Cotton is the most profitable crop known in agriculture and
1t is one of the most useful and powerful of American industries.
Millions cultivate the plant, as many more weave at its looms and
its fibre clothes mankind. The plant yields the Texas producers
a million dollars per day; its harvest moves the 1orlds currency
across the continent and, when marketed, the bulls and bears
of two h%emispheres tear at it until one or the other falls with
a crash that can be heard around the world.
The Texas Welfare Commission is studying methods of mar
keting cotton. W. 7. Loudermilk of DeIeon is chairman of the
sub-committee having the subject under consideration.

Favors Representative Rule.

Favors Representative Rule.
While the platform on which he
was elected governor did not endorse
the principle of the initiative and
referendum, as did the last Ohio
platform on which Governor Har-
mon was elected governor, yet Gov
ernor Wilson said in his ANNAPOLIS
speech that he was opposed to the
substitution of direct legislation for
elective representation, and that he
only favored a resort to the initia-
tive, referendum and recall IN local
administrative affairs as a reserve
power in the people to control their
representation. Even to this he
added:
Does it follow that |, Individual
ly, for example, advocate the adop-
ton of the initiative and referendum
everywhere? OF course not. 1t is a
question for each state. 1t is a ques-
ton for Maryland, for Virginia, for
New Jersey, whether she has con-
troll Of her affairs in satisfactory
fashion and whether, if she has not,
she wishes additional means of re-
covering that control. That is all.
Nobody can decide tt for Maryland.
Nobody can decide it for New Jer-
sey. 1t is her own domestic problem.
II she be fortunate, If her public
men have resisted temptation, if
they have always drunk from the un-
defiled waters from which our fore
fathers drank, then they need not
debate these questions
"In my judgment, il is both best
and e~xpedient to nominate Governor
Wilson, for he moves with the march
ing column of the democratic party
and is the only candidate who can
draw materially from the opposition.
1t is no easy matter to dislodge the
republican party from power, re-
sOurceful as it is, and fortified as ii
is with a vast campaign fund and
backed by all the elements which
seek to use the government to en-
rich themselves.
Predicts Taft's Nomination.
The popular plurality for Taft in
1908 was more than a million and a
quarter votes, and his majority in
the electoral college was 1873 votes
1t is a great task TO overcome this
tremendous advantage. Taft will be
renominated, and | believe Wilson j.
the only one of the candidates who
can hold the Bryan vote, and draw
sufficiently from the Taft vote to win
the election. This is necessarily
merely an opinion, but is is one based
upon careful inquiry and close OBJ
s~ervation.
The interest | feel in the nomina.
ton is not personal. 1t is founded
entirely on party and political con-
siderations, and as such | give it tc
you a. my deliberate opinion that the
nomination of Governor Wilson Il
the opportunity 10 unite the forces
opposed Il selfshness and privilege
in national affairs.
only by such unity Of purpose
and action can government by the
whole people for the general welfare
be restablished. -lSigned)

And take dog around.

We'd gather round ir hordes,
And make him take it in the woods
And fix Mp3 all tho roads.
II Bryan were to come here,
With him we'd have some fun;
I'd race with him down M2in street
I'd like to sec him run.
But II our friend Doc. Wilson
Would come to see us here,

And fill him up on beer.
