CLAYTON RAND
AND THE TWO-PARTY SYSTEM

Clayton Rand, Gulfport newspaper editor, has Great.
ed a furore in this state by coming out for wendell
Willkie, Republican standard-bearer, for president.
IF You've had the pleasure of meeting Clayton you
know that he is one of the most brilliant men IN the ma
ton, has one of the most engaging personalities IN the
world and is lust as honest in his views as any person
in the world. In addition to all of the foregoing he has
character and nerve enough to back up openly any
thing or anybody that he believes IN.
AS we understand Clayton he has gone Republican"
and deserted the Democratic party. Rather he says
there is no Democratic party anymore, it is the FDR
New Deal party. He says the party has deserted HIM
and all the other folks who believe in democratic prin-
ciples of government.
Clayton has been called practically everything. under
the sun by some of our Mississippi editors. He'll pro-
badly be called carpetbagger and scallawag before it
is over.
hundred percent until he puts us in a war. But we glory
in the spunk of men like Clayton Rand who are just
as honest in their beliefs as we are in ours.
We herald the day when Mississippi will really have
a two-party system. It is as plain as the nose on our face
that until we de have a two-party system here the
south will never receive the benefits we must have if we
are ever to be prosperous again as we were in the
days before the War.
though that is a great deal. We mean benefits for all OF
our people which will come about only when we are
able to do something about tariff walls, freight rates,
Industrial development and a number of other things
that have retarded the growth and development of the
south since the War Between the States.
Only when we are able to match votes with the two
party system states will we ever be able to accomplish
anything politically and thus economically.
Until the two party system ~predominates in the south
we will still be under the handicaps placed on us at the
end OF the War. We can overcome our economic status
only through political power.
Incidentally we do not mean the two-party system
spoken of by George Healy, managing editor of the New
Orleans Times-Picayune, in a letter to the writer. He
said that he had recently returned from New York
where he learned that Louisiana had become famous as
ing a two party -system-"One party in power and the
other party in jail"

Backing his contention that the power trust is a para

The power interests are collecting in overcharges
more than $1,000, 100000 a year from the light and

Mr.. Rankin quoted figures to show what is happen

power system in the whole country
Beginning with Illinois, he charged that, according
to Tacoma rates, "the people of Illinois were overcharged
$85,48O,273 for their electric lights and power in the
year 1888; In 1889, it is just as bad
overcharged $105.004,244 for electric lights and power

sissippi, $5,682,532; Alabama, $40, $50, 684; Georgia,
$14,21 ,978.
After citing these Illuminating figures, Representa-
tive Rankin reminded his hearers that since the crea-
ton of the Tennessee Valley Authority, and the begin
ming of this Administrations power program, we have
forced reductions in light and power rates to the u-
innate consumers throughout this country amounting to
more than $500, 600, 900 a year. And. yet. according to
these Tacoma rates, which are perhaps the best ex-
ample to be found in the United States of what cleo
IrlcIty is really worth, the American people paid over
larges in 1888 amounting to 81, 3 $780, OO."

BEHIND THE SCENES
AMERICAN BUSINESS
BY JOHN

New York, Sept. 9.-Business-
Most important, down-to-earth bust
ness news is that the country's whole
sale markets, after a long stretch Of
lethargy, have suddenly picked up
speed-and prices. The continuing
trend to better retail sales has be-
gun to make serious inroads on
shelves of retailers, and last week
there was quite an epidemic of tele-
grams and special delivery letters
as department stores and other mer-
chandisers began finding their stocks
actually too low. Most experts figure
that this signalizes the end of a
period of hand-to-mouth purchasing,
and that merchants who have been
holding their buyers in check because
of war uncertainty may now loosen
up OF their inventory policies.
Chief buying movement was in
cotton cloth, but wooden and worsted
goods were in strong demand, too.
Textile operations for fall seem al
most sure to be very good. With a
large amount Of wooden mills cur
rent capacity being taken by various
government orders, some mills are
even having to ask customers for a
little extra time on deliveries.

Washington - Housing, in the
small-home brackets, continues at the
unusual rapid pace set earlier in the
summer. In August, applications for
FILA insurance of mortgages on new
small homes reached the third lar
gest total in the agency's history -
and wer as per cent larger in num-
Der and 40 per cent more in amount
than for August, 1889. Last months
operations brought total small home
mortgages selected for appraisal by
the FILA during its six years of opera
tions to over the 1000, 900 mark.
Average cost of the homes in this
bracket is $4,000.
transportation Ready-Should a
emergency suddenly confront the
United States, the nations transpor-
tation system could move an army of
one million men, together with a
years supply of food, from coast to
coast in ten days. SO X. N. Merritt,
general sales manager of Railway Ex-
press, told an audience in the Good
rich arena at the New York Worlds
Fair upon accepting for his organiza-
ton the rubber company's award for
distinguished public service. To illu-
strate the enormity of this task, he
explained that the population of a
city the size of Baltimore or st.
Louis is less than a million persons.
The food requirements for a million
armed men, as estimated by a food
industry expert, would come to some
$4,000 tons. Included are such size
able items as 11,250,0O0 chickens,
10000 900 dozen eggs and AS, 0O0,-
600 tons of onions. Actually, the Job
is not as taxing as it appears, Mr..
Merritt declared, explaining that the
railroads move more than that much
freight tin a single day. Railway
Express carries over 10000, 900
packages a year, while the air lines,
buses and railroads combined carry
that many passengers every eight
hours on the average.
