we have sent to the penltentiary election officials for deeds morally not one whit worse than what was done by the members of the national committee who nnseated the two properly elected delegates In this ninth district of Alabama and sub stituted for them men who have no more right to vote in the national convention than a repeater has to vote at an election The majority of the committeeman thus voted to sit in the Republican contention men who have no shadow of right to rep- resent any portion of the Republican party anywhere and who have no more right to sit in that convention than any other two outsiders. Nine of these committeeman came from the Republican states of Illinois, Kan sas, Missouri. New Jersey, North Da- kota, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and West Virginia. Every one of these nine national committeeman has been repudiated by his home voters Not one of them will succeed himselN on the national committee. Each of them represents q state which at the recent primaries has declared over whelmingly against Mir Taft. The nine states in the aggregate have BOP delegates in the convention, of which 25S are for Roosevelt and only 34 for Taft. The nine committeeman are for Mir. Taft, the delegates from their states are 8 to l against him.
 Tt is in view of these facts and of what these facts foreshadow that wish to make my appeal to the so- Der judgment of all men who believe that the usefulness of the Republican party has not ended. Every man who wishes to see the Republican party continue to exist should at once pro- test against those who are deliber- ately proceeding to wreck it. The leaders spesk as if they were the reg ular Republicans. don't concede that theft is test of regularity. The Republican party is not in commis- sion nor has it appointed as it's re- ceiyers the nine repndiated commit teemen l have mentioned nor their other colleagues who have in similar fashion been repudiated by the pop ular vote of the Republicans of their states. or is the question now at issue one as to the personal prefer ence of any Republican for any par ticular man for president or for the doctrines which that man embodies The question is now merely whether the deliberately expressed judgment of the great majority of the rank and file of the Republican party is to be no less deliberately nullifled by the very men whose leadership has just been repudiated by this same ma jority nomination obtained by the votes of delegates seated in utter defiance of justice as these two Ala bama delegates have just been seat ed, would be worthless to the man obtaining it and would be indignantly repudiated by the party as a whole. Apparently certain national commit teemen and certain of the bosses, who from the outside, influence the na- tional committee, have yet to learn that the rank and file of the Repub- lican party must be treated as the masters and not the servants of their representatives. The Republican par> ty cannot continue to exist unless it's official action is determined by the expression of the sober and deliber- ate judgment of majority of the party"

DESPITE POLITICS
The Big Conventions Do Not
Deter the Business Hustlers.
Exception to Rule.

New York. June 9.-Representatives
of the large Industrial corporations say
that so far there has been no Interrupt
ton to business. 1t was believed the
Chicago contest would cause some hes
itation among consumers but there
Seems to be more or less Indifference
as to the outcome. For the last eight
months orders of the steel companies
have exceeded production, and 1t is re-
markable that so far this month incom-
ing business compares favorably with
that of May.
The Steel Corporation will proba bly,
show little change In untitled tonnage
for June. but several of the independ-
ent companies report an increase.
From this it is presumed that June
generally Will show up as well as the
preceding month. One of the favora Bile
features has bene renewed buying on
the part of the railroad companies.
The head OF one large corporation
said: while the contest In Chicago was
a bitter one, our customers do not APP
pear alarmed over the outcome. Bus
mess has been depressed for the last
several years, and the opinion seems to
be that good start has been made to-
ward recovery. with every prospect OF
continued betterment. regardless OF the
outcome Of the presidential election in
November. Give us good crops, and we
shall be able to surmount the obsta-
cles that generally arise in presiden-
tial year. There will be less wheat
this year but. from present Indications,
the value OF all crops will be larger by
several hundred million dollars than In
the preceding year."

the history of any Southern State.
Tenant Farmers
In Virginia about three fourths.
while In North Carolina only slightly
more than one-haif. OF the farmers
own their own lands. This comnara-
tive small number of farm owners is
naturally to be expected because of
the raising of cotton in North Caro-
Ina. OF the tenant farmers in the
state two-thirds work on share
basis and one-third pay cash rent.
or a total of lSS.o69 white farmers
In North Carolina. $4,000 own their
farms. while 1900 are cash tenants
and $4,000 are troopers. out of &c 600
negro farmers, 22,0O0. or about one
third, are owners, 1900 are cash
tenants. and $4,000 cultivate their
lands on "A share basis.
Because of the wider practice of
tenant farming in North Carolina, the
cash outlay for labor is less than in
Virginia During the year 1910 North
Carolina farmers paid out in cash ST.
100000 in wages to farm laborers
They also expended sl.50O,000 in the
form of rent and board. BY far the
