Cotton at Head
of Porto Rico
New Governor Says Independence
Will Eventually Come to
Island.

SAN JUAN, p. r., Nov. 6-Colonel G.. II.
Cotton was today ~inaugurated governor OF
Porto Rico. succeeding Regis H. Post. we
must stand together for Porto Rico and
Porto Ricans,'' was the keynote of the
inaugural address OF Mr.. Cotton.
Governor Cotton warned the people Of the
country against 'legislatlng themselves
rich in a day" and recommended rather a
calm, sustained. thoughtful effort to take
advantage of every opportunity presented
at home and abroad to extend the Porto
Rican markets and develop It's trade.
He assured the Porto Ricans that COM
plete self-government under the Stars and
Stripes eventually would come to them
when a sustained public opinion arose
among the whole people hat could not be
easily swayed by the specious argument OF
the few who might seek 10 better them
selves at the cost of their country.
In concluding. he said:
II pledge you my constant support Of
everything that may be Of real advantage
to the Porto Rican people and 1 feel that
no petty thing will be permitted TO inter
cept the realization OF the good intentions
of the American people toward YOU"

Cotton Breaks
in New Orleans
Liquidation Causes Drop of Forty-Fve
Points in the March OPP
ton.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 6.-Cotton broke
in a sensational manner this morning un-
der a new liquidation from the longs and
heavy pressure from the bears. About the
middle of the session there was a drop
Of As points on the March option.
The future market at New Orleans
opened steady, with the active options 10
to 15 points up. During the decline the
March option went to 1t.35c and there
were corresponding drops in other months.
NEW YORK, Nov. 6.-There was still
greater excitement in the cotton market
this morning and liquidation was even
more active than yesterday. The market
here had opened at an advance of 5ql7
points, with January contracts selling at
1457c and May, 146c.
There was SOM show of support by the
floor leaders of the southern bull party,
but the unfavorable reports from the south
soon brought the ring into wild confusion.
Selling orders poured in from all directions
and January contracts declined to 14.16c,
with May selling at 1447c.
subsequently the market rallied 10 to II
points from the lowest, but the last prices
were 10 to Is points below the closing
figures of last night.

Statement of Hayward.


LINCOLN, Nov. 8-(Special.)-"At noon
except Chase, Cherry. Keya Paha, Loup,
Mcpherson, Rock, Sheridan and Sioux -
said Chairman Hayward today. Taft car
rled all Of these counties except Sheridan
by majorities totaling 4S1. The one county
which went for Bryan gave him a majority
Of twenty-four. In the eighty-three counties
which we have in, Judge Fawcett, our low
man, has a lead of 1928 over Judge Sulli-
van, their high man. Judge Barnes, our
high man, has a lead over Judge Good,
their low man Of 2,66s, showing how re-
markably close the candidates ran on their
respective tickets. To these majorities may
be safely added 400 more in the eight coun-
ties unheard from. This would make our
smallest majority about LOO and our larg-
est majority on judges about 5000.
I'VE are not disappointed the majority of
our low man, but are surprised that the
majority of our high man is not greater
We started out in the campaign on the
theory that 1t would be much better to
elect all three Of our judges by majorities
Of about 1000 than 10 elect two OF our
Judges by majorities of 10000 to 10000, and
lose one Judge entirely, inasmuch as 1t is
the certificate Of election and not the ma
jority that reall ycounts. Working out this
theory, we have tried all through the cam
paign to build up our low man and pull
down their high man.
The figures on regent will be surprising
because the lack Of fusion on their ticket
on regents has made a great difference in
our favor"
