have issued a statement declaring that forty-eight out of
fifty-s^ven members <|f the committee who definiely gave
opinions, are in favot of abrogation of the historic two-
thirds rule in tfie Democratic national convention of 1928.
It is argued against the rule that it permits a minority

Austin, ------- — ,
Press)-)—A subpoena has been iesued
for Mark Wheeler, pardoned last
week by Governor Ferguson. He
was serving from Tarrant county a
5-j to 99 year sentence for robbery
with firearms. t— ■
the testimony given last Friday by
th3
Mr.
tbl
the
■tore to an enterprise employing
close to 25,000 persons, with a record
of having served more than 300,000
customers in a single day.
Born on a farm near Alstead. New
Hampshire July 20, 1850, Mr. Shedd*
first employment was in the field
of his father's place. At 16 year*
of age, he virtually was driven from
the homestead by a curious trick of
fate such as usually is found in tlM
life histories of many great men.
Walking through the woods on?
day with his brother, with two buck
ets of maple ®*p attached to a yoK
over his shoulders, the youth*.stum-
bled. fell, and was drenctyd, from
head to foot in the gummy mass.
When his brother had regained
self-control after his fit of laughter
at John's predicament he asked:
"Well what are you going to do?”
The answer came like a flash:
"I am going to find something bet
ter than farming.”
Within a few weeks he left th”
farm for a clerkship in a grocery "
•store at Bellows Falls, Vt., at $1.59
a week and board. Here began the
business career of a country lad who
was known to have attended school
“off and o nduring winters.”
The business acumen of the young
man soon attracte dthe attention oi
Benjamin H. Burt, a leading merchant
of Rutland, who immediately offered
Shedd a place in his store at doubie
the salary he received in his first
connection. His associations witii
Mr. Burt were regarded by Mr. Khed.l
as among the most helpful of his
career.
Within a year the ambitious youth
sought new worlds to conquer and
departed for Chicago. He approached
Marshall Field and was offered a
place in the stock and shipping rodmfc
at $10 a week.
