GREAT COTTON CROP EXPECTED
Railroads Prepare to Handle the
Fleecy Staple.

Fleecy Staple.
Dallas Tex, Aug. 18.-The Of
ficials of Texas railroad lines be-
lieve that Texas is going to have a
large cotton crop this year, and they
are prov ng 1t In various ways. For
instance, the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas ailroad company is enlarg-
ire H. cation platforms at scores of
stations and other railroads are
adopting similar course. One Mis-
souri,. Kansas ami Texas station
agent writes to headquarters at Dali
as that the present cotton platform
is too small by third to handle
the bales expected fer shipment this
year.
Railroad companies are laying in
supplies of cotton hooks, trucks, re-
pairing every available flat car and
instructing car accountants to Sc
cure by every possible means the
lines rolling stock by September /.
The car shortage Is looked forward
to with more seriousness than earl
ier in the season
IF the business is as large as we
expect said traffic man, I'VE will
be loading cotton into box care, cat
tie cars, and we may have to use
the available space, on the tender
OF the freight engines" The last re-
mark was humorously made, al
though the oficial was serious about
the car shortage and tho require

stirs up the dormant Roosevelt sentl-
ment. Last week we had another
manifestation of that. Their press
bureau began to declare that Taft is
losing ground and he has no cinch on
first ballot nomination. Then observ-
ant correspondents in every section
noted a recurrence of the third term
sentiment, and county and district
conventions in the west declared for
Roosevelt. When the pooled interests
get to the Chicago convention they
will discover, that if they can produce
sufficient number of contests to
create a deadlock, the Roosevelt senti-
ment will be too much for them, and
they will have to take their choice
between Taft and the third term, and
take ii quickly. They will never OPP
pose Taft there, and he will be the
only candidate when the convention is
called to order.

THE LEGISLATURES.

When the returns were all In from
the last general election 1t was seen
that a timely gerrymander had saved
to Kentucky Democracy by frazzlins
margin both houses of the general as
sembly. that would elect a United
States senator and handle such
weighty propositions as the tobacco
situation and the county unit law. 1t
was politics, tobacco and whisky and
the Democratic party mixed up the
three together.
1t was freely predicted when the
returns were read, that the Republic
can state administration would be so
handicapped with a Democratic gen.
eral assembly, that 1t would be ruined,
and The Sun was led to comment on
this misfortune, remarking that 1t
was one of the adverse conditions,
which the administration would have
to face without affording II an en-
cuse for any failures. The Demo-
cratic remnant saw the opportunity,
too. and it took pains TO organize the
legislature into a political machine.
The lieutenant governor was shorn OF
his accustomed prerogatives. The
president pro tenn of the senate was
given authority to name committees,
and the speaker of the house was Sc
lected as presiding officer of the joint
session.
But even this arrangement worked
to the undoing of Democracy, for it
more than ever the re-
sponsibllity of the Democratic party
for everything done and left undone.
The Republican minority in the
houses was helpless.
There isn't much left to be said.
All the bills passed may easily be
grouped into three classes, those car
rying appropriations, those benefit
ting certain classes, and those urged
by local politicians. No legislation
designed to aid in restoring order in
the commonwealth was seriously con-
the county unit law was de-
feated; race track gambling was legal
lied.
Instead of embarrassing the Re
publican administration, this Demo
cratic legislature has crowned with
humiliation the stricken Democracy of
and by contrast accentuated
the efficiency of the executive depart-
ment.

THE POLITICAL POOL.

dministrationists can not get
that political pool to working right
for several obvious reasons. The first
and all embracing reason is that every
body knows it is pooling of influence,
and that Taft and Hughes are the only
bona fide candidates for the Republi-
can presidential nomination; that
these two only are in the fight to the
last ditch. Cannon. Knox, Fairbanks
and Foraker are acting palpably in con.
junction, the three trying to hedge
Taft's state about with favorite son
candidates., while Foraker fought him
at home. Foraker failed ignomlnous-
ly and met political death in the per-
Torrance of his part of the plot to as
sassinate Taft Fairbanks. Cannon
and Knox proposed to get all the votes
each one could and then throw their
combined strength to the most avail
able man at the convention. 1t might
have worked If everybody had not
learned their secret in advance. Now
II is apparent that none OF them can
deliver the votes of his own state to
any one else.
When the break comes Indiana and
Pennsylvania will go to Taft almost
solidly, and even in Illinois, where
Joe Cannon has arranged that not the
voters, but the committees shall name
the delegates, it is seen that every
man is ready to spring into the Taft
wagon, when Uncle Joe gives up.
These delegates, too, will all be the
personal friends and followers of the
three candidates named As long as
Joe Cannon is a candidate Illinois del
egates will support him, and Fairbanks
and Knox and Hughes are assured of
the same loyalty from the delegates of
their respective states; but loyalty
does not comprehend stolid. ox-Mke
submission TO being delivered like a
car load of livestock. As Lieutenant
Governor Harding Of Ohio, said to his
friend Foraker, he was for Foraker
for president or anything else he de-
sired, but If Foraker was only seek
ing the defeat of Taft, neither friend
ship nor loyalty required him to fol-
low Foraker, and he announced for
Taft. These Illinois Republicans will
support Cannon, but when Cannon
drops out of the race, they will go to
whomsoever they please, and Joe Can
non can demand nothing more of
them.
In two weeks Fairbanks has not
gained a single delegate outside his
home state. Cannon has not gained a
delegate outside his own state and the
complimentary vote of the congress
sional district in North Carolina in
which he was born. Knox is confined
to Pennsylvania, and outside New
York, where he is supported through
the courtesy of the national admins
tration, Hughes has four delegates
from Missouri There were 2S dele
gates chosen last week and Taft got
"a of them. OF the 1S4 so far
chosen Taft has 1870. Taft's delegates
represent ten states, Cannon's, Knox's
and Fairbanks one state each, and
Hughes two states. and In one of
them every other congressional dis
trict and the state at large instructed
for Taft.

Congress may not do anything this

president telling them about Il. No
wonder so many congressman get pro-

a constituency clamoring for Jobs and

prospective districts that require look

how, is holding his job, and the less
real business he participates in the

FROM THE LITTLE JOE" CLUB
Nothing Personally Offensive Toward
MIR. NJ. II. Marshall Was Intended.

Editor of The News: In justice
to Mr., NJ. H. Marshall the Terrell
County Joe Brown Club desires to
make the following statement:
Our page in the last issue of The
Dawson News contained an article
that might be construed as an insin-
uation against Mr.. NJ. II. Marshall.
1t has been the purpose of the Joe
Brown Club to avoid anything in the
way of personalities, and in so far as
the above mentioned article tended
to reflect personally upon Mr.. Mar
shall we regret its publication.
This article was handed into The
News office by a member of the Joe
Brown Club during the absence of
the manager of the Joe Brown page.
We further state that this state
ment is voluntarily made on our
part, without any request from any
source. 1t is written in accordance
with the rule adopted by the Joe
Brown Club in the beginning that
no offensive personalities were to be
INDUCED in w. Fl. GURR.

Governor Ioke Smith carried the
county by 116 votes, every precinct
giving him a majority except one.
His majority, however, was cut all
along the line, and was considerably
reduced from that of two years ago,
when he received a plurality of sos

Governor Hoke Smith has made
the following statement to the peo-
pie:
1 wish to thank my fellow-citi-
zens who voted for me on Yesterday
FOR the. Jealous and unselfish support
they gave to the principles for which
stand. | will not discuss at this
time the forces which brought
about our temporary defeat Those
principles are as sound and nee

While we accept the result as con-
elusive for the present year we will
not lose courage. We must seek still

We must remain steadfast in our de-
votion to purity in elections and gov
