SENATOR PROCTOR ACCEPTS
The Re- election rendered Him by the
Vermont Republicans.

-
Montpelier, VT. Oct. 19.-Unite.l
States Senator Redfield Proctor of
Vermont. was. this noon declared re-
| elected from Vermont for term of six
years by the joint assembly Of the Ver-
| mant Legislature. The clerks an
nounced that he received 80 votes in
! the Senate and 205 in the House. J. H.
Senter. Democrat, received 81 votes in
the House. Senator Proctor addressed
| the joint assembly.
ITO serve the state of Vermont in
any capacity is no small honor To be
repeatedly called to such service adds
thereto in ten fold measure. The his
tory of Vermont from her earliest days
has been such as to give those who
serve her without her borders an hon.
orable prestige at the outset. The
record made by my predecessors in
Congress has justified this prestige.
This. while it ADDS to the honor of the
selection of their successors also adds
to their responsibilities. 1t makes 1t
incumbent upon them not only to fOs-
ter and protect the interests of the
state, but to show themselves in every
respect worthy of the high trust con-

six years ago." he continued.
when / came before the joint assem-
bly, on an occasion similar to this, We
had just completed a successful for
eign war. The occasion seemed oppor-
tune and l awaited myself of it, to dis
cuss some OF the new questions which
at that juncture confronted US. Now
we are in the midst of political cam
paign, and it seems to me not appro-
pirate to speak of any matters that can
have a partisan bearing.
Il am a party man proud of my party
and believe in its principles, but l have
always tried, and shall continue to try,
to represent all of the people of this
state without respect to party differ
ences. The primary duty of a member
of the United States Senate is to the
large and national interests committed
by the constitution to that body. At the
same time l 90 not intend to be I'M
mindful of the peculiar interests of our
own Vermont.
If 1 must be judged by what have
accomplished I can claim but little, but
if judged by my constant purpose and
endeavor to serve the state faithfully
and efficiently, feel that l have given
the best service that in me lies. To
continue so to do will, Mr.. President
and gentlemen, be my aim and ambi-
ton as long as I shall represent Yer
mont in the position to which your
confidence has assigned me-"

1o,171,00o BALES OF COTTON.
Bullish Estimate of This Years Crop in
the Southern States.

New Orleans, Oct. 19.-Bullish to an
unexpected degree is the estimate of
the cotton crop issued by the Associ-
alton of Commissioners of Agri-
culture of the Southern and cotton
States Opinion in New Orleans is to
the effect that it underestimates the
crop a trihe. but the further opinion is
that the effect of the estimate on the
planters will be to make the latter hold
their cotton. thus forcing prices as high
as though the estimate were accurate
The total is 1911 900 bales.
The estimate by States follows: Ala
bama, 1,O75.0O0; Arkansas. 725, 900:
Florida, $4,000: Georgia, 1850. 900:
Kansas and Kentucky, 1000: Louisiana,
$4,000; Mississippi, 1.25O.OOO; Missouri.
$4,000: North Carolina. 100000: South
Carolina. 100000; Tennessee, $50. 900:
Texas. Oklahoma and Indian Territory,
100000; Virginia, 5000. Total 1O.171,-
0OO
This estimate was reached at the SEES
sion in Baton Rouge after careful COM
pilations from the reports of the Com
missioners of Agriculture of the several
States. 1t is regarded. as said before.
by the New Orleans trade as being
rather pessimistic. However there is a
very cautious and conservative element
in the market which holds that the
commissioners have reached a Just
estimate.
AS it is the farmers are holding their
cotton in anticipation of higher prices,
and it is believed that on the ground of
the commissioners report, which they
will believe emanates from their
friends. they will determine even more
positively than at present to hold to
their cotton to obtain a materially
higher price. Thus the idea is that the
effect of the report on the prices will,
in the mind of the dealers as being
exact.

In Canada Over Election of Member:

paipn for the election of members of
the Canadian Parliament, Nov. 8, up

practically every constituency. X. l..

leader, will begin a speaking tour in
New Brunswick at Woodstock. tomor-
row. Cabinet ministers will also de-
liver numerous addresses in behalf of
the government. The Liberals are re-
living on the prosperity of the country
and on the program for the construc-
ton Of the trans-continetal railroad.
The railroad plan is unpopular in
this city and the Conservatives claim
they will win both seats in st. John.
Hon. Andrew G. Blair, former minis
ter Of railroads and canals, resigned
his portfolio and his seat in this city
about year ago because he would not
accept the railroad program. but he
was later appointed chairman of the
railroad commission. Yesterday, he re-
signed this position also. He an
nOunces that he still strongly objects
to a Grand Trunk-Pacific road. but has
no intention of re-entering political
life.
The Liberals hope to retain their
large majorities in Quebec and Nova
Scotia and thus be able to offset the
Conservatives strength elsewhere.
