~ had n one besides himself suffer
ed the modification of a defeat at M
cago by President TAFT!
If he had stayed out Of the race and
left the field to Senator La Toilette and
Senator Cummins, would the defeat OF
either at the hands of ''the bosses
have furnished him sufficient reason
for leaving the republican party and
enlisting under the banner OF another
man?
Third-In view of Mr.. ROosevelts
denunciation of the republican party
as so boss-ridden as TO destroy its use
~fulness, it may be asked with propriety
whether Mr.. Roosevelt would have re-
garded the republican bosses as an in
superable objection to the party If he
had succeeded in seating enough Of his
contesting delegates to give him a ma
| iority in the convention.
! If he had controlled the nationa
committee by me vote and it hao
seated enough OF his southern dele
gates to dominate the convention.
would he not now regard the republi
can party as a peoples party, and the
only organization to be trusted?

the subject naturally divides itself in
to three heads.
First-Tbe reason which calls the
new party into existence.
SecOnd-Its platform Of principles,
Third-lts candidates.
1t may be assumed at the start tina,
to be permanent it must be more than
a party. However influential
a leader may be, he is hardly large
enough to form the foundation of a
great party. The mere fact that every
man must some time die precludes the
idea of permanence unless the new
party has something more endurable
to build upon than personality.
Several questions arise, and the an
swers to them will enable US to form
some opinion as to the importance OF
the new party.
First-Would "A new party have been
organized at this time if Mr.. Roose-

ditiOnS are such as to create a demand
for a new party, regardless of the
wishes or influences of any n or a

to be ephemeral

BARLOW COUNTY IN LINE
FOR COTTON ACREAGE CUT
Farmers to Meet March O.
Sentiment in County Behind
Rock Hill Plan

Joseph S. Calhoun, a banker and a
member of the Rock Hill committee
for Barlow county, was a caller at the
Rock Hill headquarters in Atlanta last
week. Mr.. Calhoun stated that a mass
meeting of farmers has been called at
Cartersville Saturday. March 8, to dis
cuss cotton acreage reduction.
Our farmers are deeply interested in
this question" said Mr.. Calhoun. Bar
tow is one Of the very best counties
in the state, but the low price of cot
ton was a blow to our farmers. They
raise considerable grain and meat, but
not near enough for their own needs.
Our county, like most counties in
Georgia, sends a large sum of money
away every year for food crops which
we ought to be making at home. We
are trying to bring up the production
of food crops and to stop over-preduc-
ton of cotton. 1 think sentiment in
Barlow is thoroughly behind this re-
duction movement, and we are going
to test it out.
I'VE will have number of short
talks talks from our farmers, and
Frank Weldon, the state superinten-
dent for the Rock Hill plan, has prom
Used to come up to the meeting"
NJ l.. Johnson, of Barlow county,
was in Atlanta Friday and said that
he would cut his cotton acreage about
one-third. Mr.. Johnson was president
for Georgia of the Southern Cotton
association, which handled the cotton
acreage reduction movement in 1905.
He says that the reduction this year
will be marked and that it will be cas-
Ter to get the farmers to agree to re-
duce now than 1T was seven years ago.
Il am going to cut about ITO acres
from my last years cotton and put II
mostly in peas
Il have long practiced diversified
farming and find that it is a most
profitable method for me. L always
have corn, wheat, oats, hogs, cattle or
poultry to sell.
"Our farmers ought to stop depend
ing on cotton. They will find that II
will pay them better if they will make
cotton their surplus crop, or side
line"
Mr. Johnson expressed his opinion
that cotton will be apt to be low in
price next fall
