INTERNATIONAL MEETING
OF COTTON MEN.
Plan for ManufactUrercrs to Meet
in the south.

in the south.
Baltimore, Md, Sept. 2.-The Manu-
facturers' Record in its issue of this
week suggests an international meet
ing in the South OF men interested in
the manufacture of cotton. 1t pub
fishes letters from representatives of
the textile industry North and South,
of the cotton trade and of cotton
growing, urging that prompt steps be
taken to give the suggestion a prac-
teal outcome.
The letters manifest a deep con-
vction as to the ability of this coun-
try to hold its commence in cotton
growing and to increase it's Importance
as a cotton manufacturer, and as to
the benefits to all parties concerned in
a gathering of men thoroughly ac-
quainted with cotton manufacturing
conditions in this country and abroad.
Foreign spinners are dependent to a
large extent upon the South for their
raw material. and yet probably the
majority of them have never made a
Personal study of this section and
know comparatively little about it's
advantages for cotton growing as
compared with the rest of the world,
and still less, by personal investiga-
tioil, VI tHS ue eNSiopIheHl WhlCH has dt-
ready taken place in cotton manufac-
turing in the South. There is at this
time a tendency to exaggerate ques-
tions of rivals in the textile industry,
between Great Britain and this coun-
try, as we'll as between different parts
of the United States. Personal ac-
quaintance of alleged rivals and per-
sonal observations of Southern facts
may. 1t is believed, be depended upon
to minimize questions of rivalry, to
bring about an understanding that
will save much waste of attempted
competition and be productive of much
benefit to the whole cotton-manufac-
turing world. Such seems to be the
impression of a number of men in
the North and South commencing the

81 feel absolutely assured that John A.
Johnson wiki be elected governor next
month"
John Lind, former governor and present
congressman concededly one of the best
judges of political conditions in the North
west, made that statement yesterday. ac-
centing his fullest belief in what he said
by his sInanner.
1.-The signs are unmistakable." said
Congressman Lind. L know the condi-
tions from observation and from the re-
ports that have come to me from various
and widely divergent sources. If the
sentiment for johnson was confined to one
sectiontof tllesstate, if there was any par
ticular reason. why the Republican candl-
date Should ne opposed only in one To-
cality, 1 would discount the reports from
that place. But the same conditions exist
everywhere. In communities almost who'll
ly Republican the Johnson sentiment is
quite as strong as in places where the
people are divided politically.
81 am not given-to pfepffesying election
results, but it needs no spirit of prophecy
TO forecast truly the election of Mr.. john
son. The only question then remaining
open is the size of the majority.
It is. conceded nova sby well Informed
men in both parties that John A. john
son is aeerta in of election. Even the Dunn
managers no longer make claims except
in a perfunctory and general way. They
do not attempt 10 explain the test votes
that have been taken in Republican.
strongholds and which show Johnson to-
have an immense advantage. nor do they
try to meet the statements of prominent
individual Republicans who are declaring
for johnson all over the state.
Here in st. Paul, where the Dunn claims
have been most extravagant a check has.
been put, upon. them by the admissions of
the leaders that there is no hope OF car
| rying Ramsey county for Dunn. Straw
votes have been taken in large establish
ments where a majority of the declared
Republicans voted for Johnson.
Manager Martin would be in despair
because of the conditions but that he tells
his closest friends that he is not response
BILE. He has been rebuffed on every hand
by the men whom he tried to bring into
| the organization with him and stands
| upon the contention that the campaign
| was crippled before he took charge of the
machine man who had been active be-
! fore Martin took charge and who has since
! been busy with private affairs, said:
Its all over but the shouting. If things
! had been left alone We might have got
| through in spite OF weak organization,
| but the employment of Martin exposed
| our weakness. Now, don't consider that
| it is up to me to pour water on Mr.; Mar
] tins Wheel and that is what the election
| of Bob Dunn would mean to most OF us
| who went through the convention fight
with him. It's me to be pretty busy with
| my private affairs. If Bob gets through
| ali right but l don't like the looks of
! things, and I'm not going to be in the
/ way when the blowup comes.

John A. Johnson, the Democratic can
didate for governor, has strenuous week
mapped out for him, and from carly this
morning until late. next Saturday night
he will be constantly on the move. For
the week he has been given the most
extensive list of speaking dates since
the opening of the campaign.
The fine impression the candidate is
making has led the state committee TO.
press him into service in every possible
way, with the result that for the next
three weeks he will be overburdened.
This does not necessarily mean the NUM-
her of speeches that he will be COM
PEELED to deliver, but the amount of
ground it will be necessary to cover Mr..
Johnson is not complaining, and has a

Senator Knute Nelson came in yesterday
from speaking tour in the southern part
of the state and was not in hopeful
mood as to the outcome of the state
election when he registered at the Mer-
chants hotel.
Publicly he was not expressing his opin-
ion but to the numerous acquaintance
who accosted him and asked as to the
likely result he shook his head :, and
frowned in forbidding manner. He
gave those who talked with him the inn
preston that he is fearful that the Demo-
cratic ticket will be successful and that
all the power of the Republican machin-
cry will be unable to stop the landslide.
As Senator Nelson made his last tour
since James Martins appointment to the
state committee and has been able to OBJ
serve the general feeling, his noticeable
disappointment had a distinct effect upon
the leaders of the Republican state cam
paign. Accredited. with having brought
about the changes that resulted In Mar
| tins appointment to place on. the COM
mittee and having beer. responsible also
| it is claimed, for Martins elevation to the
| position of actual manager of the cam
paign, the senator's condition of mind
was anything but pleasant news when 1t
was reported at Republican headquarters,
! R. c.. Dunn, the candidate for governor,
| was there at the time He shortly after
wards left the rooms and walked in the
direction of the Merchants. 1t was
| thought that he had gone to nave con-
suItation with Senator Nelson, but he did
| not arrive at the hotel. Dunn looked
| tired and discouraged. Great dark circles
| have made their appearance about his
| eyes and in walking there is an absence
| of elasticity in his step.
Senator Nelson spent the day about the
hotel But few called to see him. This
| is unusual and the senator noticedssit.
He went to his. room early in the evening,
! leaving word with the clerk that he was
| not to be disturbed. 1t was evident to
all who saw MIN that he feels. that the
situation is not what he hoped that he
! would find it. Before leaving the city
| today he will meet with Martin and the
other members of the committee.
