' Delegates to conventions are ex
pected to carry out the instructions
given them by the convention or e
emblege by which they are appointed.
Instructions constitute the condition
upon which the commission to rep
resent a constituency is given, and no
one who does not want' to recognize
such conditions should accept the com
mission. The only possible excuse for
avoiding or evading instructions would
be a charge that the instructions were
procured by fraud or other illegitimate
means.
It develops that for the forthcom

conventions the majority of delegates
in each are under Instructions one way

but, while it is essential that more
land be devoted to cotton and more

resources are properly developed.
Nebraska, Iowa and Kansas the

Florida are not suffering. Nebraska,
