Cotton had advanced, he said, i 40 points, merely on the strength of the New Orleans resolution favoring elimination. He believed Texas would agree more readily to elimination than to reduction. He argued that if the other cotton States should fail to follow South Carolina's lead the cotton elimination act covld be repealed by t'he next general at 'bly on its convening in January.
