THE TMo.THIRnS RInE

REFORE every presidential election there is
- talk of changing the rules Of the Democratic
convention which now require a two-thrds vote
at all the delegates to nominate a candidate
Many of the followers of Harmon and some of
the supporters of Wilson are advocating change
so that majority can effect a nomination. They
think that there is danger OF tie-up between these
leading candidates Under the two-thirds rule it
would seem that the way would be open for Bryan
to hold up the convention and prevent the nomi-
nation of a candidate he disliked
Naturally the Harmon men fear that Bryan
would take advantage Of the two-thirds rule to de-
feat the Ohio Governor, as he probably would do
for Harmon is the one candidate who particularly
arouses the ire Of Bryan. The Wilson men also fear
that the two-thirds rule might prevent the nomi-
nation OF the New Jersey Governor In the event
OF tie-up Champ Clark or Underwood or some
dark horse might be nominated and, after all
perhaps that might be hest for the Democrats
But in actual practice in conventions the two
thirds rule has not prevented the nomination of
the leading candidate. At the convention of 1892
majority of the delegates were for Mr. Cleveland
but not two-thirds Mr.. Whitney and a coterie
of shrewd manipulators arrived on the scene, and
they were not long in rounding up the necessary
twothrds, despite the opposition of Tammany.
The delegates we're to be had and Mr. Whitney and
his crowd got them.
At the convention of 1904 held in St Louis.
Judge Parker short of the necessary two-thirds
by considerable number, but he had a good ma
jority TO work on. Bryan wished the Hearst dele
gates from Illinois seated in order TO hold up the
nomination of Parker, but the fight was lost, and
the Parker boomers rounded up enough stragglers
without much trouble to nominate the Judge
In view of these experiences il is hardly likely
that the rules will be changed

which were at heart always in sym
pathy with the Union cause.
There was an older brother,
Thomas Hunt, who was elected to
Congress In the early ffties. He
gained national distinction because
he was the only member representing
a Southern state who voted against
the Kansas-Nebraska bill. That bill,
you will remember, brought the slav-
cry issue rapidly to the arbitrament
Of arms, because it was asserted by
the anti-slavery people that under
that law it. would be impossible to
convert the territories of the United
States in tho West into slave terri
tories, ultimately to become slave
states. The edito, of a newspaper IN
New Orleans ven.ured to say ~
criticism Of Thomas Hunts vote
against the Kansas-Nebraska bill
that it was what might have been ex-
pected from a man of his color.
"A few weeks later. when Thomas
Hunt was home, DR.. Hunt gave a
dinner party. In the course of the
dinner he said that the shameful in
timation respecting Thomas Hunt re-
quired an answer. He proposed to
make that answer. He was going TO

The meeting was held and William
Hunt was the second for his brother.
Had his brother fallen. he would in
stantly have challenged the editor
But with the first exchange of shots
the editor fell. mortally wounded.
For some years William Hunt and
his brother suffered from prevailing
public opinion so that they were
completely ostracized. although every
one knew that the intimation in the
editorial was not only false, but
brutal. But in the days after Louis
lana had Joined the Confederacy and
before Farragut's fleet sailed up the
Mississippi river in the spring of 1867
to capture New Orleans, William
Henry Hunt and his brother, although
living in practical isolation. never.

kindly, gentle-minded man carried a
pistol and it was known that he
would use it in case grievous insult
was made either to him or to any
member Of his family"

that although Greece consumes an
nually more than two and half mill
lion dollars worth of cotton imports,
which are consumed under three main
heads-raw cotton, cotton yarn and

ORGANIZER OF THE FARMERS
Tremendous influence vvisided Over
More Than 100000 Farmers by
President charlee Barrett.

A tremendous influence Is welded
over more than 100000 farmers from
| coast to coast by Charles S. Barrett
| president Of the National Farmers
! union.
Mr.. Barrett is Georgian by birth, a
| farmer by instinct, choice and inclina-
ton, and good one at that. Long ago
ne saw that the farmers about him
were not progressing very fast along
any 1ne-except plastering mortgages
on their crops and mules. He saw
mat there was lack Of system and
management on the farm; that the
farmer wasn't getting the fruits Of his
toll; that he was sullen, discouraged.
without ambition or hope.
He knew these conditions existed
among his own people, and he be-
neyed they existed elsewhere all over
the land. He began by organizing the
farmers in the middle Georgian coun-
ty where he lived. They held meet.
lngs, talked, planned and executed i'm
proved methods in their own work.
Unfortunate brothers were helped over
rough places. In few years that com.
munlty became model for highly cul-
tlvated farms, contented and prosper
Gus people, and moral and educa.
tlonal forward movement of great pro,
portions was started.
Inc Farmers union movement be.
gan In Texas, and Georgia was one
OF the first states to take 1t I'D. A
spirit of unrest and vague longing was
abroad, and men dreamed of great
things through this new organization.
Young Barrett at once saw the posi-.
Dllity of organization among the farm,
ers. He began as state organizer
and he planted locals in nearly every
county in Georgia.
Then they elected his president OF
the state organization. The mans
force, his burning zeal to help his
people and his rare capacity for lead
ersh1p developed amazingly. He made
the Georgia union the most powerful
IN numbers and influence In the or.
ganization. He developed a business
department that saved the farmers
ouSanus Oh dOllarS on fertilizers and
supplies. When manufacturers tried
to checkmate him, he raised money
among the farmers and built fac
tories.
After two years as the Georgia pres

disrupt the union. They turned al.
most unanimously to Charles Barrett.
When he took hold, the union had less
