on the contrary, showed a remarkable in
crease, the value of the output being declar-
ed at f1,3O2, as compared with 1892 in the
year previous. The cotton industry is one,
however, which for various reasons, does not
find favour in the planting community, and
that this is SO is borne out by the fact that
cotton cultivation is being largely given up
by those who were engaged III it during the
year under report.

can party were chosen In November
they voted in the electoral college for
the candidate OF the Republican par.
ty; II the electors OF the Democratic
party were successful they voted for
the candidate of the Democratic par
~.
But In both instances there was a
united party and the convention was
the voice OF the party.
Now things are different. The voice
of the party In certain localities has
been heard through primaries. When
California Republicans announce by a
presidential electors to vote for Theo-
dore Roosevelt for president, does It
lie In the mouth OF a convention Of
hand-picked delegates at Chicago to
say that the regular Republican can
didate for California electors is VII
liam Howard Taft?
That is the QUESTION which recent
history has forced to the front
Which shall govern the party-the
primary or the convention?
To which mandate shall the elector
the man chosen TO vote for the par
~ candidate"-listen?
The presidential elector as created
by the constitutional the theory Of
the constitution-does not have TO
listen to anybody He is the sole
Judge. He was made superior even
to law. Even a corrupt practices act
could not touch him. II he wished to
sell out, that was his personal affair
In theory, he was a respected and
trusted member Of the community
chosen to go into conference with
similar gentlemen from the other
communities and to cast the vote OF
tho state for whatever man he might
decide would be good president
When parties came into being the
electors found themselves bound by
ties OF honor to vote for the candidate
Of the party whose votes elected
them. They were-in effect-"in-
structed." IN no instance has an cleo
tor violated his instructions.
But what Is an elector TO do IL he
Is chosen in a state where the party
voters have given instructions through
primaries to vote for Roosevelt. and
the party's national convention
through what is charged with being
fraudulent manipulation, instructs
him to vote for William Howard Taft?
Such is the momentous question
which looms ahead.
In every state, candidates for presi.
Dental electors have been nominated
at state conventions. II has been GUS
tomary to name them in advance OF
the national convention on the as
sumption that they would vote for
the candidate named at the national
convention.
But that assumption was part of
the system which did not know presi-

CHICAGO, July 1.-The issue Is
clearly defined, There is no getting
around the fact that the national con-

cent national conventions appear like
secret sessions OF the deaf and dumb.

Dental primaries. The presidential
primary has como and has knocked
the old system into a cooked hat. The
presidential elector stands between
the two systems and suddenly he asks
himself: Why should | not exercise
my constitutional privilege and do as
| please? II | please 10 disregard a
boss-rldden convention and stand on
the mandate OF the primary, who is to
prevent my doing so?
As matter OF fact the electors in
states like California and Pennsyl-
vanla will-it is already 80 announced
disregard the Chicago convention
and carry out their primary instruc-
tions.
Thus we have the remarkable situa-
ton that in a great Republican state
like Pennsylvania, President Taft
claiming 10 be the candidate OF the
Republican national convention can
not get on the ticket.
In Nebraska II is said that Taft will
be unable 10 get on the ticket except
by petition. In Kansas IL is left to
the county clerks TO say whether he
Is entitled to get on the ticket mark
ed Republican" and as Kansas Is
not enthusiastic for Taft he will
probably find the county clerks lined
up against him
Speaking broadly. the IS TO 20 pri-
mary states OF the north which went
for Roosevelt will insist on putting
Roosevelt electors on the ballot as
their expression OF Repubicanism.
Taft's strong showing in the southern
states and insular poss0ssions--so val
liable TO him at the Coliseum conven-
tion-will do him no good at the No
vember elections.
In several of the eastern states, not
ably New York, the situation will be
reversed and Roosevelt electors will
have to be put on the ballot by petit
ton. Illinois may also be in this
class. For this purpose the Progress
sive" party will be organized and 1t
Is assumed will name Roosevelt as
It's candidate.
In case the college of electors does
not show a majority for one of the
candidates, the election goes TO the
house OF representatives, where the
states vote as statesAnot as delega-
lions.
As the house OF Representatives is
controlled by the reactionary Demo-

1T seems that the parting OF the
ways has come, that the lineup or
the future will be progressive versus
conservative" says the Grand Ledge
Independent in an editorial upon the
political situation. THE old party
names viii grow to mean less and
less. IL seems equally certain that
the people are aroused and that the
old type OF political control and politl-
cal boss will have 10 make way for
newer methods. Whether equally OBJ
noxious conditions and equally AFRO
CANT bosses will come out OF the new
order remains TO be seen. The stu
alton presents great opportunities
alike for the patriot and for the op-
portunist and papsucker who Is
enough OF a seer to correctly divine
the near future and alight upon the
right side of the fence Notwith-
standing this there Is a deep seated
conviction embedded in the minds
and hearts of the nation that new
order Is needed whereby government
shall be more responsive to the plain
citizen. Roosevelt, Wilson, Bryan, are
not this movement. but they are the
most available mouthpieces the peo-
pie can find to express their wishes"

Crediting Col Bryan with a ire
mendous victory in obtaining the
adoption OF his resolution attacking
the Wall-st interests at the Demo
cratic national convention, the Adrian
Times says: Heretofore the opposi-
ton to Wall-st and its manipulators
has consisted in muttered impfecs-
tions and yelled threats. But now
comes the Great Commoner and In
open convention denounces the money
power and all its votaries in such
singing terms that there can no
longer be any doubt as to the atti-
tude OF the majority of the Demo
cratic party toward them. Col. Bryan
has removed all cobwebs, all hest
fancy, all doubt as to how the con-
vention should act The scourging OF
the money changers has been made
complete and thorough"
Expressing keen disappointment
over the denomination of President
Taft the Hastings Banner says:
The Banner had hoped that the
convention would select a new man,
and get away from the awkward stu
alton which the bitter contest between
Taft and Roosevelt had created II
would have been the part of wisdom.
so II seems to us, to have turned down
both OF them, and selected some Re-
publican leader who was progressive
in his POLITICAL principles. The pri-
mary vote in II Republican states Of
two to one against Mr.. Taft. In total
of nearly 100000 Of Republican
votes, had plainly indicated that Mr..
Taft was not acceptable to the rank
and file of the party, and also Nhat
the rank and file did favor progressive
principles.
I'VE confess that personally we did
not and do not like the idea "a third
term president. We did not admire
some of Mr.. Roosevelt's methods in
his campaign for the nomination. But
we can not think that those considera-
tions or any other could justify the
high-handed methods that were used
by the national committee to give the
nomination to Mr.. Taft"
