when he became governor in 1926 and changed it to q $2,000, ,000 surplus by 1928. Even in depres- sion 1881 there was q surplus.
 He had at once demanded sweeping changes in the state gov- crnments administration and or- ganization. He. changed the tax system completely. placed more than 100 dependent agencies under |a dozen modern departments and thus saved, with legislative ratifica- ton. an alleged $500, 900 year. In 1928 he put over q new constitu- ton with 47 changes which includ- ed the short ballot.
 Some of the measures he spon- sored required courage. He made the oil companies report on whole sale and retail prices on gasoline. He fathered the most drastic anti lynchlng law passed in any south ern state.
 Virginia limits her governors to a single term, but Byrd retired to his orchards with great prestige and unequaled political power. The Virginia assembly this year recom- mended him unanimously for the presidency.

BRIDGE ACROBAT DANCED ON THE
 WIRE AND CABLE

New York, June 24-(U. P.) = Joseph Peiierito. 21, who wanted a place Ito think things over" chose the thin strands of wire and cable atop the Brooklyn bridge for a game of hop, skip and jump with police 150 feet below. Patrolmen John McGonigle and James Rock yelled frantically to Pellerito to come down to earth. No. he had not the slightest intention of com ing down. They cried out not to jump, that an other bridge was much higher with an opportunity for bigger and better splashes. Pel- icrito called back that all he want ed was a quiet, solitary place to think.
 The officers finally enticed the bridge acrobat to race along the cables toward one end of the bridge. Pellerito got closer to the end than he planned, So McGon- igie climbed up gingerly and tag ged him. To-day Pelierito is under observation in a hospital.

 Mayor Thoms made 1t plain
 at yesterdays meeting of the plat form committee that while he,
 himself, has no blanks to offer he will support commitment of the
 democratic party to repeal of the 18th amendment. He claimed ut the meeting that the amendment has been both a moral and econ omic failure. Ex-Mayor Thoms
 also stated plainly that he will sup port any program offered by the | faction backing ex-Governor Alfrc' E. Smith of New York.

 The higher court voted six to six on the appeal, so because there was no majority sustaining the re- form clements case, the vote was q victory for Hague.
 Hague's first big accomplishment in New Jersey politics was the election of Edward l. Edwards as governor in 1922. Later, he sent Edwards to the senate, and George Silzer to Trenton as governor.
 The mayor became vice chairman of the democratic national com mittee in 1924 and tried to elect John w. Davis. He turned his own county, normally republican in presidential years, to Davis, but failed elsewhere in the state.
 The next year he elected A Harry Moore governor, but three years later failed to win New Jer- sey for Alfred l.. Smith. Moore was was elected for a second term last year; Hague wants to try agaiI with Smith, and he is leading ths fight for him.

constitutional amendment which would make that possible.
 Byrd has always been a moder- ate dry and his plan is far from radically wet. But the plan does undertake to harmonize the desire of the drys for Q popular vote in keeping with the intent of the con- stitution insofar as 1t provides for constitutional changes by two- thirds votes in congress and a three-fourths vote of the states. His proposed amendment is as fol- lows:
 "The congress, whenever two- thirds of both houses shall deem it necessary, shall propose an amend ment or amendments to or the re- peal of Article XVIII of the Amendments to this Constitution, or to any future amendments thereof, which shaii be valid to all intents and purposes. as part of this Constitution, when ratified at an election to be held in each of the sevcra: states on certain day to be designated by congress, by the majority of electors voting thereon in three-fourths of the several states. The electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for the electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislatures"
 Of course, before the Byrd amendment could be effective 1t would have to be passed by two- thirds votes of both houses and ratified by three-fourths of the states in the manner now consti- tutionally provided.
 Virginia democrats have en- dorsed Byrd for the presidential nomination on q referendum plat form. While the Virginia dcmoc- racy, now as in the past, is unalter- ably opposed to return of the sa- loon," the platform read, we favor a prompt referendum to the states in a form determined to be the best by the national convention in order to secure speedy action thereon

 Washington.--Form Governor Harry Flood Byrd, Virginia's can- dldate for the presidentcy. is a "fa- worife son" in every sense of the term.
 Virginia's 24 delegates will vote for him at the democratic national convention and he will control them throughout because he is un- .1uestionably democratic boss of the state. Furthermore. there is popular enthusiasm for him among VlrRinians which indicates that his name is not merely being used as a hitching poet pending a political trade.
 Byrd is not considered more than long shot in the contest for the presidential nomination, but he will be one of the four or i've out standing possibilities when the par ty picks a man to run for the vice. presidency. ..
 The fact that the party doesn't like to pick first place candidates from southern states is his chief handicap insofar as the higher honor is concerned.
 He Is a big man, successful In state government, in politics, In usiness-including farming, and in human relationships.
 A member of the democratic na- tional committee, he has had the respect and the attention of both inc Roosevelt and Smith factions. He is said to have influenced Chair man Raskob to make his wet fight for a referendum rather than for repeal. Byrd was one of the first prominent southcrners to urge a referendum. .,
 He shines as Harmony man. Long ago he united two factions of democracy in his state. His refer endum proposal drew commenda- ton from both Raskob and Bishop Cannon. He probably will be q real power at the Chicago conven- fion, especially if his talents as a maker of harmony are required.
 Virginia adores Byrd because the people know they are better off, financially and industrially. than If he hadn't been governor. Virginia is the state which has no deficit ana no debt contracted since the Civil war-and she thanks Byrd for that.
 He was only 37 when he became governor and is only 45 now.
 He is chubby. good-natured and modest despite his political power, wealth and aristocratic lineage. H. fs one of the famous brothers. rom, Dick and Harry'-Dick is the famous aviator and explorer and Tom. is Harry's associate In the orchard business. operating the largest private apple orchards in tho world.
 The Byrds represent, of course, one of the First Families in Vir- ginia,' although the governor has said: "The trouble with Virginia always has been too much empha- sis on aristocracy."
 Harry Byrd has come most into national prominence through hts advocacy. at the Jefferson Day din- ner in Washington last April, of q decision on prohibition by direct vote of the people. He proposed a

 This would indicate that If the convention got down to second choices, Smith would lose 32 votes to Baker in New Jersey and would gain 16 from Ritchie in Maryland; while the name of Melvin A. Traylor, Chicago banker, would be brought in with the votes of probably half of the Illinois dele gation-29 votes-going to him.
 Bakers second line strength would come from the following:
 From Roosevelt-90.
 From smith-32.
 From White-52.
 From Murray-22.
 From Byrd-24.
 .Total-220.
 Starting with an initial strength of 220 Baker would have to draw $50 votes from the remaining dele- gatfon if the two- thirds rule pre- vails. Should all of the anti Roose- welt basic strength of 337 votes be thrown to Baker he then would have 557. Or 113 less than the two-thirds.
 In such situation. the control would swing once more into the hands of New York, Indiana and Illinois. New York and Indiana together could furnish the votes to nominate him. Or he could be nominated if he could draw 54 from New York, Indiana's 30 and get 20. or one half of Illinois 5S votes.
 Roosevelt forces. under such cir. cumstances, could be permitted to hold the 40 New Yorw votes which they claim and yet Baker. with the support of the remainder of New York's votes. Indiana and half of Illinois could be nominated.

MILLS IN SOUTH
BUY COTTON

CHARLOTTE, N. c., July 25.-
Mill demand for cotton, while
still slow, is somewhat improved
over recent weeks. A number Of
mills, reSuming operations after
being closed, are buying cotton.
Spot dealers report that inquiry
is more active than for some time
past. Most sales involve small
lots only, mills showing dispoSi-
ton to purchase from hand to
mouth.
The American Cotton Coopera-
tive Association reports demand
for middling and strict low mid
dlirUy in short staple lengths, but
only very small lots of such types
are being offered.
The mills continue to operate
on about half time, but are ap-
parently cleaning up stocks of
cotton and goods.
The basis on cotton less than
l inch long remains as high as
it has been for the past several
months. but l inch long cotton
is available on lower basis,
especially where shippers are anx-
ious to clear out stocks.
