Worlds Production Of Cotton.

Washington.-The worlds produc-
ton of cotton for mill consumption
during the year ending August 81,
1908, exceeded by z.34O. 900 bales the
production of the previous year, ac-
oording to the census bureaus report
on the supply and distribution of cot
ton. It is significant fact, the re
port says. that fluctuations in the
worlds supply are measured practi-
cally by the variations in the annual
production In the United States. II
the consumption of cotton in 1909
equals that of 1908 the United States,
1t is declared, must contribute about
12,500,0 900 bales to prevent further de

Tammany Leader Denies Treachery.

New York.-Charles F. Murphy,
leader of Tammany hall, has dictated
a statement in which he denied spe.
cifically that Tammany hall did not
support Bryan. 1T is silly to accuse
Tammany hall of knitting the national
Democratic ticket, taking all the cir.

would not support either Theodore
Roosevelt, William j. Bryan or Gov

known definitely that the Hearstites
are determined first, last and all the
time to defeat Bryan at the polls
In November. should he be nomin-
ated.
There has has never been set
Element of the differences between
Mr.. Hearst and Mr.. Bryan. Mr..
Bryan on his recent visit to New
York City called on Mr. Hearst but
Mr.. Hearst was not responsive.
1t is said that when Mr. Bryan
goes there again, April 10, to tour
the state, on the eve of the demo-
cratic state convention, April IA, he
will call on Mr.. Hearst.
The Bryan people it was learned,
from those who. have discussed the
Bryan-Hearst situation with Mr..
Bryan and Mr.. Hearst feel that Mr..
Hearst has been altogether too con-
sentative in his recent public
speeches and utterances.
Mr.. Hearst and his friends have
not given public expression to their
views on Mr.. Bryan and his public
utteranecs but it was intimated
strongly by those in the confidence
of Mr.. Hearst that Mr.. Bryan's re-
cent political propositions will NO
have the support of Mr.. Hearst and
his party.
Another matter was brought up,
the old story of Mr.. Hearst's enthus-
iastic support of Mr. Bryan in 1895
and 1900 and of Mr.. Bryan's re-
fusal to aid Mr.. Hearst in his can
didacy for the presidential nomina-
ton in the national convention in
1904. Not only did Mr.. Bryan re-
fuse aid to Mr.. Hearst but seconded
the nomination of former Senator
Cockrell of Missouri.
1t was stated most emphatically
by those in Mr.. Hearst's confidence
that while he would not raise a hand
to defeat Bryans nomination, he
would use every means at his COM
mand to defeat Bryans election.

HEARST VS.. BRYAN

The Hearst people, it was said to-
day, have made up their minds to
hold their national convention of the
national party (the National indie
pendence League) at Chicago about
July 81. There are four cities un-
der consideration-Boston, New
York, Chicago and San Francisco
but in all probability Chicago will
be selected.

governor of Massachusetts on the

ing groomed as a possible nominee

Mr.. Hisgens entrance into politics
was brought about largely through
the fact that he saw what evils were
being perpetrated through the cor
ruption of politics by high finan
ciers.

Hhere is a summing up of the pol
itic;d situation in an interview by
that democratic notable Colonel
Henry Watterson. In answer to the
question: What About the Great
Capitalistic Interests Will
They Favor" He said:
In my opinion the great capital
istic interests in the end will be for
Bryan. Why? Because if Taft is
elected he will stand charged with
carrying out Roosevelt's policies,
and the republican senate will be
reduced to obedience to him. The
corporations will then have nothing
to hope for. But If Bryan is sue
cessful his election will be a re-
buke to Roosevelt and all that the
president stands for--that is to say
it will be a vindication Of conserv-
ative republicanism. The republi-
can party will then reorganize in the
senate and Bryan will be helpless
In my judgment the whole money in
terests will eventually support
Bryan as a choice of evils ;"

TAFT TIDE RISING.

strength to the Taft candidacy. The

ton. He regards 1t as bad politics
to invade the states of those who are
avowed candidates and he will lis
ten to no exception. Under those
circumstances the favorite son rule
will doubtless prevail, but that won't
prevent Mr. Taft being very strong
second choice in most Of these states
Thus he will 60 into convention
not only as leader on the first ballot
by very large margin, but probably
with more second choice delegates
among those who may vote for other
candidates, than any of his oppon-
ents. And it is not to be forgotten
that the now evident hopelessness
of their candidacy may induce the
others to withdraw, leaving the en-
tire field to Mr. Taft.
AS politics go there is but one
conclusion to draw. Mr.. Taft will be
so strong that no sort Of combination
can hope to take the nomination
away from him.

AN ARIsTOCRATIC PANIC

A few weeks ago we had a panic
"a we'll dressed. highly aristocratic
and thoroughly heightened panic.
Everyone participating in the panic
was many times a millionaire-a
we'll respected conservative man of
business and a reactiOnary in poll
tics. What caused the panic Is still
a matter of dispute But this much
is certain-those scenes of lawless-
ness, recklesness, frenzy, theft, re-
pentance and suicide were not of the
peoples making. This much more
is certain-it was the deposits of
the people, the small earnings OF
those Of moderate means which were
used to stay the frightful disaster
inaugurated by the daring and reck-
lessness of those leading business
men.
1t was the revelry of the chosen
few, while the great mass of the peo-
pie throughout this great land, pa
tient and forbearing, paying but lit
tie attention to this disturbance on
the roof garden Of finance, toiled
on and by courage and conservatism
did more to bring back confidence
than did all else. If the masses had
become excited, as did those few
hundred about the centers of con-
sentative business places. there
would have been a holocaust of ruin
from ocean to ocean.-W. E. Borah
And it is the promoters of this
panic who are are pleased to call Mr.
Roosevelt an unsafe man and the,
desire to defeat Mr.. Taft because NJ
promises, II elected. to follow thu
