has but set the match. Without deny
ing him any just credit for his gallant
fight, the fact is he has only taken the
leadership of a sentiment that was la
ent everywhere for him. Except perhaps
in Rutland county, he was weaker thar

to thank fool leadership, or worse, il
the past, that they have not reaped the
fruits of their own sowing and cult
waiting.

a straight local option enactment or a

In case of tie in the legislature,
or other complications which might
delay the election of a governor, it is
interesting to note who will be gov
ernor during this period. Section 3
of Article "a of the amendments TO
the state constitution reads:
The term of Office of the governor
lieutenant governor, and treasurer of
the state, respectively, shall commence
when they shall be chosen and quail
fed. and shall continue for the term of
two years, or until their successors
shall be chosen and qualified, or to
the adjournment of the session of the
legislature at which, by the constitu-
tion and laws, their successors are re-
guired to be chosen, and not after such
adjournment. -

financier in the country. At that time

The disturbed state of the markets
showed little improvement to-day, with
the closing pointing to uncertainties
as to their future tendencies. Cotton
closed at the decline, though at one
time both the New Orleans and New
York markets showed signs of rallying
materially. The recoveries made were
not maintained, however, and towards
the closing prices sought their former
levels.
Locally there was reported to be
some better demand for spots, which
was taken as a favorable indication in
view of the reports that spot markets
generally are recorded as having very
steady undertones. Holders show no
disposition to follow the declines in
futures, and in many sections offer
practically no cotton on the declines
Turpentine closed firm at 50Ac, with
