassett, with Mr.. Barnes and Mr.
Livingston Wadsworth--I gave him
his geographical title-Mr. Barnes
and Mr.. Wadsworth. I warn you
that if you put this system in prac-
tice revolution impends and Mr.. Fas-
sett says that in his county it is al
ready being begun.
"The principle expressed in the re-
port of the minority does not repre-
sent little concession. 1t does rep
resent little progress; it does rep
argument that to have any progress
~, % SO
invites revolution, then do not pass
even the minority report
| Colonel Roosevelt continued:
1T has been contended that you
cannot tell what is meant by the ma
jority plank. You can tell and you
can tell it exactly. 1t means just what
it says. 1t means, or Senator Daven-
port has said that, as speedily as pos
sible, we shall produce the system of
direct nominations as advocated or
APPROVED forget the exact language
by Governor Hughes, which neces-
Sarily means practically that President
lSchurman has embodied in his reso-
lutions, that is, that as an irreducable
minimum there shall be the nomina-
ton by direct primaries of the legis-
lative officers of the state.
| The reason is perfectly simple for
discriminating between them and
other officers. Those are the people
that make the officers. If you have
the direct primary applied to the
member of the Legislature, then the
people have it under their control to
say whether that system shall be con-
tlnued or discontinued or whether it
shall be enlarged and still further an
piled.
we have listened to the eloquent
appeal of the gentleman from West
chester county. 1 would like to see
the direct primary tried in Westches-
ter county and see whether Senate
wainwright would come back"
Here the colonel was again halted
by storm of applause.

people," he continued, land then if

cal. We trust the people and Won do

cheers.
AN allusion has been made to the
case of Congressman Sibley. Great
sums were spent and improperly spent
in securing the nomination of Con
gresham Sibley. They were spent in
influencing direct primary just as
they would have been spent in infiu-
encing convention.
The difference was -" and again

by mingled cheers and Kisses.
Il will give you a chance to express
your dissent again." retorted the ex-
president. Great sums of money
were spent in influencing a direct
primary as they would have been
spent in influencing convention and
the difference was that because it was
IN direct evasion of nominations the
expenditure was found out"
The difference was that Mr.. Siblev
won't be congressman, whereas he
would have been, if they had not had

The gentlemen who present the

Cotton is and will continue to be
the most important crop grown IN
South Carolina. 1t brings more
money into the State than all otner
crons combined. While the Southern
farmer has practically a monopoly
on this, the most important crop OF
commerce on earth, the average far
mer is producing it, however, at
such a great cost his net profit is
small.
The worlds demand for cotton is
constantly increasing and to such an
extent it becomes necessary Tor the
Southern farmer to make improve
ments in his methods in order to
meet this increased demand without
increasing the area devoted to cot
ton. It should be the endeavor OF
every Intelligent farmer to encour-
age farmers of every class to diver
sify their crops and raise more live
stock, thus curtailing the acreage
devoted to cotton. The Increased de-
mand for cotton should be met by
producing more pounGs on small
ler area than is now devoted to tnat
crop. thus reducing the cost OF pro-
duction by intensive cultlVatoh

(2) By conserving the soil mols-
