THE BOIL wREv1I.
Secretary Wilson Says the Pest Can.
not be Exterminated.

Dallas, Tex, Nov. 5.-More than
two hundred delegates and about
1000 lay visitors were present at the
opening session of the national bon
weevil and cotton convention TO-DAY
The most conspicuous figure was
James Wilson, the secretary of aor;-
culture. Mr.. Wilson delivered the
principal address. He said he had
come to Texas more than a week ago
to look into the cotton situation. He
did not hesitate to call attention to
the defective methods of Texas
farming as he had observed them and
to declare that under them all the
money IN the United States treasury
could not exterminate the boil weeyiI
pest. He advocated better methods
particularly deep ploughing. The
United States government, he said,
has spent during this year more than
100000 in Texas to help the farm
ers. He declared the boil weevil pest
cannot be exterminated. He said:
"You are here to-day in the inter
est of the cotton crop of the United
States. As far as my observations
and information go we cannot exter-
inmate the boil weevil pest, and you
cannot keep it this side of the Sabine
and the Mississippi Rivers, either.
It is going across"

Tammany Returns to Power in New
York City.

New York, Nov. 3.-After a re-
markable campaign in which there
was united against him nearly all
of the newspapers and practically
every minister Of religion in the city,
George B. Mcclellan, son Of the Civ
il War General, was to-day elected
third mayor of Greater New York
over Seth Low, Fusionist, the pres
ent mayor, by the large plurality of
10000.
Edward N. Circuit was elected
Comptroller and Charles V. Fornes,
president of the Board of Aldermen
These two men we're originally on
the Fusion ticket, and we're endorsed
by Tammany, whereupon the Fusion
lists took their names from the Low
ballot and nominated other candl-
dates. It was the nomination OF
Grout and Fornes by Tammany that
caused Hugh Mclaughlin, the vet
r leader of the Kings County
Democracy, to bolt and declare that
he would not support men who were
not Democrats. In spite of this de-
lection, however, Mcclellan, Circuit
and Fornes carried Kings County
The management of their campaign
there was taken over by State oena-
tor Patrick Il. NcCarren, when Nc
Laughlin refused his aid.
A surprise was the small vote 10I
William S. Devery, former chief OF
police, who ran on an independent
ticket, which was given practlcanS
no support. This result shows a ire
mendous change in public sentiment
since Mayor Lows election two years
ago, when he won by 1852.

Our Washington Letter.
Editor of The Progressive Farmer:

Delegate Rodney, of New Mexico,
has come to Washington for the ex-
ira session, and is prepared to com
mence a strenuous Statehood cam
paign at the first opportunity. He
is the first of the territorial dele
gates to arrive. As neither Delegate
Flynn, of Oklahoma, nor Delegate
Mark Smith of Arizona, have been
returned to the F~ifty-eighth Con
gress, he will have to bear the brunt
of the Statehood fight. However,
many Senators and Representatives
will come to his assistance, and it is
thought that the question of admit
ting territories to the Union of
States will bring forth one of the
most interesting debates of the regu-
lar session.
hi ELECTIONS AND PRESIDENTIAL
POSSIBILITIES
The elections last Tuesday are
studied by politicians here princi-
pally in the light of their effort upon
the greater campaign next fall. 1t
is generally admitted that the signal
victory of the Republicans in Ohio,
has ruined the political prospects of
Tom johnson, and entirely eliminat-
ed him from consideration for the
Democratic nomination next year.
On the other hand Republican oppo-
nents of President Roosevelt are
quietly discussing the chances of
Senator Hanna, whose personal vic
tory, as well as the fact that he is
now in better health, make him an
available candidate for the Republi-
can The Senator from Ohio has
declared that he does not want the
nomination, but those who talk of
him believe he could be forced to ac-
cept it. However, those who 'ques-
ton the advisability of renominating
President Roosevelt, are very eau
tious in expressing their opinion, be-
cause they know that the President
is very popular with the rank and
file of the party, if not with some of
it's leaders, and he is likely to make
an example of those in the party who
oppose him. The Democratic vic
tory in Maryland is of Importance
in regard to its effect upon Senator
German and the issue of the Presi-
Dental campaign. German has now
the prestige of defeating the RepUb-
licans in his State, in a contest in
which President Roosevelt's attitude
on the negro question vas the main
issue. The Southern States would
gladly fight the present Administra-
ton on this issue, and if Senator
German gets the Democratic nomi-
nation, the race question is certain
to be one of the main issues. Repre-
sentative William Randolph Hearst
is another prominent candidate for
the Democratic nomination, and he
too aided his chances by the part. he
took in the election. Of all the New
York papers, his we're the only ones
The progressive farmer. [volume] (Winston, N.C.) 1886-1904, 1903-11-10

Many of them believe that Hearst is
the only man to do it. He has also
received assurances of Bryan's sup
port, while many think that "the
peerless leader" would bolt the ticket
if German were nominated. Hearst
counts on the power of his great pa
pers in NewYork, Chicago, and San
Francisco, as well as on his influence
with the labor leaders. German
seems to count mostly on rae preju-
dice. Owing to the Republican vic
tory in Massachusetts,, Olney's
chances for the nomination are very
slight. As far as the elections show,
Hanna, German and Hearst will be
the personal powers in the campaign
next fall.
THE MANCHURIAN SITUATION.
Advices have been received at the
State Department that Japan and
Russia have come to an agreement
regarding Manchuria and Corea
whereby Russia is to be unmolested
in the possession of the former and
Japan is not to be interfered with
in her plans in the latter. Such an
agreement may have a serious effect
on the interests of the United States,
as we have commercial agreements
with China which it will be difficult
to realize while Russia Is In control
of Manchuria. The treaty granting
US, among other things, the opening
of the ports of Mukden and Antung
has not yet been ratified by the SEN
ate, but Secretary Hay has had a
conference with Senator Cullom,
chairman of the Senate Committee
on Foreign Relations, and it is be-
lieved that they came to an agree
ment that the Senate should take up
the treaty as soon as possible. 1t is
certain, however, that the United
States will protect her rights in
Manchuria and our relations with
Russia have always been such as to
warrant the assumption that she will
come to a satisfactory understand
ing with us. Whatever her motives
may be, Russia's desire to maintain
good relations with this country is
a fact upon which our State Depart
ment can always count. The present
agreement between Russia and Japan
looks as if all the clustering war
talk on the part of Japan was to end
in a simple division of spoils.
