port simply because such other two
candidates received the largest vote
IN the other counties of the State.
would have caused'a protest from the
people of such county. 1t would
seem that the people of any county
ought to have the right to stand by
the candidate of their choice even
though he had not received enough
votes in other parts of the State to be
one of the two highest in the State.
Likewise, there were difficulties in
the way of prescribing that the two
highest in the particular county
should run the race over in that coun-
ty, for the reason that it might re-
suit in forcing the people of that
particular county to throw away
their votes on candidate who stood
no chance whatever for the nomina-
ton, and in the light of the first pri-
mary they might desire to change
their allegiance to some other candi-
date
Considering all these questions I
concluded that it would be best sim
ply to pro rate the vote of county
in the event no candidate received a
majority of the votes in that county.
AS before stated, I am not welded to
this plan, but would be willing to
have a second primary in those coun-
ties where no candidate received a
majority of the vote cast.
I think you and I agree upon the
preservation of the county unit sys-
tenn as being of paramount concern,
and beg to call your attention to the
fact that the fight that is now being
made against the Committees rule
comes from those who would destroy
the county unit system and give to
the city counties a power and a
strength in our primary elections
which violates the apportionment pre-
scribed by the Constitution.
I hope you will think about these
matters and let me have the benefit
of your opinion. I am not welded
to any particular plan, but wish to
see the county unit system preserved
and the majority rule established
Yours very truly, H. A. HALL.

JOHN II. BURNETT
OF ALABAMA WRITES A
LETTER.

Dear Mr.. Watson:-I notice in
your issue of July the 21st letter
from J. H. Davis, of Chavies, Ala, in
which he attacks Mr. Howard, and
also pays his respects to me by saying
that I have the reputation of riding
over the country on railroad passes,
and asks that Howard and | both an
swer his charges.
I shall say nothing about his state
ment as to Howard, but very cheer
fully make reply for myself When
l was nominated for Congress in
1899, I was the Assistant Division
Counsel for the Southern Railway. I
was not candidate for the nominal
ton, and when deadlock occurred
in the convention, and I was nomi-
mated as compromise man on the
first ballot that I was voted for, I
stated to the convention that I did
not desire the nomination, and could
not afford to give up my practice to
take it. The members of the con-
vention, while was still on the floor,
insisted that I should do so, and I &C
cepted the nomination, and was
elected.
In 1904, the only fight that I have
oVeI udu Ill Cuo pIIuudIy Was u1duo,
and the direct issue that I was
attorney for the railroads,and travel
ed on free passes. I met the issue
squarely on the stump, and referred
to my votes in Congress to show that
I had always been for the people
when the question of the people
against the corporations had arisen.
In a Democratic primary in which
about $500 votes were cast, 1 was
nominated by 5000 majority. After
the nomination was made, T made the
statement that. while I was not con-.
scious of any corporate influence hav-
ing ever affected my action in any
way whatever, yet I would not en-
barrass my friends or myself by be-
ing placed in a position where any
criticism could be made, or any apollo
gies required.
