most vigorous speeches of the day.
He told of the immense handicap
under which the transportation bust
ness of the United States was con-
Quoted in the great war, assembling
the fact largely to a "pernicious
system of concentrating at a few
import trade. All the great trunk
lines Of our railroad system led from
those ports and ramified the country.
All the lesser lines, east, west and
south, were made tributary to those.
Therefore, when the necessity arose
for immediate mobilization and
transporta ton of this almost un-
thinkable volume of traffic, the logi-
cal result was congestion, confusion
generalization and incalculable loss
Of time and money.
1.-The reactionary force of this de-
plorable condition was disastrously
felt in every department Of our in
dustrtal life. Ships could not find
berths in these ports, loaded cars
could not be unloaded, empty cars
that had been unloaded actually
could not be taken out because of
the blocking of the tracks and ter
minals by loaded cars that had later
arrived, causing a dearth of rollins
stock both for domestic purposes
and for transporting to the ports
export stuff. In a word, the condi-
ton of these ports was such thai
you could not get loaded cars ir
nor empty cars out.

easily called together. 1t is we'll es-
tablished practice and good practice
for the executive committee to dele
gate to subcommittee certain rou-
tine duties in connection with the
holding of primaries.
Thus the authority of the sub
committee goes back to the COM
m1ttee. The authority of the COM
m1ttee goes back to the convention.
The authority of the convention goes
back to the mass of the members
composing the party. In the mass
rests the sovereign authority. No
authority exists in the convention.
the committee or the subcommittee
except the authority delegated to
them by the members of the party.
Qualifications for Voting
Inc subcommittee has a perfect
right to close the door of the pri-
mary to all except members of the
party, so far as voting is concerned.
otherwise the primary would be
open to everybody and we would lose
our Democratic identity. But right
at That point take divergent view
from some of my brethren. They
contend that the subcommittee au-
thority goes to the point of allow
refusing to allow us to vote upon
that man. And in that position,
which is taken by the subcommit-
tee in this particular primary, it
is established, or attempted to be
established, a precedent which de-
stroys the sovereignty of the voter.
In other words, it becomes a case
where the creature dictates to the
creator
THE exercise of the individuals
preference in the primary is a SOW
ereign right. That is to say, all
who are admitted to vote in the pri-
mary must necessarily be allowed to
vote as they see fit. Otherwise the
primary bcomes a farce. The sub
Ecommittee within itself has no au-
thority delegated to it by the mem
bers of the \party, whose will is
sovereign within the party.
Members of the party have the
right to call to their leadership any
man. Their choice of leadership is
sovereign choice. They are the
supreme judges of the question
whom they shall call to their own
leadership. If they wish to call a
man who has not previously been
identified with their party, that is
their right, and no subcommittee
no committee, no convention, is au-
thorized to prevent the exercise of
that right.

NEW ORLEANS, La, March 12.-Liver-
pool today came about 80 points higher than
due on yesterdays variation in our markets,
bet there is no more regular rela ton of
action between the markets, and as we have
been advancing recently where Liverpool de-
clined, it was thought that reverse action
was likely now that Liverpool advanced.
Spot prices are 30 up, sales 5000 bales. The
map presented much better conditions than
were expected on Yesterdays forecasts.
Generally cloudy for the belt, practically no
rain for the western half of the belt and
the greater part of the Atlantics, but gen.
eral precipitation in parts of Louisiana,
Mississippi Alabama, Arkansas and Ten
nessee, heavy in localities. Indica lions
are for clearing, colder, preceded by rains,
northeast quarter of belt. The outlook is
for improvement in conditions for crop
work. The market opened unchanged to Il
up on more buying on the higher Liverpool
on rains in the belt, but dropped 90 to 30
points soon after the first call on the
break in the sterling rate and the outlook
for clearing, colder weather. The market
recovered the early loss, but support was
less active and reactionary disposition more
pronounced. probably In consequence of the
government forecast for clearing, colder
weather for the belt. Liverpool lost the
early advance as the sterling rate rallied to
3701h. Comparison of mill takings this
afternoon expected bullish Spot people
report some scattered export demand fcr
lower grades, the first sign of beneficial
effort Of advance on the exchange rate. .
